The majority of the Forest Service's financial records are in databases stored at the National Finance Center (NFC). USDA DR-3140 and USDA DM-3140 require managers of computer processing operations to provide controlled access to facilities and computer resources.
There have been no program changes. Previous estimates did not have the benefit of historical usage. The estimated number of respondents has increased from 50 to 415 based on an analysis of the actual number of unique contracted employee users. Correspondingly, due to the increase in the estimated number of respondents, the burden hour estimate has increased from 75 to an estimated 600 hours.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
