Proposed Project
Generic Clearance for the Collection
of Minimal Data Necessary for Case Data
During an Emergency Response—New—
Office of Public Health Data,
Surveillance, and Technology
(OPHDST), Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
During a public health emergency
response, state, tribal, local, and
territorial (STLT) health departments
and CDC need to exchange data on
confirmed, probable, and suspected
cases rapidly. Timely notifications of
cases from STLT to CDC are critical to
provide situational awareness at the
federal level to support decision
making, particularly for public health
threats that escalate quickly and cross
jurisdictions. To this end, collecting the
minimum data necessary will provide
standardization and consistency among
technical approaches and Agency-wide
processes. The harmonization across
CDC programs and STLTs will reduce
the burden on STLTs and healthcare
providers from ad hoc requests for case
data from CDC programs.
Section 319D of the Public Health
Service Act (as amended Through Pub.
L. 118–35, enacted January 19, 2024)
states that CDC shall define the
minimum data necessary as the Agency
collaborates with STLTs and other
partners to improve the appropriate near
real-time electronic transmission of
interoperable public health data for
situational awareness and response to
public health emergencies. In addition,
the CDC Advisory Committee to the
Director (ACD) recommends that CDC
should establish the minimum data
necessary for core data sources
including case data to be transmitted to
CDC from STLTs.
CDC requests a three-year approval for
a new Generic Information Collection
Request (ICR), Clearance for the
Collection of Minimal Data Necessary
for Case Data During an Emergency
Response. This new ICR includes a
request for approval for CDC to collect
the minimum data necessary for
confirmed, probable, and suspected
cases of any disease or condition that is
the subject of an emergency response.
Data may be sent to CDC by STLT
Health Departments through Data
Collation and Integration for Public
Health Event Response (DCIPHER) or
other automated or non-automated
mechanisms including but not limited
to fax, email, secure file upload, and
data entry to a secure website.
Data will be used for ongoing
situational awareness and to monitor
the occurrence and spread of the disease
or condition. Other uses may include
identifying populations or geographic
areas at high risk; planning prevention
and control programs and policies; and
allocating resources appropriately. The
data may also be used by CDC to obtain
travel histories and other information to
describe and manage outbreaks and
conduct public health follow-up to
minimize the spread of disease. The
burden estimates include the time that
states, territories, freely associated
states, and cities will incur to submit
confirmed, probable, and suspected case
data for diseases or conditions that are
the subject of an emergency response.
CDC requests OMB approval for an
estimated 10,951 annualized burden
hours for the 60 respondents. There is
no cost to respondents other than their
time to participate.

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 177 / Thursday, September 12, 2024 / Notices
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.
E.O. 12829 was amended by E.O.
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
protect classified information released
to private industry are found in
NISPOM; found in DoDI 5220.31
‘‘National Industrial Security Program
(NISP),’’ which incorporates and cancels
DoD Instruction 5220.22, ‘‘National
Industrial Security Program,’’ March 18,
2011, as amended. 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 E.O. 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.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

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).
Section 847 of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020
(Pub. L. 116–92), ‘‘Mitigating Risks
Related to Foreign Ownership, Control,
or Influence of Department of Defense
Contractors or Subcontractors,’’ 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
Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR)
Extension Act of 2022, Public Law 117–
183, section 4, ‘‘Foreign Risk
Management’’ (DoD SBIR/STTR
programs), requires the head of each
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.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profit; Not-for-profit institutions.

Security Program (NISPOM),''
[[Page 74278]]
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.
E.O. 12829 was amended by E.O. 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 protect classified information released to
private industry are found in NISPOM; found in DoDI 5220.31 ``National
Industrial Security Program (NISP),'' which incorporates and cancels
DoD Instruction 5220.22, ``National Industrial Security Program,''
March 18, 2011, as amended. 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 E.O. 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).
Section 847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2020 (Pub. L. 116-92), ``Mitigating Risks Related to Foreign
Ownership, Control, or Influence of Department of Defense Contractors
or Subcontractors,'' 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
Technology Transfer (SBIR/STTR) Extension Act of 2022, Public Law 117-
183, section 4, ``Foreign Risk Management'' (DoD SBIR/STTR programs),
requires the head of each 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 risk-based 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
