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.
