Personal Identity Verification Form - ATF Form 8620.40

Action
Revision of a previously approved collection
Purpose

Candidates tentatively selected for positions must meet basic qualification requirements before accessing ATF information, IT systems, and facilities. ATF conducts personnel security and suitability background investigations for this purpose, in accordance with IRTPA, HSPD-12, Trusted Workforce 2.0, and other requirements. A first step in this process is verifying the person's identity, which this form documents. Information Collection (IC) OMB 1140-0123 is being revised to reflect that the number of applicants has decreased from 2,000 to 1,000 due to budget cuts affecting positions available for applicants. This has resulted in a corresponding decrease in annual burden hours from 160 to 80.
