Abstract: Self-reporting requirements set forth in the Department

[[Page 54143]]
position or who have access to classified information. The requirements
relating to national security are mandated by the Director of National
Intelligence as the Security Executive Agent. The majority of the
reports relate to the submitter's personal conduct and activities.
There is one form for personnel to submit information on other
personnel, consistent with government-wide reporting requirements. This
collection request seeks approval for contractors and other non-federal
employees who are processed for access to classified information to
utilize the Department's automated reporting system called iReport, or,
for the small population with no access to the IT system, to utilize
PDF fillable forms to report the required information. The Security and
Emergency Planning Staff, and other Department Security Offices, will
use the reported information to determine the submitter's continued
fitness for employment at the Department of Justice or continued
eligibility for access to national security information. The Department
security offices for each agency component will review, evaluate, and
adjudicate the information received.
5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of
time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
a. Department-wide population covered by the requirement to self-
report information in the forms listed in Sections 2a and 2b is
estimated at 35,000. It is estimated that only three percent (1,050)
will actually need to self-report.
b. Department-wide population covered by the requirement to report
information in the forms listed in Sections 2c through 2l is estimated
to less than 500.
c. Amount of time estimated for an average reported is less than
ten minutes.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: 260 annual burden hours.
