The Department of Defense each year accounts for the costs associated with implementation of the National Industrial Security Program and reports those costs to the Director of the Information Security Oversight Office. The Defense Security Service is obligated to collect cost estimates for classification-related activities of contractors, licensees, certificate holders, and grantees.

The burden time for each respondent to complete this data collection has remained the same (30 minutes) since the last time this collection was approved in 2016. The number of respondents has increased slightly (~ 1,150). Therefore the total burden hours have slightly increased, and the associated costs have also increased based on an increase in labor costs from 2016 to 2020.
