    Needs and Uses: Executive order (E.O.) 12829, ``National Industrial 
Security Program (NISP),'' stipulates that the Secretary of Defense 
shall serve as the Executive Agent for inspecting and monitoring the 
contractors, licensees, and grantees who require or will require access 
to classified information; and for determining the eligibility for 
access to classified information of contractors, licensees, and 
grantees and their respective employees. The Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence assigned Defense Security Service (DSS) the 
responsibility for central operational management of NISP personnel 
security investigation (PSI) workload projections, and for monitoring 
of NISP PSI funding and investigations. The execution of the collection 
instrument is an essential element of DSS' ability to plan, program and 
budget for the PSI needs of NISP personnel security investigations.
    Affected Public: Cleared business or other for profit; not-for-
profit institutions under Department of Defense Security Cognizance 
approved for storage of classified materials.

the numbers and types of personnel security investigations (PSIs) 
required; a description of methodology used for the projections; and 
estimates of the numbers and types of cleared contractor's PSI 
projections that are separately attributable to DoD contracts and the 
contracts of non-DoD agencies. The data will be incorporated into DSS 
budget submissions and used to track against actual PSI submissions. 
PSI projections are collected electronically via a PSI module within 
the National Industrial Security System (NISS) which displays OMB 
approval number 0704-0417.
