National Technical Information Service
Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
Agency: National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Commerce.
Title: Limited Access Death Master File Certification Form
(Certification Form).
OMB Control Number: 0692-0013.
Form Number(s): NTIS FM161.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information
collection.
Number of Respondents: NTIS expects to receive approximately 250
applications and renewals for certification every year for access to
the Limited Access Death Master File.
Average Hours per Response: 2.5 hours.
Burden Hours: 625 (250 x 2.5 hours = 625 hours).
Needs and Uses: NTIS issued a final rule establishing a program
through which persons may become eligible to obtain access to Death
Master File (DMF) information about an individual within three years of
that individual's death. The final rule was promulgated under Section
203 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, Public Law 113-67 (Act). The
Act prohibits the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) from disclosing DMF
information during the three-year period following an individual's
death (Limited Access DMF), unless the person requesting the
information has been certified to access the Limited Access DMF
pursuant to certain criteria in a program that the Secretary
establishes. The Secretary delegated the authority to carry out Section
203 to the Director of NTIS.
The final rule requires that a Person seeking access to the Limited
Access DMF establish a legitimate fraud prevention interest or
legitimate business purpose pursuant to a law, governmental rule,
regulation, or fiduciary duty. The Certification Application Form
collects information that NTIS will use to evaluate whether the
respondent qualifies to receive the Limited Access Death Master File
under the rule.
Affected Public: Members of the public seeking certification or
renewal of certification for access to the Limited Access Death Master
File under the final rule for the ``Certification Program for Access to
the Death Master File.''
Frequency: Once a year.
Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
This information collection request may be viewed at reginfo.gov.
Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections
currently under review by OMB.
Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information
collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice
to [email protected] or fax to (202) 395-5806.
