DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Department of Defense will submit to OMB for emergency 
processing, the following proposal for collection of information under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Title and OMB Number: Personnel Security Investigation Projection 
for Industry Survey; OMB Number 0704-[To Be Determined].
    Type of Request: New Collection; Emergency processing requested 
with a shortened public comment period ending December 11, 2000. An 
approval date by December 15, 2000, has been requested.
    Number of Respondents: 242.
    Responses Per Respondents: 1.
    Annual Responses: 242.
    Average Burden Per Response: 75 minutes.
    Annual Burden Hours: 303.
    Needs and Uses: Under the National Industrial Security Program 
(NISP), the Defense Security Service (DSS) is responsible for personnel 
security clearance investigations within industry. The Defense Security 
Service has used historical data for agency budget projections.
    This collection of information is necessary to request the 
voluntary assistance of a segment of the cleared industry facilities to 
provide projections of numbers and types of personnel security 
investigations. This initial effort will serve as the prototype for an 
annual data collection from industry. This information collection will 
only address the largest cleared facilities that account for a 
significant number of the security clearances. The data would become 
part of the total clearance projections for industry to be included in 
an automated database for use with DSS budget submissions.
    Affected Public: Business or Other For-Profit.
