    Number of Respondents: 8,000.

    Needs and Uses: Pursuant to 48 CFR 27, in conjunction with subpart 
4.4 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation, contracting officers shall 
determine whether access to classified information may be required by a 
contractor during contract performance. DoD Components shall use the DD 
Form 254, ``Contract Security Classification Specification,'' as an 
attachment to contracts or agreements requiring access to classified 
information by U.S. contractors. The DD Form 254 is used to identify 
the classified areas of information involved in a contract and the 
specific items of information that require protection. The National 
Industrial Security Program Contract Classification System (NCCS) is 
the electronic repository for the DD Form 254. NCCS expedites the 
processing and distribution of contract classification specifications 
for contracts requiring access to classified information. NCCS also has 
a built-in automated process for the Request for Approval to 
Subcontract and provides workflow support for the Facility Clearance 
Request and National Interest Determination processes.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
