Description

Provide an overview of the application or collection and indicate the legislation authorizing this activity. - Mini-Max is a DOD Application which provides the means for individuals to visit Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC). MSFC employees create visit requests on the Mini-MAX Website hosted at MSFC. All data collected in this manner is immediately transferred to the DOD visitor system (MAX). In so doing, the visitor can be processed at the Army visitor center. The MSFC system sends non-validated visit request records to the Army system. The Army enrolls visitors and creates its own validated visitor record.

Describe the information the agency will collect, maintain, or disseminate and how the agency will use the information. In this description, indicate whether the information contains IIF and whether submission is voluntary or mandatory. - When a visit request is initiated, the visitor’s full name, driver’s License and state of issue, duration of visit, purpose of visit, Employer, and MSFC Sponsor is required. This information is mandatory for access to the Federal installation.

Explain how the IIF collected, maintained, and/or disseminated is the minimum necessary to accomplish the purpose for this effort. - Requirements for access to Federal Facilities mandate that IIF data be collected and verified before approval.

Explain why the IIF is being collected, maintained, or disseminated. - IIF is collected and maintained to comply with the DOD requirements for Federal facility access. All data collected is sent to DOD where it is validated upon visitor enrollment ultimately resides for physical validation and system of record.
