Forest Service

    Title: Financial Information Security Request Form.
    OMB Control Number: 0596-0204.
    Summary of Collection: The majority of Forest Service's (FS) 
financial records are in databases stored at the National Finance 
Center (NFC). The Federal Information Security Reform Act of 2002 (Pub. 
L. 107-347) and Information Technology Management Reform Act of 1996 
(Pub. L. 104-106) authorize the Forest Service to obtain information 
necessary for contracted employees to access and maintain these 
records.
    Need and Use of the Information: The Forest Service uses a paper 
and electronic version of its form FS-6500-214 to gather name, work 
email, work telephone number, job title etc. for a specific contracted 
employee to apply to NFC for access. Prior to filling out the firm, 
contractors must first complete specific training before a user may 
request access to certain financial systems. NFC grants access to users 
only at the request of Client Security Officers. The unit's Client 
Security Officer is responsible for management of access to computers 
and coordinates all requests for NFC. The information collected is 
shared with those managing or overseeing the financial systems used by 
the FS, this includes auditors.
    Description of Respondents: Contracted Employees.
    Number of Respondents: 209.
    Frequency of Reponses: Reporting: Yearly.
    Total Burden Hours: 315.
