Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection; 
Comment Request

AGENCY: National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: NARA is giving public notice that the agency proposes to 
request extension of a currently approved information collection, the 
Financial Disclosure Form, Standard Form 714, that is 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 a sensitive 
national security position. The public is invited to comment on the 
proposed information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 7, 2005 
to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to: Paperwork Reduction Act Comments 
(NHP), Room 4400, National Archives and Records Administration, 8601 
Adelphi Rd, College Park, MD 20740-6001; or faxed to 301-837-3213; or 
electronically mailed to [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the proposed information collection and supporting statement 
should be directed to Tamee Fechhelm at telephone number 301-837-1694, 
or fax number 301-837-3213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), NARA invites the general public and other 
Federal agencies to comment on proposed information collections. The 
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, including the use of 
information technology, to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on all respondents; and (e) whether small businesses are 
affected by this collection. The comments that are submitted will be 
summarized and included in the NARA request for Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) approval. All comments will become a matter of public 
record. In this notice, NARA is soliciting comments concerning the 
following information collection:
    Title: Financial Disclosure Form.
    OMB number: 3095-0058.
    Agency form number: Standard Form 714.
    Type of review: Regular.
    Affected public: Business or other for-profit.
    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 contains information that is 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 helps law enforcement obtain 
pertinent information in the preliminary stages of potential espionage 
and counter terrorism cases.
