Abstract: This information collection is necessary so that DCSA can provide proper monitoring and oversight of companies with Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), while those companies provide services on a U.S. government contract. In order to mitigate foreign ownership risks, DCSA approves the nomination of Outside Director/Proxy Holder(s) (OD/PH) for the specified company. The OD/PH will be a cleared U.S. citizen, disinterested in the company and its shareholder, who can exercise management prerogative to ensure the foreign owner is effectively insulated from controlling or influencing the management or business of the cleared company in a manner that could affect its performance on classified contracts.

Burden Increase Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The average hourly wage for respondents has increased due to inflation and cost of living adjustments. This resulted in an increase in the labor burden per response, even though the response time remains unchanged. The number of respondents has increased to commensurate with the expansion and growth of the National Industrial Security Program. This expansion reflects increased government contracting activity, new security requirements, and expansion of cleared facilities. This expansion has led to a corresponding increase in the total number of Outside Director/Proxy Holder Nominee and Nominating Official Packages processed annually, directly contributing to the overall increase in burden hours.
