pursuant to Executive Order 12829. The National Industrial Security 
System (NISS) is the primary collection instrument for DCSA oversight 
of the NISP and maintaining data associated with cleared facilities and

information in its possession. The information is utilized to determine 
if a company and its key management personnel are eligible for issuance 
of a facility clearance in accordance with NISPOM requirements. In 
addition, information is utilized to inform Government Contracting 
Activities (GCAs) of contractor's ability to maintain facility 
clearance status and/or storage capability as well as to analyze 
vulnerabilities identified within security programs and ensure proper 
mitigation actions are taken to preclude unauthorized disclosure of 
classified information.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit; Federal Government; 
not-for-profit institutions.
