Number: Industry Cost Collection 

Report Survey; OMB Control Number 

0704–0458. 

Needs and Uses: Executive Order 

12829, ‘‘National Industrial Security 

Program’’ requires the Department of 

Defense to account each year for the 

costs associated with implementation of 

the National Industrial Security Program 

and report those costs to the Director of 

the Information Security Oversight 

Office (ISOO). In furtherance of this 

requirement, and pursuant with 32 CFR, 

Subpart F, section 2001.61(b); Classified 

National Security Information; Final 

Rule, the Secretary of Defense, acting as 

executive agent for NISP, is obligated to 

collect cost estimates for classificationrelated activities of contractors, 

licensees, certificate holders, and 

grantees and report them to ISOO 

annually. The cost collection 

methodology employed since 1996 was 

validated with the ISOO in December 

2007. Participation in the survey is 

strictly voluntary. Input is integrated 

into total cost figure for the President 

and is never associated with a specific 

facility. 

Affected Public: A statistical sample 

of active and cleared businesses, or 

other profit and non-profit organizations 

under Department of Defense Security 

Cognizance, approved for storage of 

classified materials. 

Annual Burden Hours: 125 hours. 

Number of Respondents: 749. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Total Annual Responses: 749. 

Average Burden per Response: 10 

minutes. 

Frequency: Annually. 

Collection of this data is required to 

comply with the reporting requirements 

of Executive Order 12829, ‘‘National 

Industrial Security Program.’’ This 

collection of information requests the 

assistance of the Facility Security 

Officer to provide estimates of annual 

security labor cost in burdened, current 

year dollars and the estimated 

percentage of security labor dollars to 

the total security costs for the facility. 

Security labor is defined as personnel 

whose positions exist to support 

operations and staff in the 

implementation of government security 

requirements for the protection of 

classified information. Guards who are 

required as supplemental controls are 

included in security labor. This data 

will be incorporated into a report 

produced to ISOO for the estimated cost 

of securing classified information 

within industry. The survey will be 

distributed electronically via a Webbased commercial survey tool.
