FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: To request more information on this

call the Program Integration Office at (571)-305-6243.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Department of Defense 
National Industrial Security Program (NISP) Contractor Classification 
System; DD Form 254; OMB Control Number 0704-0567.
    Needs and Uses: This collection is a revision to the collection 
under OMB Control Number 0704-0567 (DD254) approved in November 2017. 
Pursuant to 48 CFR, part 27, in conjunction with subpart 4.4 of the 
Federal Acquisition Regulation, contracting officers shall determine 
whether access to classified information may be required by a 
contractor during contract performance. When access to classified 
information is required, DoD Components shall use the ``Contract 
Security Classification Specification,'' DD Form 254, as an attachment 
to contracts or agreements requiring access to classified information 
by U.S. contractors. The NISP Contract Classification System (NCCS) 
will be the new electronic repository for the DD254. It will expedite 
the processing and distribution of contract classification 
specifications for contracts requiring access to classified 
information. NCCS will also provide for workflow processes to share 
data for: the Facility Clearance Request (FCL), the Request for 
Approval to Subcontract, and National Interest Determination (NID) 
which are already approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
control number 0704-0571 for the National Industrial Security System 
(NISS). Respondents can register for and request access to NCCS at: 
https://wawf.eb.mil/.
    Affected Public: Business or other for profit.
    Annual Burden Hours: 37,461.67.
    Number of Respondents: 3,211.
    Responses per Respondent: 10.
    Annual Responses: 32,110.
    Average Burden per Response: 70 minutes.
    Frequency: On Occasion.
    The DD Form 254 is used to identify the classified areas of 
information involved in a contract and to identify the specific items 
of information that require protection. DoD Components, non-DoD 
agencies with formal agreements with DoD for industrial security 
services, or U.S. contractors under DoD security cognizance in the 
NISP, provide guidance in the body of the DD Form 254 or its 
attachments for contracts or other agreements requiring access to 
classified information.
    The respondent is a cleared contractor facility in the NISP under 
the security cognizance of the Defense Security Service (DSS). Pursuant 
to security classification guidance of the NISPOM, DoD 5220.22-M, the 
NISP contractors must provide contract security classification 
specifications with any contract or agreement that they propose or 
award. DD Form 254 is the official vehicle for providing this 
information.
    A respondent submits completed DD Forms 254 with any attachments to 
the applicable subcontractor and to the DoD NISP Cognizant Security 
Office (i.e., DSS) for evaluation. In the event that the Government 
Contracting Activity (GCAs) is a foreign government or an activity of 
the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a security aspects letter 
serves as the equivalent of a DD Form 254 to provide security 
classification guidance. Both U.S. Government and contractor 
respondents will be required to electronically complete and submit the 
DD Form 254 with attachments through the NISP Contracts Classification 
System (NCCS). Those USG respondents that have a legacy electronic 254 
system and will have to interface their data into NCCS, in coordination 
with DoD.
