# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

 

*Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number:*                     Collection of Required Data Elements to Verify Eligibility; OMB Control Number 0704-0545.                

*Needs and Uses:*                     Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) has implemented the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) Verification portal to provide a self-service, easy to use, navigable public facing website that allows individuals potentially impacted by the OPM data breach to securely provide personal identifiable information in order to investigate their eligibility for credit monitoring as a result of being affected by the OPM background investigation data breach without calling a Government call center. The information collected will be used only to verify whether an individual was impacted by the OPM cybersecurity incident involving background investigation records and to send a letter confirming status as “impacted” or “not impacted” by this incident. Once the minimally required information has been entered into the OPM Verification portal, it will be compared to an electronic master file and verification will be accomplished electronically. After the Government has validated the individual's status, the DMDC will                           ( print page 29302)                        generate and mail a response letter. This letter will either confirm eligibility and contain a pin for impacted individuals, or confirm that the individual was not impacted by this cybersecurity incident.                

*Affected Public:*                     Individuals or households.                

*Annual Burden Hours:*                     4,166.67.                

*Number of Respondents:*                     50,000.                

*Responses per Respondent:*                     1.                

*Annual Responses:*                     50,000.                

*Average Burden per Response:*                     5 minutes.
