Needs and Uses: This information
collection requirement is necessary to
support the execution of 32 CFR part
117, ‘‘National Industrial Security
Program (NISPOM),’’ dated December
21, 2020 or equivalent. Executive Order
(E.O.) 12829, as amended, ‘‘National
Industrial Security Program (NISP)’’,
section 202 (a) stipulates that the
Secretary of Defense serves as the
Executive Agent for inspecting and
monitoring the contractors, licensees,
and grantees who require or will require
access to, or who store or will store
classified information; and for
determining eligibility for access to
classified information of contractors,
licensees, and grantees and their
respective employees. Section 202 (e)
also authorizes the Executive Agent to
issue, after consultation with affected
agencies, standard forms that will
promote the implementation of the
NISP.
Executive Order 12829 was amended
by Executive Order 13691, adding the
Secretary of Homeland Security as the
fifth Cognizant Security Agency. Section
202 (d) of E.O. 12829 stipulates that the
Secretary of Homeland security may
determine the eligibility for access to
Classified National Security Information
of contractors, licensees and grantees
and their respective employees under a
designated critical infrastructure
protection program, including parties to
agreements with such programs. The
Secretary of Homeland Security also
may inspect and monitor the
contractors, grantees or licensees and
facilities or may enter into written
agreements with the Secretary of
Defense, as Executive Agent or with the
office of the Director of Intelligence/
Director of Central Intelligence Agency
to inspect and monitor these programs
in whole or in part on behalf of the
Secretary of Homeland Security. The
specific requirements necessary to

Government Activities Relating to
Foreign Ownership, Control or
Influence (FOCI), dated April 17, 2014.
The SF 328 incorporates its usage for
the NISP portion of the Classified
Critical Infrastructure Protection
Program as stipulated under E.O. 12829,
as amended by Executive Order 13691.
Revisions to the SF 328 will also
incorporate its usage under the DoD’s
Innovation initiative through the DoD
Enhanced Security Program (DESP),
pursuant to section 951 of Public Law
114–328 (10 U.S.C. 1564 note). The
DESP is a DoD only initiative and is not
part of the NISP. Companies
participating under the DESP do not
require a DoD contract but are required
to enter into a Memorandum of
Agreement. Completion of the SF 328
and submission of supporting
documentation (e.g., company or entity
charter documents, board meeting
minutes, stock or securities information,
descriptions of organizational
structures, contracts, sales, leases and/or
loan agreements and revenue
documents, annual reports and income
statements, etc.) is part of the eligibility
determination for access to classified
information and/or issuance of an Entity
Eligibility Determination (also known as
a Facility Security Clearance).
The National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2020, Public Law
116–92, section 847, ‘‘Mitigating Risks
Related to Foreign Ownership, Control,
or Influence of Department of Defense
Contractors or Subcontractors’’ (sec.
847), requires the Secretary for Defense
to improve the process and procedures
for the assessment and mitigation of
risks related to FOCI of contractors and
subcontractors doing business with the
DoD, in conjunction with the
Departments efforts to develop and
implement an improved analytical
framework for mitigating risk relating to
ownership structure, as required by 10
U.S.C. 2509 and section 847 of Public
Law 116–92. To fulfill the requirements
of sec. 847, contractors and
subcontractors must disclose to DCSA
their beneficial ownership and whether
they are under FOCI, and to update
those disclosures when changes occur to
information previously provided
consistent with the requirements of the
NISPOM. In addition, sec. 847 provides
for the creation of other measures as
necessary to be consistent with other
relevant authorities, including the NISP.
The Small Business Innovation
Research and Small Business

Federal agency required to establish a
SBIR or STTR program to implement a
due diligence program to assess security
risks presented by small business
concerns seeking Federal awards. These
security risks includes, among other
things, foreign interested-related risks.
The DoD intends to utilize the SF 328
as the basis for information collection
for DoD SBIR/STTR program
participants to disclose their foreign
interests, and to report any future
changes, as appropriate. For DoD SBIR/
STTR, the DoD will use this form to
collect information to conduct a riskbased due diligence review and assess
security risks presented by small
business concerns seeking a federally
funded award through the DoD SBIR/
STTR programs. The submission will be
required to be submitted as part of the
SBIR/STTR solicitation package, and
details concerning its submission will
be included in the solicitation
published to perspective submitters.
The use of the SF 328 will also be
required by the forthcoming
Cybersecurity Maturity Model
Certification (CMMC) program, which is
currently in the Rulemaking process
under 32 CFR part 170. The CMMC
program will require CMMC Level 2
Certification Assessments be conducted
by a CMMC Third Party Assessment
Organization (C3PAO), accredited by
the DoD approved CMMC Accreditation
Body (AB). To be accredited, the CMMC
AB and all C3PAOs must receive a
favorable adjudication and not be
subject to a level of risk from Foreign
Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI)
as determined by the CMMC Program
Management Office (PMO). DCSA will
conduct the FOCI assessments for the
CMMC AB and C3PAOs after they are
nominated by the CMMC PMO.
The multiple authorized uses of this
form will create uniformity among
numerous authorities responsible for the
vetting or review of companies or
entities for foreign interest-related risks.
In addition, it will establish more
consistency among industry concerning
their basic information submission
requirements regarding foreign interest
information.
The submission of the SF–328, and
supporting documentation, may be done
electronically through a government
approved system of record.
