Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary to control physical access to Department of Defense (DoD), Department of the Navy (DON) or U.S. Marine Corps Installations/Units controlled information, installations, facilities, or areas over which DoD, DON or U.S. Marine Corps has security responsibilities by identifying or verifying an individual through the use of biometric databases and associated data processing/information services for designated populations for purposes of protecting U.S./Coalition/allied government/national security areas of responsibility and information; to issue badges, replace lost badges and retrieve passes upon separation; to maintain visitor statistics; collect information to adjudicate access to facility; and track the entry/exit of personnel.

Affected Public: Individuals or Households; Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit institutions.

Annual Burden Hours: 816,667.

Number of Respondents: 4.9 Million.

Responses per Respondent: 1.

Annual Responses: 4.9 Million.

Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.

Frequency: Daily.

Respondents are non-DoD members of the general public, businesses or other for profit and not-for-profit institutions who are seeking to access DoD, DON or U.S. Marine Corps Installations/Bases, installations, facilities, or areas over which DoD, DON or U.S. Marine Corps has security responsibilities. The respondents appear in person, record their personal identifiable information on the SECNAV 5512/1 Department of the Navy Local Population ID Card/Base Access Pass Registration Form, and submit it to the DON/USMC registrar who verifies the information against required I-9 Identity proofing documents. The registrar then enters the respondent's registration data into the Navy's Access Control Management System (NACMS) or the USMC's Biometric and Automated Access Control System (BAACS), which respectively serve as the registering Installation's/Base's Physical Access Control System where the data is stored for local physical access control requirements. Upon entry, this information is also securely transmitted and stored within the Department of Defense's authoritative data source (Local Population Database). The data is used to perform background checks to determine the fitness of non-DoD persons who are requesting access to DoD, DON or U.S. Marine Corps military installations. Upon successful registration and background check, either a Local Population ID Card or Base Access Pass is issued to the respondent. Respondents who provide their personal identifiable information are consenting to collection of information by their action of voluntarily offering their I-9 documents, or fingerprints, irises, and facial profiles for biometric collection. Failure to provide requested information may result in denial of access to DoD installations, facilities, and buildings.
