PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Abstract: Authorized by Executive Order 10450, the Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD–12), regulations mandated by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management OPM, and the Department of the Interior (DOI), the National Park Service (NPS) collects information from all applicants for Federal employment and non-Federal personnel requiring access to NPS property. The NPS uses Form 10–152, ‘‘Background Clearance Initiation Request’’ to collect information from all applicants to determine their suitability to receive DOI credentials. The National Background Investigation Services (NBIS) Electronic Application (eApp) System, is used to create accounts necessary to initiate background investigations for all individuals requiring access to NPS property and/or to receive a DOIAccess Personal Identification Verification (PIV) badge. The information collected is protected by the Privacy Act and maintained in a secure system of records Interior/DOI– 45, ‘‘HSPD–12: Identity Management System and Personnel Security Files,’’ 86 FR 50156; September 7, 2021). With this renewal, we’re proposing to update the name of the form from National Park Service Background Clearance Initiation Request to National Park Service Investigation/Background Clearance Initiation Request. Adding ‘‘Investigation’’ to the form clarifies the purpose and intent of the form. We’ve made modifications to two of the fields, expanding on the response options to clarify the different non-federal affiliations for fields in DOI Access and also based on the changes in the vetting model. We’ve added four new fields based on the new administrative requirements and due to the feedback received during the voluntary outreach exercise. Title of Collection: National Park Service Background Investigation/ Clearance Initiation Request. OMB Control Number: 1024–0282. Form Number: NPS Form 10–152. Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection. Respondents/Affected Public: Candidates for Federal employment, as well as contractors, partners, and other non-Federal candidates proposed to work for the NPS under a Federal contract or agreement who require access to NPS property and/or a DOI Access PIV badge. Total Estimated Number of Annual Respondents: 6,500. Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 6,500. Estimated Completion Time per Response: 7 minutes. E:\FR\FM\03OCN1.SGM 03OCN1
