Foreign National Request Form A

The Department of Commerce (DOC) foreign access management program is designed to enable the broadest cooperation and collaboration with international partners while ensuring compliance with all applicable United States (U.S.) laws and regulations through the consistent and effective management of access by Foreign Nationals to DOC facilities, resources, and activities that are not available to the public. The DOC must balance this openness with the necessity to protect classified information, data, or technology; Controlled Unclassified Information; or otherwise controlled, proprietary, or not-for-public release data, information, or technology consistent with U.S. laws and regulations. To facilitate compliance, the Foreign National Request Form A is developed for use by DOC bureaus, staff offices, and operating units to mitigate variance in foreign access management program implementation and information collection needed to achieve risk-based determinations of physical and logical access by Foreign National visitors and guests to DOC facilities and information resources. This form has been revised to ensure that it adequately collects all information mandated by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

The latest form for Foreign National Request Form A expires 2028-07-31 and is listed under ICR 202506-0690-002.
