SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; And Omb 

Number: Defense Biometric 

Identification Records System; OMB 

Control Number 0702–XXXX. 

Needs And Uses: The information 

collection requirement for the Defense 

Biometric Identification Records System 

(IT System name DoD Automated 

Biometric Identification System (ABIS)/ 

Biometric Enabling Capability (BEC)) is 

necessary to support the DoD, FBI, DHS, 

other government agencies, and 

approved international partners for 

intelligence, force protection, national 

security, and law enforcement purposes. 

Affected Public: Federal Government, 

Individuals or households. 

Annual Burden Hours: 208,000 

(964,018 since system creation). 

Number of Respondents: 11,568,220 

(total records in the system). 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Average Burden per Response: 5 

minutes. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

The DoD ABIS matches and stores 

biometric data collected by global U.S. 

forces during the course of military 

operations. Data may also be collected 

for use in field identification and 

recovery of persons, or their physical 

remains, who have been captured, 

detained, missing, prisoners of war 

(POW), or personnel recovered from 

hostile control. 

Records in the system pertain to 

military operations conducted by all 

Combatant Commands (COCOMs) 

across the globe. Individuals covered 

include members of the U.S. Armed 

Forces; Department of Defense (DoD) 

civilian and contractor personnel; 

military reserve, Army and Air National 

Guard personnel; and other individuals 

requesting access to U.S. installations 

and facilities. DoD has used the 

information collected and processed to 

the Terrorist Screening Center to place 

individuals on National Watchlists. 

Without this collection, matching, and 

sharing of biometric and associate 

contextual information there would be 

grave implications to National Security 

and security of our forces deployed 

abroad.
