SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Financial Information Security Request Form.
OMB Number: 0596-0204.
Expiration Date of Approval: 12/31/10.
Type of Request: Extension with Revision.
Abstract: The majority of the Forest Service's financial records
are in databases stored at the National Finance Center (NFC). The
Forest Service uses employees and contractors to maintain these
financial records. The employees and contractors must have access to
NFC to perform their duties.
The Forest Service uses an electronic form FS-6500-214, Financial
Information Security Request Form, to apply to NFC for access for a
specific employee or contractor. Due to program management decisions
and budget constraints, it has been determined that contractors will
need to complete and submit the form.
The contractor and the Forest Service Lotus Notes Database provide
the information necessary to complete form FS-6500-214. The contractor
verifies completion of two courses within the last year: Privacy Act
Basics and IT (Information Technology) Security. The contractor then
enters the Lotus Notes short name assigned by the Forest Service. Using
the Lotus Notes short name, the screen is populated with information
that the contractor can change if incorrect. The information includes:
name, work e-mail, work telephone number, and job title. The contractor
checks the box for a non-federal employee and provides the expiration
date of the contract. The contractor then selects the databases and
actions needed. Based on the database(s) selected, the contractor
provides additional information regarding the financial systems, work
location, access scope, etc. Once the form is submitted to the client
security officer, a one-page agreement automatically prints, which the
contractor and client security officer sign. The agreement is a
certification statement that acknowledges the contractor's recognition
of the sensitive nature of the information and agrees to use the
information only for authorized purposes. The information collected is
shared with those managing or overseeing the financial systems used by
the Forest Service; this includes auditors.
Estimate of Annual Burden: 10 minutes.
Type of Respondents: Contracted employees.
Estimated Annual Number of Respondents: 50.
Estimated Annual Number of Responses per Respondent: 3.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 150 minutes.
Comment is invited on: (1) Whether this collection of information
is necessary for the stated purposes and the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have
practical or scientific utility; (2) the accuracy of the Agency's
estimate of the burden of the collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
All comments received in response to this notice, including names
and addresses when provided, will be a matter of public record.
Comments will be summarized and included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval.
Dated: May 17, 2010.
