Summary of Information Collection
Executive Order (EO) 12829,
‘‘National Industrial Security Program
(NISP),’’ stipulates that the Secretary of
Defense shall serve as the Executive
Agent for inspecting and monitoring the
contractors, licensees, and grantees who
require or will require access to
classified information; and for
determining the eligibility for access to
classified information of contractors,
licensees, and grantees and their
respective employees. E.O. 12829 also
authorizes the Executive Agent to issue,
after consultation with affected
agencies, standard forms that will
promote the implementation of the
NISP.
The Under Secretary of Defense for
Intelligence assigned DSS to exercise
authority and responsibility for central
operational management of DoD PSI
workload projections, and monitoring of
PSI funding and investigation quality
issues for DoD components to include
cleared contractors under the National
Industrial Security Program. In the past,
DSS has relied on historical data for
agency budget projections regarding the
numbers of PSIs required by cleared
contractor entities; however, historical
data did not provide a particularly
accurate or credible estimate of such
workload. In this annual collection of
information, DSS asks the Facility
Security Officers of cleared contractor
entities to provide projections of the
numbers and types of personnel security
investigations required as well as
providing a description of the
methodology used for the projections,
and the percentage of the cleared
contractor’s projections representing
DoD and non-DoD (NISP) agencies PSI
requirements for cleared contractors.
The data will be incorporated into DSS’
budget submissions and to track against
actual cleared contractor’s actual PSI
submissions.
The Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) has responsibility to conduct
PSIs and the subsequent periodic
reinvestigations (PRs) in accordance
with the Code of Federal Regulations,
Title 5, Part 736.
Representative of various industry
associations, the National Industrial
Security Program Policy Advisory
Committee (NISPPAC), the Military
Services, various elements of the
Department of Defense and other
Federal Government Agencies are
familiar with the annual survey.
