SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Industrial
Security System (NISS); DCSA Form 147; OMB Control Number 0705-0006.
Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary
for DCSA to oversee the National Industrial Security Program (NISP)
pursuant to Executive Order 12829. The National Industrial Security
System (NISS) is the primary collection instrument for DCSA oversight
of the NISP and maintaining data associated with cleared facilities and
their oversight. The NISS is the repository of records related to the
maintenance of information pertaining to contractor facility security
clearances (FCL) and contractor capabilities to protect classified
information in its possession. The information is utilized to determine
if a company and its key management personnel are eligible for issuance
of a facility clearance in accordance with 32 CFR part 117
requirements. In addition, information is utilized to inform Government
Contracting Activities of contractor's ability to maintain facility
clearance status and/or storage capability as well as to analyze
vulnerabilities identified within security programs and ensure proper
mitigation actions are taken to preclude unauthorized disclosure of
classified information. As part of the FCL process, contractors must
also complete and maintain a DCSA Form 147 in NISS. The form provides a
single document to record the numerous characteristics of Open Storage
Areas that are required to be reviewed for contractor facilities to be
approved by DCSA for classified storage.
Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; not-for-profit
institutions.
Annual Burden Hours: 23,342.
