SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In December 2011, the ODNI accepted responsibility from the Information Security Oversight Office (ISOO) to manage the continuation in existence of Standard Form 714: Financial Disclosure Report, in accordance with the responsibilities assigned to the Director of National Intelligence as Security Executive Agent. Pursuant to the responsibilities assigned to the Director of National Intelligence as the Security Executive Agent under E.O. 13467 and the National Security Act (50 U.S.C. 3162a), the SF-714 collects information that is used to assist in making determinations regarding access to specifically designated types of classified information as specified in Section 1.3(c) of E.O. 12968. The data may also be used as a part of a review process to evaluate eligibility or continued eligibility for access to classified information or as evidence in legal proceedings. Information obtained from the SF-714 may also be used to help law enforcement and counterintelligence professionals gather pertinent information in the preliminary stages of potential espionage and/or counterterrorism cases.

As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104-106), ODNI is soliciting comments for this collection. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that:

1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and

4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
