In compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive
12 (HSPD-12), signed by President Bush on August 27, 2004,
the Institute for Museum and Library Services began implementing
the HSPD-12 program department-wide on October 1, 2007.
In accordance with this directive the issuance of Federal
ID credentials will change significantly. Our Role Administrators
have completed the necessary training and are now ready
to initiate the HSPD-12 process. The Role Administrators
for IMLS are comprised of personnel from the Office of
Human Resources (HR), Equal Employment Office (EEO), and
the Office of the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
Our new requirements are comprised of the following:
• All employees must complete a favorable background
investigation, including a FBI fingerprint check; for
the majority of our staff, this will mean a National Agency
Check with Inquiries (NACI)
• All employees must present two forms of identification
to validate their identity
• There must be a separation of duties for each
Role Administrator
The HSPD-12 credentials are also referred to as the Personnel
Identity Verification (PIV) cards. Individuals applying
for a PIV card will be referred to as applicants. The
agency sponsor, located in HR, will authorize the issuance
of the cards; others including adjudicator and role administrator
will serve in additional roles. IMLS will use the TimeTrade
portal to schedule appointments for ID cards. The GSA
facility will create the new PIV credentials.
This new program will mean our employees will have to
adjust to significant changes throughout IMLS and the
Federal Government; it is our hope that it means a safer
and more secure work environment.
