    3. The agency form number, if any, and the applicable component of

Forms for each item in No. 2 above.
    4. Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as 
well as a brief abstract:
    Primary: Individuals.
    Individuals who are contractors for the Department of Justice or 
who are processed for access to classified information by the 
Department of Justice.
    Abstract: Self-reporting requirements set forth in the Department 
of Justice (DOJ) Policy Statement 1700.04, Department Personnel 
Security Reporting Requirements, issued April 18, 2018, apply to non-
federal employee personnel affiliated with the DOJ. The policy contains 
reporting requirements that are applicable to the entire DOJ workforce 
as well as reporting requirements that apply only to personnel 
occupying a national security position or who have access to classified 
information. The requirements relating to national security are 
mandated by the Director of National Intelligence as the Security 
Executive Agent. The majority of the reports relate to the submitter's 
personal conduct and activities. There is one form for personnel to 
submit information on other personnel, consistent with government-wide 
reporting requirements. This collection request seeks approval for 
contractors and other non-federal employees who are processed for 
access to classified information to utilize the Department's automated 
reporting system called iReport, or, for the small population with no 
access to the IT system, to utilize PDF fillable forms to report the 
required information. The Security and Emergency Planning Staff, and 
other Department Security Offices, will use the reported information to 
determine the submitter's continued fitness for employment at the 
Department of Justice or continued eligibility for access to national 
security information. The Department security offices for each agency 
component will review, evaluate, and adjudicate the information 
received.
    5. An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount of 
time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
    a. Department-wide population covered by the requirement to self-
report information in the forms listed in Sections 2a and 2b is 
estimated at 35,000. It is estimated that only three percent (1,050) 
will actually need to self-report.
    b. Department-wide population covered by the requirement to report 
information in the forms listed in Sections 2c through 2l is estimated 
to less than 500.
    c. Amount of time estimated for an average reported is less than 
ten minutes.
    6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated 
with the collection: 260 annual burden hours.

Department Clearance Officer, United States Department of Justice, 
Justice Management Division, Policy and Planning Staff, Two 
Constitution Square, 145 N Street NE, 3E.405A, Washington, DC 20530.
