DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Office of the Secretary, Office of Security; Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request; Foreign National Request Form

    The Department of Commerce will submit to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for collection of 
information under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 
U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: Office of the Secretary, Office of Security (OSY), 
Commerce.
    Title: Foreign National Request Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0690-0033.
    Form Number(s): 207-12-1.
    Type of Request: Regular (extension of a currently approved 
information collection).
    Number of Respondents: 12,000.
    Average Hours per Response: 15 minutes.
    Burden Hours: 3,000.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.
    Needs and Uses: The Office of Security is requesting clearance of 
this collection to gather information to mitigate variances in foreign 
access management program implementation and registration information 
requirements needed to reach risk-based determinations of physical and 
logical access by foreign national visitors and guests to Commerce 
facilities and resources. The information collected will be used for 
risk-based assessments of short-term access or as partial completion 
towards long term guest research agreements and supporting security and 
background investigations for potential personal identity credential 
issuance in compliance with U.S. laws and regulations governing 
physical and logical access to federal facilities and information 
resources. Due to the increasing diversity of foreign national 
participation in departmental programs, considerable efforts have been 
made to baseline requirements as a means to define uniform program 
standards as well as to expand current guidance beyond foreign visitor 
control to manage emerging risks associated with physical and logical 
access to the Department' s facilities and resources.
