Proposed Information Collection; 

Comment Request 

AGENCY: Corporation for National and 

Community Service. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Corporation for National 

and Community Service (CNCS), as part 

of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a pre-clearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3506(c)(2)(A)). 

This program helps to ensure that 

requested data can be provided in the 

desired format, reporting burden (time 

and financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirement on respondents can be 

properly assessed. 

Currently, CNCS is soliciting 

comments concerning its proposed 

renewal of the President’s Higher 

Education Community Service Honor 

Roll. The President’s Higher Education 

Community Service Honor Roll 

recognizes higher education institutions 

that reflect the values of exemplary 

community service and achieve 

meaningful outcomes in their 

communities. The Honor Roll is part of 

the Corporation for National and 

Community Service’s strategic 

commitment to engage millions of 

college students in service and celebrate 

the critical role of higher education in 

strengthening communities. This 

information collection does not result in 

grant funding from the Corporation for 

National and Community Service or 

other federal agencies. 

Copies of the information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed in the Addresses section 

of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CNCS is 

particularly interested in comments 

that: 

• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of CNCS, including whether 

the information will have practical 

utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and 

• Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who 

are expected to respond, including the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology 

(e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses).

electronically by accredited institutions 

of higher education through the

information collection. The revised 

collection consists of questions not only

The information collection will 

otherwise be used in the same manner 

as the existing application. The current 

application is due to expire on 

September 30, 2013 and may not be 

used for a 2014 application.

Title, Associated Form, and OMB 

Number: Technology and Contract 

Information Survey; OMB Control 

Number: 0704–TBD. 

Needs and Uses: Executive Order 

12829, ‘‘National Industrial Security 

Program (NISP)’’, (January 6, 1993, as 

amended), established the NISP, the 

purpose of which is to ‘‘safeguard 

classified information that may be 

released or has been released to current, 

prospective, or former contractors, 

licensees, or grantees of United States 

agencies.’’ Pursuant to paragraph 202(a) 

of the Executive Order, the Secretary of 

Defense serves as the ‘‘executive agent 

for inspecting and monitoring the 

contractors, licensees, and grantees who 

require or will require access to, or who 

store, or will store, classified 

information; and for determining the 

eligibility for access to classified 

information of contractors, licensees, 

and grantees and their respective 

employees.’’ 

The DSS Director has been assigned 

specific responsibility for administering 

the NISP on behalf of DoD components 

and those Executive Branch 

departments and agencies that have 

entered into agreements with the 

Secretary of Defense for industrial 

security services required for 

safeguarding classified information 

disclosed to industry by these DoD 

components and Executive Branch 

departments or agencies (collectively 

referred to hereafter as Government 

Contracting Activities (GCAs). (See DoD 

Directive 5105.42, ‘‘Defense Security 

Service,’’ and DoD Instruction 5220.22, 

‘‘National Industrial Security Program.’’ 

DSS carries out its NISP 

administration mission in part by 

assessing the security posture of cleared 

contractor facilities in order to 

determine if the cleared facilities are 

complying with the provisions of the 

National Industrial Security Program 

Operating Manual (NISPOM) and by 

verifying that cleared contractors 

mitigate and ensuring identified 

security vulnerabilities. 

This public information collection is 

focused on strengthening DSS analysis 

of threats to classified information and 

cleared personnel at cleared contractor 

facilities by ensuring the accuracy of 

contract, technology, program, and 

facility data in the DSS Industrial 

Security Facilities Database (ISFD). DSS 

will be able to more effectively and 

efficiently perform its NISP 

administration mission if DSS can 

analyze accurate information in ISFD. In 

turn, this will allow DSS to better tailor 

vulnerability assessments and other 

products and support for cleared 

facilities. 

Responding to this public information 

collection is voluntary. This collection 

of information does not seek classified 

information or trade secrets. 

Respondents will be requested to state 

whether any information provided in 

response to this information collection 

is privileged or confidential commercial 

or financial information. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit and non-profit organizations 

participating in the NISP and who are 

under the security cognizance of DSS. 

Annual Burden Hours: 4,514 

Number of Respondents: 13,541 

Responses per Respondent: 1 

Average Burden Hours per Response: 

20 minutes 

Frequency: Occasionally. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Summary of Information Collection: 

This collection of information 

requests the Facility Security Officer or 

Senior Management Official at each of 

the 13,541 cleared facilities operating 

under the NISP to provide information 

about the facility; the number of cleared 

personnel at the facility; the facility’s 

contracts requiring access to classified 

information; and technology supporting 

those contracts. DSS will maintain the 

information provided in response to this 

collection of information in the DSS 

ISFD for internal use in connection with 

performing missions assigned to DSS. 

One information collection effort will be 

conducted initially. After the initial 

survey, DSS will query facilities 

individually on a yearly or biennial 

basis, prior to annual vulnerability 

assessments, so that accurate 

information is continually maintained 

in ISFD. Responses to the collection are 

strictly voluntary. The objective of this 

initiative is to establish accurate and 

current information in ISFD. This is a 

new survey that has not been 

implemented in the past. All of the 

collection questions are uniform and 

this collection of information is unique 

to the type of product or service that is 

being requested. Information technology 

has been identified as appropriate for 

the purposes of this collection. DSS will 

send an email invitation to complete the 

web-based survey instrument directly to 

a designated point of contact for each 

cleared facility operating under the 

NISP. The email invitation will include 

a secure link to access and complete the 

online information collection. DSS will 

be the user of the data collected from 

the Technology and Contract 

Information Survey.
