SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: National Language Service 

Corps (NLSC); DD Form 2932, DD Form 

2933, DD Form 2934; OMB Control 

Number 0704–0449. 

Needs and Uses: The NLSC recruits 

from the public and enrolls individuals 

who would like to volunteer their 

language skills. The NLSC identifies 

U.S. citizens who can provide high 

levels of proficiency in foreign 

languages and cultural expertise critical 

to national security for short-term 

temporary assignments when other 

resources are not available. The NLSC 

will fill gaps between requirements of 

DoD or other departments or agencies of 

the United States and available language 

skills where Government employees are 

required or desired. The NLSC will 

reach out to U.S. citizens (age 18 or 

over) who can read, listen, speak, and 

write in English and read, listen, write, 

and speak at least one other specified 

language, generally at or above skill 

level 3 as described by the proficiency 

guidelines of the Federal Interagency 

Language Roundtable (ILR). The DoD 

and the Intelligence Community 

agencies use these guidelines as the 

basis for language skill requirements 

identification, position descriptions, 

readiness indices and language bonus 

pay systems. Therefore, the ILR 

proficiency guidelines represent a 

common metric used by USG agencies 

as a basis for policy, planning and 

human capital decisions in operational, 

mission critical areas where language is 

required. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households.

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 forprofit; not-for-profit institutions.
