    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 for-profit; not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald Lucas.

    Dated: January 3, 2025.
