The Department of Defense, through the Department of the Navy and the United States Marine Corps, has submitted a proposal to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) seeking approval for a new information collection under the Paperwork Reduction Act. This collection involves the Navy Access Control Management System and the U.S. Marine Corps Biometric and Automated Access Control System to manage base access. It aims to ensure security by verifying individual identities using biometric data. The public has until March 31, 2021, to submit comments on this proposal.
Simple Explanation
The Navy and Marine Corps want to use computers to check who can come onto their bases, like how some places use ID cards. They're asking people to comment on this plan by the end of March, but they haven't explained what they'll do with the collected information to keep it safe.
