ACTION: Agency information collection extensions.

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) is submitting an information 
collection package to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
renewal under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The package requests 
a 3-year extension of its Security information collection (formerly 
known as Safeguards and Security), OMB Control Number 1910-1800. The 
package covers collections of information concerning the management and 
administration of DOE's Government-owned/contractor-operated facilities 
(GOCO's), offsite contractors, businesses and citizens. The information 
is used by Departmental management to exercise management oversight as 
to the implementation of applicable statutory and contractual 
requirements and obligations. The collection of this information is 
critical to ensure that the Government has sufficient information to 
judge the degree to which contractors meet contractual requirements; 
that public funds are being spent in the manner intended; and that 
fraud, waste, and abuse are immediately detected and eliminated. These 
collections provide information concerning the Department's security 
program. Typical information collected in this package pertains to 
material control and accountability, security incident investigations, 
and protection of unclassified and classified documents.

DATES: Comments regarding this information collection package should be 
submitted to the OMB Desk no later than February 6, 2003. If you 
anticipate that you will be submitting comments, but find it difficult 
to do so within the period of time allowed by this notice, you should 
advise the OMB Desk Officer of your intention to do so as soon as 
possible. The Desk Officer may be telephoned at (202) 395-3087. (Also,
