SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: National Industrial
Security Program Contracts Classification System; DD Form 254; OMB
Control Number 0704-0567.
Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 48 CFR 27, in conjunction with subpart
4.4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, contracting officers shall
determine whether access to classified information may be required by a
contractor during contract performance. DoD Components shall use the DD
Form 254, ``Contract Security Classification Specification,'' as an
attachment to contracts or agreements requiring access to classified
information by U.S. contractors. The DD Form 254 is used to identify
the classified areas of information involved in a contract and the
specific items of information that require protection. The National
Industrial Security Program Contract Classification System (NCCS) is
the electronic repository for the DD Form 254. NCCS expedites the
processing and distribution of contract classification specifications
for contracts requiring access to classified information. NCCS also has
a built-in automated process for the Request for Approval to
Subcontract and provides workflow support for the Facility Clearance
Request and National Interest Determination processes.
Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
Annual Burden Hours: 28,800.
Number of Respondents: 8,000.
Responses per Respondent: 6.
Annual Responses: 48,000.
Average Burden per Response: 36 minutes.
Frequency: On occasion.
Respondents are cleared contractor facilities in the National
Industrial Security Program under the security cognizance of DCSA.
Pursuant to security classification guidance in 32 CFR part 117, NISP
contractors must provide contract security classification
specifications with any contract or agreement that they propose or
award. DD Form 254 is the official vehicle for providing this
information. A respondent submits completed DD Form 254 with any
attachments to the applicable subcontractor and to the DoD NISP
Cognizant Security Office for evaluation. Once the DD Form 254 is
submitted, it is reviewed by Government Security personnel to ensure
access language is present. Following review, Government Contracting
Officers certify and release the DD Form 254 to the Industry Commercial
and Government Entity referenced within the DD Form 254.
Dated: December 11, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
