[Docket No.: 050825229–5229–01] 

Announcing Review of Proposed 

Changes to Federal Information 

Processing Standard (FIPS) 

Publication 201, Standard for Personal 

Identity Verification of Federal 

Employees and Contractors 

AGENCY: National Institute of Standards 

and Technology (NIST), Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice. Request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The National Institute of 

Standards and Technology (NIST) 

announces proposed changes to Federal 

Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 

Publication 201, Standard for Personal 

Identity Verification of Federal 

Employees and Contractors. The 

changes to Section 2.2, PIV Identify 

Proofing and Registration Requirements, 

and to Section 5.3.1, PIV Card Issuance, 

will clarify the identity proofing and 

registration process that departments 

and agencies should follow when 

issuing identity credentials. These 

changes are required to make FIPS 201 

consistent with the Memorandum for 

All Departments and Agencies (M–05–

24), issued by the Office of Management 

and Budget on August 5, 2005, 

Implementation of Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12—

Policy for a Common Identification 

Standard for Federal Employees and 

Contractors. Before recommending these 

proposed changes to FIPS 201 to the 

Secretary of Commerce for review and 

approval, NIST invites comments from 

the public, users, the information 

technology industry, and Federal, State 

and local government organizations 

concerning the proposed changes. 

DATES: Comments on these proposed 

changes must be received by October 11, 

2005. 

ADDRESSES: Written comments 

concerning the proposed changes to 

FIPS 201 should be sent to: Information 

Technology Laboratory, ATTN: 

Proposed Changes to FIPS 201, Mail 

Stop 8930, National Institute of 

Standards and Technology, 100 Bureau 

Drive, Gaithersburg, MD 20899. 

Electronic comments should be sent 

to: fips.comments@nist.gov. 

The proposed changes to FIPS 

Publication 201 are available 

electronically from the NIST Web site 

at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. 

Comments received in response to 

this notice will be published 

electronically at http://csrc.nist.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: W. 

Curtis Barker, (301) 975–8443, National 

Institute of Standards and Technology,

Information about FIPS 201 and the 

PIV program is available on the NIST 

Web pages: http://csrc.nist.gov/. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Homeland 

Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 

12, Policy for a Common Identification 

Standard for Federal Employees and 

Contractors, dated August 27, 2004, 

directed the Secretary of Commerce to 

promulgate, by February 27, 2005, a 

Government-wide standard for secure 

and reliable forms of identification to be 

issued by the Federal Government to its 

employees and contractors (including 

contractor employees). FIPS 201 was 

developed to satisfy the technical, 

administrative, and timeliness 

requirements of HSPD 12. The standard 

was developed in a ‘‘manner consistent 

with the Constitution and applicable 

laws, including the Privacy Act (5 

U.S.C. 552a) and other statutes 

protecting the rights of Americans’’ as 

required in HSPD 12. 

To assist departments and agencies in 

implementing the provisions of FIPS 

201, Joshua Bolten, the Director of the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), issued a Memorandum for All 

Departments and Agencies on August 5, 

2005 entitled ‘‘Implementation of 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive (HSPD) 12—Policy for a 

Common Identification Standard for 

Federal Employees and Contractors.’’

The Memorandum provides 

implementation guidance and clarifies 

the requirements for identity proofing, 

registration and accreditation processes. 

Two provisions of FIPS 201 as 

promulgated by the Secretary of 

Commerce earlier this year are not 

consistent with the guidance contained 

in the Bolten Memorandum and those 

provisions of FIPS 201 are hereby 

proposed for revision. Sections 2.2, 

‘‘PIV Identify Proofing and Registration 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 173 / Thursday, September 8, 2005 / Notices 53347 

Requirements,’’ and 5.3.1 of FIPS 201, 

‘‘PIV Card Issuance,’’ are being revised 

to assure that they are consistent with 

the OMB guidance concerning National 

Agency Checks as part of the identity 

proofing and registration process. 

Therefore, NIST has prepared changes 

to FIPS 201 to clarify the identity 

proofing and registration process that 

departments and agencies should follow 

when issuing identity credentials. In 

short, under the proposed FIPS revision 

if an agency does not receive the results 

of the National Agency Checks (NAC) 

within five days, the identity credential 

can be issued based on the FBI National 

Criminal History Check (fingerprint 

check). Identity credentials issued to 

individuals without a completed NAC 

or equivalent must be electronically 

distinguishable from identity 

credentials issued to individuals who 

have a completed investigation. Director 

Bolten’s Memorandum is available 

electronically from the OMB Web page: 

http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/ 

memoranda/index.html. 

The proposed changes to FIPS 

Publication 201 are available 

electronically from the NIST Web site 

at: http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/. 

Authority: In accordance with the 

Information Technology Management Reform 

Act of 1996 (Public Law 104–106) and the 

Federal Information Security Management 

Act (FISMA) of 2002 (Public Law 107–347), 

the Secretary of Commerce is authorized to 

approve Federal Information Processing 

Standards (FIPS). Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, Policy for 

a Common Identification Standard for 

Federal Employees and Contractors, dated 

August 27, 2004, directed the Secretary of 

Commerce to promulgate, by February 27, 

2005, a Government-wide standard for secure 

and reliable forms of identification to be 

issued to Federal Government employees and 

contractors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Notice of Appeal 

Irizarry Garcia has filed a notice of 

appeal with the Secretary of Commerce 

pursuant to the Coastal Zone 

Management Act of 1972 (CZMA), 16 

U.S.C. 1451 et seq., and implementing 

regulations found at 15 CFR part 930, 

Subpart H. Mr. Garcia appealed an 

objection raised by the Puerto Rico 

Planning Board to a consistency 

certification contained within his 

application to the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers for a permit necessary to 

reconstruct a private pier. The 

Appellant requests that the Secretary 

override the State’s consistency 

objection on the basis that the proposed 

activity is ‘‘consistent with the 

objectives’’ of the CZMA. To make this 

determination, the Secretary must find 

that: (1) The proposed activity furthers 

the national interest as articulated in 

section 302 or 303 of the CZMA, in a 

significant or substantial manner; (2) the 

adverse effects of the proposed activity 

do not outweigh its contribution to the 

national interest, when those effects are 

considered separately or cumulatively; 

and (3) no reasonable alternative is 

available that would permit the activity 

to be conducted in a manner consistent 

with enforceable policies of Puerto 

Rico’s management program. 15 CFR 

930.121. 

II. Public and Federal Agency
