Information Collection; GSA Equity
Study on Remote Identity Proofing
AGENCY:
A. Purpose
SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, GSA will be
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) a request to review
and approve a new information
collection requirement. The collection is
to facilitate a research study in which
participants will test several remote
identity proofing services and respond
to survey questions to gather
demographic information related to the
study.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
November 21, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments
identified by Information Collection
3090–XXXX; GSA Equity Study on
Remote Identity Proofing to: https://
www.regulations.gov. Submit comments
via the Federal eRulemaking portal by
searching for ‘‘Information Collection
3090–XXXX; GSA Equity Study on
Remote Identity Proofing’’. Select the
link ‘‘Submit a Comment’’ that
corresponds with ‘‘Information
Collection 3090–XXXX; GSA Equity
Study on Remote Identity Proofing’’.
Follow the instructions provided at the
‘‘Submit a Comment’’ screen. Please
include your name, company name (if
any), and ‘‘Information Collection 3090–
XXXX; GSA Equity Study on Remote
Identity Proofing’’ on your attached
document. If your comment cannot be
submitted using https://
www.regulations.gov, call or email the
points of contact in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
document for alternate instructions.
The GSA ‘‘Equity Study on Remote
Identity Proofing’’ will assess the impact
of demographic factors on both
biometric and non-biometric proofing
checks. Using the NIST SP 800–63–3
Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2)
standard as a framework, GSA will test
how remote identity-proofing methods
like facial verification technology
perform across various demographic
groups. To conduct this study, GSA is
working with vendors that are
compatible with the study architecture
and can meet agency compliance
requirements.
GSA will release the study’s results in
a peer-reviewed publication. The report
will present a statistical analysis of
failures and successes for the proofing
checks and explore the causes behind
negative or inconclusive results. These
results will help GSA understand the
current technological barriers to
equitable identity-proofing services for
the public.
GSA will be partnering with a
recruitment agency to engage the
general American public to participate
in the study. Participants will be asked
to share demographic information to
help GSA understand if and how these
variables impact the performance of
various remote identity-proofing
solutions; GSA will collect the
participant’s race, ethnicity, gender, age,
income, educational level, and other
demographic data.
The identity-proofing workflow will
also collect the following personally
identifiable information (PII): a picture
of the participants’ State ID Card
(including name, date of birth, physical
address, and document number), Social
Security Number, phone number, and a
picture of the participant’s face.

regarding a new request for an OMB
clearance.

Identity-proofing vendors will delete all
participant data from their systems
within 24 hours of collection. GSA will
retain PII data until the study is
published in a peer-reviewed
publication.
Furthermore, while participants are
using the study’s web-based platform,
GSA will collect the personal mobile
device hardware and software data as
well as device-behavioral information
(how the device and its applications are
used).
GSA will share anonymized
demographic information, identityproofing results, and PII data with an
academic partner that will analyze the
results and assist GSA in publishing a
peer-reviewable report.
Finally, upon completion of the
workflows, participants will be asked to
complete an exit survey that gathers
feedback on their overall experience
with the study.
Selected participants will be
compensated for their participation in
this study.
B. Annual Reporting Burden
Respondents: 2,000–4,000.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Hours per Response: .5 hours.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 2,000.
C. Public Comments
Public comments are particularly
invited on: Whether this collection of
information is necessary, whether it will
have practical utility; whether our
estimate of the public burden of this
collection of information is accurate,
and based on valid assumptions and
methodology; ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and ways in
which we can minimize the burden of
the collection of information on those
who are to respond, through the use of
appropriate technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology.
