Abstract: The Facility Access Media (FAM) Request, NA Form 6006, is completed by all individuals requiring recurring access to non-public areas of NARA's facilities and IT network (such as NARA employees, contractors, volunteers, NARA-related foundation employees, volunteers, interns, and other non-NARA Federal employees, such as Federal agency reviewers) herein referred to as “applicants,” in order to obtain NARA Facility Access Media (FAM). After approval of the request, the applicant is given a FAM, if approved, and is then able to access non-public areas of NARA facilities and IT network.

The collection of information is necessary to comply with Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12 requirements for secure and reliable forms of personal identification issued by Federal agencies to their employees, contractors, and other individuals requiring recurring access to non-public areas of Government facilities and information services. The name change is necessary to comply with changes in Government-wide terminology so that the request refers to all types of access media, not just identification cards. This form was developed to comply with this requirement.

Executive for Information Services/CIO.
