Burden increase is due to the addition of a new form. U.S. Department of Energy Personnel Security Reporting Form (DOE F 272.2) was not originally included in the Information Collection that was approved with an expiration date of 6/30/2025. In accordance with Security Executive Agent Directive (SEAD) 3, Reporting Requirements for Personnel with Access to Classified Information or Who Hold a Sensitive Position, all covered individuals incur a special and continuing security obligation to be aware of the risks associated with foreign intelligence operations and/or possible terrorist activities directed against them in the United States and abroad. These individuals also have a responsibility to recognize and avoid personal behaviors and activities that may adversely impact their continued national security eligibility. Covered individuals shall report to their agency head or designee any planned or actual involvement in any of the activities outlined in the SEAD prior to participation in such activities or otherwise as soon as possible following the start of their involvement. The Department has a cleared population of approximately 100,000 and all are required to report on activities including arrest, foreign activities, name changes, association with foreign nationals, elicitation or attempted elicitation, mental health, unofficial foreign travel (planned and completed), contact with foreign intelligence, family residing in a sensitive country, drug/alcohol involvement, marriage/cohabitation, financial anomalies, and contact with the media. Under the Continuous Vetting Process outlined in Trusted Workforce 2.0 and SEAD 3, each Cognizant Personnel Security Office collects this information for review, investigation by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (as necessary), and adjudication to determine if a cleared individual continues to meet the requirements for holding a security clearance or a favorable access determination.
