SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Abstract

    Opportunities to bid for contracts under the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) Security Investment Program (NSIP) are only open to 
firms of member NATO countries. NSIP procedures for international 
competitive bidding (AC/4-D/2261) require that each NATO country 
certify that their respective firms are eligible to bid on such 
contracts. This is done through the issuance of a ``Declaration of 
Eligibility.'' The U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and 
Security (BIS) is the executive agency responsible for certifying U.S. 
firms. The BIS-4023P is the application form used to collect 
information needed to ascertain the eligibility of a U.S. firm. BIS 
will review applications for completeness and accuracy, and determine a 
company's eligibility based on its financial viability, technical 
capability, and security clearances with the U.S. Department of 
Defense.

II. Method of Collection

    Submitted electronically or on paper.
