The majority of the Forest Service's financial records are in databases stored at the National Finance Center (NFC). USDA DR-3140 and USDA DM-3140 require managers of computer processing operations to provide controlled access to facilities and computer resources.
There were errors in calculating the burden rate and collecting number of respondents in prior year submissions. It has been corrected with this IC. The estimated number of respondents did change from 415 to 209 due to previous years we were counting contractors who did not need access to agency financial systems to do their job. This IC renewal we only included respondents who used the FS-6500-214 Financial Information Security Request Form.
