SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: FOCI Outside Director/Proxy 
Holder Nomination Questionnaires; OMB Control Number 0705-0005.
    Type of Request: Revision.
    Number of Respondents: 250.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 250.
    Average Burden per Response: 45 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 188.
    Needs and Uses: This information collection is necessary for DCSA 
to provide proper monitoring and oversight of companies with Foreign 
Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI) while those companies provide 
services on a U.S. government contract. In order to mitigate foreign 
ownership risks, DCSA approves the nomination of Outside Director/Proxy 
Holder(s) (OD/PH) for specified companies when the mitigation strategy 
requires their appointment. The OD/PH will be a cleared U.S. citizen, 
disinterested in the company and its shareholder, who can exercise 
management prerogative to ensure the foreign owner is effectively 
insulated from controlling or influencing the management or business of 
the cleared company in a manner that could affect its performance on 
classified contracts. DCSA must collect information from both the 
company officials nominating individuals for the OD/PH role, as well as 
the nominees themselves. This information is necessary to verify that 
all nominated OD/PH are capable of performing their duties effectively 
at the time of nomination and understand their responsibility in 
serving an OD/PH role. It also helps DCSA ensure that the FOCI boards 
are effective in fulfilling their national security and fiduciary 
responsibilities while under FOCI mitigation. DCSA authority for this 
information collection can be found in 32 CFR 117, the National 
Industrial Security Program Operating Manual Rule, which, in part, 
describes how cleared contractors under FOCI must operate to possess a 
facility clearance.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    OMB Desk Officer: Ms. Jasmeet Seehra.
