Abstract of Proposed Collection

    The information collected from individuals and organizations is 
used to conduct screening to ensure that State funded activities do not 
provide support to entities or individuals deemed to be a risk to 
national security.
    The State Department has implemented a Risk Analysis and Management 
Program to vet potential contractors and grantees seeking funding from 
the Department of State to mitigate the risk that such funds might 
benefit entities or individuals who present a national security risk. 
To conduct this vetting program the Department collects information 
from contractors, sub-contractors, grantees and sub-grantees regarding 
their directors, officers and/or key employees. The information 
collected is compared to information gathered from commercial, public, 
and U.S. government databases to determine the risk that the applying 
organization, entity or individual might use Department funds or 
programs in a way

that presents a threat to national security. The program is currently 
operating on a pilot basis consistent with the Department of State, 
Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2018 (Div. 
K, Pub. L. 115-141).

Methodology

    The Department collects information through mail, fax, or 
electronic submission.
