SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Financial Information Security Request Form. OMB Number: 0596–0204. Expiration Date of Approval: 12/31/ 10. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:51 May 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 Type of Request: Extension with Revision. Abstract: The majority of the Forest Service’s financial records are in databases stored at the National Finance Center (NFC). The Forest Service uses employees and contractors to maintain these financial records. The employees and contractors must have access to NFC to perform their duties. The Forest Service uses an electronic form FS–6500–214, Financial Information Security Request Form, to apply to NFC for access for a specific employee or contractor. Due to program management decisions and budget constraints, it has been determined that contractors will need to complete and submit the form. The contractor and the Forest Service Lotus Notes Database provide the information necessary to complete form FS–6500–214. The contractor verifies completion of two courses within the last year: Privacy Act Basics and IT (Information Technology) Security. The contractor then enters the Lotus Notes short name assigned by the Forest Service. Using the Lotus Notes short name, the screen is populated with information that the contractor can change if incorrect. The information includes: name, work e-mail, work telephone number, and job title. The contractor checks the box for a nonfederal employee and provides the expiration date of the contract. The contractor then selects the databases and actions needed. Based on the database(s) selected, the contractor provides additional information regarding the financial systems, work location, access scope, etc. Once the form is submitted to the client security officer, a one-page agreement automatically prints, which the contractor and client security officer sign. The agreement is a certification statement that acknowledges the contractor’s recognition of the sensitive nature of the information and agrees to use the information only for authorized purposes. The information collected is shared with those managing or overseeing the financial systems used by the Forest Service; this includes auditors. Estimate of Annual Burden: 10 minutes. Type of Respondents: Contracted employees. Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 50. PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
