National Intelligence, Office of the National Director 2013 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA) was signed into law on 27 November 2012 (Pub. L. 112-199). The law strengthens the protections for federal employees who disclose evidence of waste, fraud, or abuse. In addition, the WPEA modifies rules on the use of nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements by government agencies. Agencies are required to update any nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements to conform to the new requirements in the WPEA. Accordingly, ODNI is hereby giving public notice that Section 10 of Standard Form 312: Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement, is being updated as described in the Supplementary Information section of this notice.

In December 2011, the ODNI accepted responsibility from the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) for the maintenance of Standard Form 312: Classified Information Nondisclosure Agreement; Standard Form 713: Consent For Access to Records; and Standard Form 714: Financial Disclosure Report, which are directly related to responsibilities assigned to the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) as Security Executive Agent. Accordingly, ODNI is giving public notice regarding extension of the currently approved information collection, Financial Disclosure Report, Standard Form 714, which candidates for national security clearance must submit as a condition of access to specifically designated classified information along with a favorably adjudicated personnel security background investigation or reinvestigation that results in the granting or updating of a security clearance. ODNI is proposing no changes to the Standard Form 714 and its instructions at this time. The public is invited to comment on the information collection pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
