Abstract: This information collection is necessary so that DCSA can provide proper monitoring and oversight of companies with Foreign Ownership, Control, or Influence (FOCI), while those companies provide services on a U.S. government contract. In order to mitigate foreign ownership risks, DCSA approves the nomination of Outside Director/Proxy Holder(s) (OD/PH) for the specified company. The OD/PH will be a cleared U.S. citizen, disinterested in the company and its shareholder, who can exercise management prerogative to ensure the foreign owner is effectively insulated from controlling or influencing the management or business of the cleared company in a manner that could affect its performance on classified contracts.
