SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Trusted Capital Digital 

Marketplace Application; OMB Control 

Number 0704–0596. 

Type of Request: Extension. 

Number of Respondents: 300. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 300. 

Average Burden per Response: 90 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 450. 

Needs and Uses: Per the authority 

vested in the Secretary of Defense 

(SECDEF) by Section 1711 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act of 

2018, the Office of the Under Secretary 

of Defense for Acquisition and 

Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) has 

proposed a ‘‘Trusted Capital’’ initiative 

in the form of a public-private 

partnership designed to convene trusted 

sources of private capital with 

innovative companies critical to the 

defense industrial base (DIB) and 

national security. The initiative 

includes establishment of a Trusted 

Capital Digital Marketplace (TCDM) to 

facilitate business relationships between 

eligible investors (‘‘Capital Providers’’) 

and eligible small and medium-sized 

businesses that have been ‘‘downselected’’ by Department of Defense 

(DoD) Components based on relevancy, 

technical merit, business viability, or 

innovativeness (‘‘Capability Providers’’). 

The COVID–19 pandemic highlighted 

the criticality of the security and 

resiliency of defense supply chains. The 

Federal emergency enabled DoD to 

accelerate initiatives to identify 

constraints and risks in our supply 

chains that were initially identified in 

the Executive Order (E.O.) 13806 report, 

which was published in 2018. One of 

the risk archetypes identified in the 

report is foreign dependency on capital 

and supply chains. Although DoD will 

always have a diverse, domestic and 

international supply chain, we 

recognize that this comes with some 

risk. COVID–19 magnified that risk and 

the difficulties of offshore sources of 

capital and supply in times of global 

emergencies. The OUSD(A&S) Trusted 

Capital program offers critical 

technology companies an alternative to 

adversarial capital. To accomplish this 

important national security mission the 

Trusted Capital program requires the 

ability to gather data required to 

conduct national security and supply 

chain due-diligence to prioritize 

‘‘trusted’’ sources of commercial capital 

to offset direct financial distress in the 

DIB and support our partners affected 

by the virus with investments and local 

job creation. Information collected will 

be used in determining an applicant’s 

eligibility for TCDM participation. 

Parties will complete an electronic 

application and be subjected to a due 

diligence screening process to assess for 

adversarial foreign ownership, 

influence, or control—as well as other 

national security risks. In the event 

additional information is necessary to 

process an application, additional 

inquiries may be sent to the applicant. 

Applicants that receive a favorable due 

diligence screening adjudication by 

OUSD(A&S) will be approved for TCDM 

participation. In addition to initial 

application requirements, participants 

will be subject to continuous reporting 

obligations. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit. 

Frequency: On occasion. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary.
