potential for success. In addition, in
order to achieve nationwide distribution

panel of expert judges drawn from the
private sector. The panel of judges will
select the three finalists whose pitches,

competition criteria and present the
greatest potential for success and rank
them in descending order. Finalists will
be responsible for covering their own
travel costs for the national competition.

Abstract of proposed collection: The
information collected from individuals
and organizations is specifically used to
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
conduct screening to ensure that State
funded activities do not provide support
to entities or individuals deemed to be
a risk to national security.
Methodology: The State Department
has implemented a Risk Analysis and
Management Program to vet potential
contractors and grantees seeking
funding from the Department of State to
mitigate the risk that such funds might
benefit entities or individuals who
present a national security risk. To
conduct this vetting program the
Department collects information from
contractors, sub-contractors, grantees
and sub-grantees regarding their
directors, officers and/or key employees
through mail, fax or electronic
submission. The Department published
a 30-day notice on April 23, 2015 (80 FR
22764). The Department is publishing
this additional notice to announce our
intent to collect additional information
from former civilian government and
military officials of the current Syria
regime. Concerns have been raised
regarding the possibility of the United
States Government inadvertently
funding individuals guilty of human
rights abuses. The questions we plan to
add to the information collection are
necessary to help identify the activities
and former affiliations of these
individuals. The information collected
is compared to information gathered
from commercial, public, and U.S.
government databases to determine the
risk that the applying organization,
entity or individual might use
Department funds or programs in a way
that presents a threat to national
security. This program will continue as
a pilot program as directed by Congress
in the Department of State, Foreign
Operations, and Related Programs
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Div. J, Pub. L.
113–235).
