• FAR 52.204–9, Personal Identity 

Verification of Contractor Personnel

Directive 12 

This is a new information collection. 

DHS collects this information from the 

respondent, so Personnel Security 

entities can initiate the appropriate 

screening process for determining 

whether the respondent should be 

deemed fit to perform work under a 

contract for, or on behalf of DHS, and 

eligible for logical and/or physical 

access to DHS resources based on the 

risk levels of the designated position. 

This information collection utilizes an 

automated technological solution (i.e., 

Personnel Security Forms application) 

which negates the need for a paperbased DHS Form 11000–25, thereby 

reducing the burden on the respondent 

during the initiation phase of the 

contractor fitness screening process. 

After receiving an invitation to perform 

work under a contact, the respondent 

(i.e., DHS contractor applicant) submits 

and verifies certain biographical 

information (e.g., full name, position 

title, SSN, gender, date and place of 

birth, U.S. citizenship status, telephone 

number, and email address) through a 

public facing web portal. Once the 

information intake is complete, the 

Personnel Security Forms application 

produces an automated electronic 

version of the DHS Form 11000–25 for 

use by the appropriate Personnel 

Security entities to make a fitness 

determination. This information 

collection does not have an impact on 

small businesses or other small entities. 

The information collection for DHS 

Form 11000–25 is voluntary; however, 

failure to provide this information may 

delay or prevent an individual’s fitness 

determination and eligibility for 

physical and logical access to federally 

controlled facilities or information 

systems. 

There is no assurance of 

confidentiality provided to the 

respondents. Consistent with DHS’ 

information sharing mission, all or a 

portion of the information collection 

may be disclosed outside DHS 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in Privacy Impact Assessment, 

DHS/ALL/PIA–038, Integrated Security 

Management System (ISMS), and 

System of Record Notice, DHS/ALL–023 

Department of Homeland Personnel 

Security Management. 

This is a new collection. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

which: 

5. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

6. Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

7. Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

8. Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are to respond, including through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses.

Personal Identity Verification 

Management System and Department 

policy to request a DHS Personal 

Identity Verification Official (PIV–O) 

credential, and if applicable, a shield 

(i.e., metallic law enforcement or nonlaw enforcement badge) to accompany 

the credential. A DHS PIV–O credential 

describes authorities delegated to 

specific DHS employees, contractors, 

and affiliates who interact with the 

public or federal, state, local, or tribal 

entities to perform authorized official 

functions pursuant to law, statute, 

regulation, or DHS Directive. 

The collection of information is 

obtained from (or on behalf of) the 

respondent, who may be a current or 

prospective DHS contractor (i.e., 

member of the public). The information 

is collected electronically using a 

fillable PDF form submitted to the 

respective DHS credentialing office. The 

respondent is responsible for only 

completing Sections 1, 2, and 3 of DHS 

Form 11000–16; the remaining sections 

of the form (Sections 4, 5, and 6) are 

completed by DHS federal employees. 

Qualified personnel within the DHS 

credentialing office holding a requisite 

role in the Identity and Credential 

System(s) of Record use the collected 

information to adjudicate the action 

requested in Section 1 of the DHS Form 

11000–16, and as necessary, enroll, 

identify, and retrieve the applicant’s 

record in the DHS Identity and 

Credential System(s) of Record. 

The collection of information is 

obtained from the respondent 

electronically using a fillable PDF form: 

upon completion, the form is submitted 

to the respective DHS Component 

credentialing office in accordance with 

internal procedures. 

This information collection does not 

have an impact on small businesses or 

other small entities. 

Collection of the information on DHS 

Form 11000–16 is voluntary; however, 

failure to provide the information 

requested may prevent the respondent 

(i.e., applicant) from receiving the 

requested DHS PIV–O credential and/or 

shield. 

There is no assurance of 

confidentiality provided to the 

respondents. Consistent with DHS’s 

information sharing mission, this 

information collection may be shared 

with Federal, state, local, tribal, foreign 

or international government agencies, 

including other DHS Components and 

offices. This sharing will only take place 

after DHS determines that the receiving 

entity has a need to know the 

information to carry out national 

security, law enforcement, immigration, 

intelligence, or other functions 

consistent with the routine uses set 

forth in Privacy Impact Assessment, 

DHS/ALL/PIA–014 Personal Identity 

Verification/Identity Management 

System (PIV/IDMS) and System of 

Records Notice, DHS/ALL–026
