The Risk Analysis Information form is a supplementary form for security screening that will be completed by organizations, entities or individuals applying for Department of State contracts, grants or other funding. Data collected includes the name, date and place of birth, gender, citizenship(s), U.S. passport or Social Security number if US citizen or Legal Permanent Resident, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and current employer and job title of each of the "key personnel" of the organization. The information will be entered into government and public databases for screening to ensure that any funds awarded will not be purposefully or inadvertently used to provide support to entities or individuals deemed to be a risk to national security. The statutes and regulations authorizing the collection of information are: 18 U.S.C. 2339A, 2339B, 2339C; 22 U.S.C.2151 et seq.; Section 559 of the FY06 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, Executive Orders 13224, 13099 and 12947; and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6.

Based on experience, the assumption is that 7000 DS-4184 forms will be submitted annually, and we estimate that none of the information forms will be submitted outside the RAM Portal. Current submission estimates are based on data gathered during previous years of the program. Based on current fiscal data including data entry, acceptance, review and evaluation of data, the total projected operating budget including labor, supplies, equipment, printing, materials, overhead, support staff, hardware, software, etc. is $2,400,000.
