[[Page 61187]]
Needs and Uses: Executive Order 12829, ``National Industrial
Security Program'' requires the Department of Defense to account each
year for the costs associated with implementation of the National
Industrial Security Program and report those costs to the Director of
the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO). In furtherance of
this requirement, and pursuant with 32 CFR, Subpart F, section
2001.61(b); Classified National Security Information; Final Rule, the
Secretary of Defense, acting as executive agent for NISP, is obligated
to collect cost estimates for classification-related activities of
contractors, licensees, certificate holders, and grantees and report
them to ISOO annually. The cost collection methodology employed since
1996 was validated with the ISOO in December 2007. Participation in the
survey is strictly voluntary. Input is integrated into total cost
figure for the President and is never associated with a specific
facility.
Affected Public: A statistical sample of active and cleared
businesses, or other profit and non-profit organizations under
Department of Defense Security Cognizance, approved for storage of
classified materials.
Annual Burden Hours: 125 hours.
Number of Respondents: 749.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 749.
Average Burden per Response: 10 minutes.
Frequency: Annually.
Collection of this data is required to comply with the reporting
requirements of Executive Order 12829, ``National Industrial Security
Program.'' This collection of information requests the assistance of
the Facility Security Officer to provide estimates of annual security
labor cost in burdened, current year dollars and the estimated
percentage of security labor dollars to the total security costs for
the facility. Security labor is defined as personnel whose positions
exist to support operations and staff in the implementation of
government security requirements for the protection of classified
information. Guards who are required as supplemental controls are
included in security labor. This data will be incorporated into a
report produced to ISOO for the estimated cost of securing classified
information within industry. The survey will be distributed
electronically via a Web-based commercial survey tool.
Dated: October 5, 2015.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
