SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of

Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. NARA 
published a notice of proposed collection for this information 
collection on June 10, 2003 (68 FR 34653 and 34654). No comments were 
received. NARA has submitted the described information collection to 
OMB for approval.
    In response to this notice, comments and suggestions should address 
one or more of the following points: (a) Whether the proposed 
information collection is necessary for the proper performance of the 
functions of NARA; (b) the accuracy of NARA's estimate of the burden of 
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways 
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including the use of information technology. In this notice, NARA is 
soliciting comments concerning the following information collection:
    Title: Financial Disclosure Form.
    OMB number: 3095-NEW.
    Agency form number: Standard Form NEW.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Business or other for-profit, Federal government.
    Estimated number of respondents: 25,897.
    Estimated time per response: 2 hours.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 51,794 hours.
    Abstract: Executive Order 12958 as amended, ``Classified National 
Security Information'' authorizes the Information Security Oversight 
Office to develop standard forms that promote the implementation of the 
Government's security classification program. These forms promote 
consistency and uniformity in the protection of classified information.
    The Financial Disclosure Form will contain information that will be 
used to make personnel security determinations, including whether to 
grant a security clearance; to allow access to classified information, 
sensitive areas, and equipment; or to permit assignment to sensitive 
national security positions. The data may later be used as a part of a 
review process to evaluate continued eligibility for access to 
classified information or as evidence in legal proceedings.
    The Financial Disclosure Form will help law enforcement obtain 
pertinent information in the preliminary stages of potential espionage 
and counter terrorism cases. The Policy Coordinating Committee on 
Records Access and Information Security forwarded the current form to 
the Information Security Oversight Office for issuance. The Office of 
Management and Budget is aware of the form.

    Dated: August 14, 2003.

Assistant Archivist for Human Resources and Information Services.
