Abstract: The majority of the Forest Service's financial records
are in databases stored at the National Finance Center (NFC). The
Forest Service uses employees and contractors to maintain
[[Page 25443]]
these financial records. The employees and contractors must have access
to NFC to perform their duties.
The Forest Service uses an electronic form FS-6500-214, Financial
Information Security Request Form, to apply to NFC for access for a
specific employee or contractor. Due to program management decisions
and budget constraints, it has been determined that contractors will
need to complete and submit the form.
The contractor and the Forest Service systems provide the
information necessary to complete form FS-6500-214. The contractor
verifies completion of two courses within the last year: Privacy Act
Basics and IT (Information Technology) Security. The contractor then
enters their short name assigned by the Forest Service. Using the short
name, the screen is populated with information that the contractor can
change if incorrect. The information includes: Name, work email, work
telephone number, and job title. The contractor checks the box for a
non- federal employee and provides the expiration date of the contract.
The contractor then selects the databases and actions needed. Based on
the database(s) selected, the contractor provides additional
information regarding the financial systems, work location, access
scope, etc. Once the form is submitted to the client security officer,
a one-page agreement automatically prints, which the contractor and
client security officer sign. The agreement is a certification
statement that acknowledges the contractor's recognition of the
sensitive nature of the information and agrees to use the information
only for authorized purposes. The information collected is shared with
those managing or overseeing the financial systems used by the Forest
Service, this includes auditors.
Estimate of Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 9,549.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,774 hours.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the Agency's
estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to this notice, including names
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record.
Comments will be summarized and included in the submission request
toward Office of Management and Budget approval.
Robert Velasco,
Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
