SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: FOCI Outside Director/Proxy

    Needs and Uses: This information collection is necessary so that 
DCSA can provide proper monitoring and oversight of companies with 
Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), while those companies 
provide services on a U.S. government contract. In order to mitigate 
conflict of interest risks, DCSA will designate Outside Director/Proxy 
Holder(s) (OD/PH) for the specified company. The OD/PH will be a 
cleared U.S. citizen who can ensure that the foreign owner is 
effectively insulated from the company in classified matters of the 
U.S. government. The overall intent of this collection is to prevent 
foreign interests from influencing the company's performance of 
classified contracts in matters of U.S. national security.
    Affected Public: Individuals or households.
