Dear Sir or Madam,
You have been identified as the nominating official of the below named Outside Director/Proxy Holder (OD/PH)
candidate as part of a Foreign Ownership, Control or Influence (FOCI) Mitigation Agreement
(Agreement) between
, hereinafter “the Company,” and
its ultimate foreign parent company/foreign shareholder,
a/an
company.
The OD/PH is responsible for fulfilling his/her fiduciary responsibilities at the Company and ensuring that the
provisions of the Agreement are appropriately implemented. He/she is expected to maintain a proactive posture to
ensure that Company complies with the terms of the Agreement. The purpose of the Agreement is to effectively
exclude the ultimate foreign parent company/foreign shareholder (and any entities and affiliates that the ultimate
foreign parent company/foreign shareholder company controls) from unauthorized access to classified and export
controlled information; and influence over the Company’s business or management in a manner that could
adversely affect classified contract performance.
An individual appointed to fulfill an OD/PH position must meet certain criteria pursuant to the National
Industrial Security Operating Manual Rule (NISPOM Rule) 32 CFR §117.11(f):
• Be a U.S. citizen residing in the United States;
• Be capable of exercising management prerogatives relating to the OD/PH position in a way that ensures
the foreign owner can be effectively insulated from the Company;
• Be eligible for, agree to be processed for, and maintain a personnel security clearance equivalent to the level
of the Company’s facility security clearance; and
• Be a completely “disinterested” individual capable of exercising judgment independent of any influence(s)
that may prejudice his or her decision-making capability. (Note: “Disinterested” is defined as having no
prior contractual, financial, or employment relationship with the Company, its ultimate parent/foreign
shareholder, or any of its affiliates. The term extends to members of the nominee’s immediate family.)
The Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) must review and approve a nominee’s qualifications
prior to his or her appointment and DCSA requests that you provide detailed responses to the attached
questionnaire and execute the attached certificate. Responses should be of sufficient detail to enable DCSA to
determine the nominee’s eligibility to function in the position as an independent and disinterested individual.
Please direct questions and return the questionnaire and certificate to the Risk Mitigation Officer identified below.
