OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE


Agency Information Collection Activities: Extension of 
Information Collection; Comment Request

AGENCY: Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: In December 2011, the ODNI accepted responsibility from the 
Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) to manage the Standard 
Form 714, Financial Disclosure Report, in accordance with the 
responsibilities assigned to the Director of National Intelligence 
(DNI) as the Security Executive Agent. The Standard Form 714 is used 
across the U.S. Government for assessing an individual's eligibility 
(or continued eligibility) for access to certain types of classified 
information. This standard form must be completed and submitted as a 
condition for access to designated classified information, along with a 
favorably adjudicated personnel security background investigation or 
reinvestigation. In accordance with the Office of Management and 
Budget's (OMB) process for Federal agency adherence to the Paperwork 
Reduction Act, this 30-day Notice is to advise of ODNI's intent to now 
submit Standard Form 714 to OMB for review and approval and to invite 
comments from the general public and other Federal Agencies. As the 
ODNI proposes no changes to Standard Form 714 and its instructions at 
this time, the ODNI is seeking to extend the current version of the 
Standard Form 714 for three additional years from its scheduled 
expiration on 31 August 2018. On 12 February 2018, the Federal Register 
published a Notice inviting the general public and other Federal 
agencies to comment on the ODNI's intent to extend the use of the 
current version of Standard Form 714 for an additional three years. The 
Notice resulted in one comment/suggestion from the general public 
related to ``ways, including the use of information technology, to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on all respondents 
to the Standard Form 714.'' ODNI responded directly to the individual 
thanking them for their suggestion and stating that ODNI will take the 
suggestion into consideration.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 20, 2018 
to be assured of consideration.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to OMB liaison to ODNI Jasmeet 
Seehra at [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or 
copies of the information collection and supporting statements should 
be directed to Ms. Patricia Gaviria, Director of the Information 
Management Division, Policy and Strategy, Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence, Washington, DC 20511; [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995 (Pub. L. 104-13), the ODNI is requesting extension in effect of 
Standard Form 714, proposing no changes to the Form and its 
instructions at this time. The ODNI invites the general public and 
other Federal agencies to comment on Standard Form 714. The comments 
and suggestions should address one or more of the following points: (a) 
Whether the proposed information collection reflected in the Standard 
Form 714 meets the intent of section 1.3 (``Financial Disclosure'') of 
Executive Order 12968, as amended (``Access to Classified 
Information''); (b) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the 
proposed information collection for Standard Form 714; (c) ways to 
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be 
collected in the Standard Form 714; (d) ways, including the use of 
information technology, to minimize the burden of the collection of 
information on all respondents to the Standard Form 714; and (e) 
whether small businesses are affected by this collection. All comments 
will become a matter of public record.
    Abstract: The National Security Act of 1947, as amended; section 
3001 of the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004; 
and Executive Order 13467, ``Reforming Processes Related to Suitability 
for Government Employment, Fitness for Contractor Employees, and 
Eligibility for Access to Classified National Security Information,'' 
as amended, authorize the DNI, as the Security Executive Agent, to 
develop standard forms, including a standard financial disclosure form, 
that promotes uniformity and consistency in the implementation of the 
Government's security programs.
    The Standard Form 714 contains information that is used to assist 
in making eligibility determinations for access to specifically 
designated

classified information pursuant to Executive Order 12968, as amended, 
``Access to Classified Information.'' The data may later be used as 
part of a review process to evaluate continued eligibility for access 
to such specifically designated classified information or as evidence 
in legal proceedings. In addition, law enforcement entities may use 
this data where pertinent to appropriate investigatory activity.
