    Abstract: The FNS Computer System Access Request Form, FNS-674, is

Information Systems Security Policy and Procedures' Handbook 701 and 
702 developed for State systems and that they maintain proper controls 
over FNS security features used by State clients. The SISSO will over 
see completion of the FNS-674 forms and forward completed forms to the 
DRISSO.
    The DRISSOs act on behalf of FNS Headquarters Information Systems 
Security Office to ensure that Regional, Field Office, and Compliance 
Office users comply with FNS handbook security policies developed for 
the regional environment. DRISSOs will forward completed FNS-674 forms 
to the FNS Headquarters Information Systems Security Office.
    The Office of Management and Budget Circular No A-130, Appendix III 
(A) (3) Revised, dated February 8, 1996, requires that the information 
be collected.
