Mr. Dominic J. Mancini
Acting Deputy Administrator
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs
Office of Management and Budget
Washington, DC 20503
Dear Mr. Mancini:
In accordance with title 5, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Act, Part
1320.13, “Emergency Processing,” the Department of Defense requests
emergency processing and approval of a public information collection. The
purpose of this emergency submission is to establish safeguards for all individuals
affected by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cybersecurity incident.
The goal of this effort is to provide individuals with situational awareness of any
loss of their Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and to offer those
categorized as “impacted” with government-provided credit monitoring and
identity protection services. The Paperwork Reduction Act submission package
and the Statement of Determination have been uploaded into ROCIS.
The Department of Defense cannot reasonably comply with the normal
clearance procedures under title 5, CFR, Part 1320. Complying with the normal
clearance procedures is likely to delay or disrupt the collection of information that
could have a positive impact on national security. The information collection is
essential to the mission of the Department. Given this, the Department is
requesting emergency approval by November 15, 2015.
This Emergency Information Collection Request has been coordinated with
the Office of the DoD CIO.
Please contact me for any additional information at 571-372-0493, or

Sincerely,
