SUMMARY:

Jkt 250001
Title of Information Collection:
(A) ‘‘Limited Access Death Master File
(LADMF) Accredited Conformity
Assessment Body Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form’’
(ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form)
(B) ‘‘Limited Access Death Master File
(LADMF) State or Local
Government Auditor General (AG)
or Inspector General (IG) Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form’’ (AG
or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form)
This notice informs the public that
the National Technical Information
Service (NTIS) is requesting approval
for extension of the above information
collection for use in connection with the
final rule for the ‘‘Certification Program
for Access to the Death Master File.’’
The final rule was promulgated under
Section 203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act
of 2013, Public Law 113–67 (Act) and
published on June 1, 2016 (81 FR
34882). The rule became effective on
November 28, 2016 (15 CFR part 1110).
No changes are being proposed to the
currently approved information
collection.
The Act prohibits the Secretary of
Commerce (Secretary) from disclosing
DMF information during the three-year
period following an individual’s death
(Limited Access DMF), unless the
person requesting the information has
been certified to access the Limited
Access DMF pursuant to certain criteria
in a program that the Secretary
establishes. The Secretary delegated the
authority to carry out Section 203 to the
Director of NTIS.
To accommodate the requirements of
the final rule, NTIS is using both the
ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form and the AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form.
The ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form requires an
‘‘Accredited Conformity Assessment
Body’’ (ACAB), as defined in the final
rule, to attest that a Person seeking
certification or a Certified Person
seeking renewal of certification has
information security systems, facilities
and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of
the final rule. The ACAB Systems
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by
the ACAB conducted within three years
prior to the date of the Person or
Certified Person’s submission of a
completed certification statement under
Section 1110.101(a) of the final rule.
This collection includes specific
requirements of the final rule, which the
ACAB must certify are satisfied, and the
provision of specific information by the
ACAB, such as the date of the
assessment and the auditing standard(s)
used for the assessment.
Section 1110.501(a)(2) of the final rule
provides that a state or local government
office of AG or IG and a Person or
Certified Person that is a department or
agency of the same state or local
government, respectively, are not
considered to be owned by a common
‘‘parent’’ entity under Section
1110.501(a)(1)(ii) for the purpose of
determining independence, and
attestation by the AG or IG is possible.
The AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form is for the use of a state
or local government AG or IG to attest
on behalf of a state or local government
department or agency Person or
Certified Person. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form requires
the state or local government AG or IG
to attest that a Person seeking
certification or a Certified Person
seeking renewal of certification has
information security systems, facilities
and procedures in place to protect the
security of the Limited Access DMF, as
required under Section 1110.102(a)(2) of
the final rule. The AG or IG Systems
Safeguards Attestation Form collects
information based on an assessment by
the state or local government AG or IG
conducted within three years prior to
the date of the Person or Certified
Person’s submission of a completed
certification statement under Section
1110.101(a) of the final rule. This
collection includes specific
requirements of the final rule, which the
state or local government AG or IG must
certify are satisfied, and the provision of
specific information by the state or local
government AG or IG, such as the date
of the assessment.
II. Method of Collection

ACAB Systems Safeguards Attestation
Form: NTIS expects to receive
approximately 250 ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Forms from
Persons and Certified Persons annually.
AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form: NTIS expects to
receive approximately30 AG or IG

Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Form: NTIS expects to
receive approximately 250 ACAB

annual cost reflects the cost to the
Federal Government for the ACAB
Systems Safeguards Attestation Forms,
which consists of the expenses
associated with NTIS personnel
reviewing and processing these forms.
NTIS estimates that it will take an
ACAB’s senior auditor three hours to
complete the form at a rate of
approximately $135 per hour, for a total
additional cost to the public of $101,250
(750 burden hours × $135/hour =
$101,250). NTIS estimates the total
annual cost to the public for the ACAB
Systems Safeguards forms to be
$232,500 ($131,250 in fees + $101,250
in staff time = $232,500).

auditor three hours to complete the form
at a rate of approximately $100 per
hour, for a total additional cost to the
public of $9,000 (90 burden hours x
$100/hour = $9,000). NTIS estimates the
total annual cost to the public for AG or
IG Systems Safeguards Attestation
Forms to be $24,750 ($15,750 in fees +
$9,000 in staff time = $24,750).
NTIS estimates the total annual cost
to the public for both the ACAB Systems
Safeguards Attestation Forms and the
AG or IG Systems Safeguards
Attestation Forms to be $257,250
($232,500 for ACAB Systems Safeguards
Attestation Forms + $24,750 for AG or
