-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Federal Investigative Services (FIS), U.S. Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) is notifying the general public and other Federal 
agencies that OPM is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
approval for renewal of information collection control number 3206-
0266, Privacy Act Request for Completed Standard Form SF85/SF85P/SF86, 
INV 100A. OPM is soliciting comments for this collection as required by 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 
35), as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106). The Office 
of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:

    1. 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;
    2. 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;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    4. 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.


DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until April 18, 
2016. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.8(d).

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Federal Investigative 
Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 1900 E Street NW., 
Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by electronic mail at 
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: A copy of this information collection, 
with applicable supporting documentation, may be obtained by contacting 
Federal Investigative Services, U.S. Office of Personnel Management, 
1900 E Street NW., Washington, DC 20415, Attention: Donna McLeod or by 
electronic mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Privacy Act Request for Completed 
Standard Form SF85/SF85P/SF86, INV 100A, is an information collection 
completed by individuals seeking access their most recently completed 
SF85, SF85P, or SF86 that was used to initiate a background 
investigation performed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 
Federal Investigative Services (FIS). OPM FIS's Freedom of Information 
and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office utilizes the optional form INV 100A to 
standardize the collection of data elements specific to Privacy Act 
record requests for previously completed standard forms only. Current 
Privacy Act record requests are submitted to FIS-FOI/PA in a format 
chosen by the requester. Often the requests are missing data elements 
which require contact with the requester, thereby adding processing 
time. Standardization of the data elements collected can assist with 
providing timely responses and FIS-FOI/PA being able to verify the 
identity of the requester thereby ensuring Privacy Act Protected 
records are not inappropriately released to third parties.
    OPM proposes no changes to the form.
