I. General: The data reported will be Government cost estimates only. The estimates of resource costs should be
reported, in the aggregate, for the following categories: (1) Personnel Security; (2) Physical Security; (3) Classification
Management; (4) Declassification; (5) Protection and Maintenance for Classified information Systems; (6) Operations
Security and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures; (7) Professional Education, Training, and Awareness; (8)
Security Management, Oversight, and Planning; and (9) Unique Items. In reporting cost estimates associated with the
security and management of classified information, please exclude all costs related to broad areas of assets protection
(i.e., protection of property and personnel not specifically related to classified information). Counterintelligence*
resources should also not be included in this data collection. If 51% or more of a resource is devoted to a classification-
related activity, it should be included in this estimate. For those resources used for classification-related activities on a
part-time basis, the total time devoted to these activities over a year must be at least 51% in order to be included in this
estimate. Even though we no longer ask for the number of FTEs, the cost of personnel associated with the security of
classified information should be included in the overall cost estimate for each category.
II. Definitions of data to be reported: The primary categories are defined below along with related functional areas to
be considered for inclusion. Report only those cost estimates associated with classification-related activities
(programs that affect the security of classified information).
1. Personnel Security: A series of interlocking and mutually supporting program elements that initially establish a
Government or contractor employee's eligibility, and ensure suitability for the continued access to classified
information.
Clearance Program: Personnel and activities to determine eligibility and suitability for initial or continuing
access to classified information or activities.
Initial Investigations: Completing and reviewing Personnel Security Questionnaire, initial screening, filing data
in Central Personnel Database, forwarding to appropriate investigative authority, and the investigation itself.

Adjudication: Screening and analysis of personnel security cases for determining eligibility for classified
access authorizations and appeals process.
Reinvestigations: Periodic recurring investigations of Government and contractor personnel.
Polygraph: Substantive examinations in security screening process.
2. Physical Security: That portion of security concerned with physical measures designed to safeguard and protect
classified facilities and information, domestic or foreign.
Physical Security Equipment: Any item, device, or system that is used primarily for the protection of classified
information and installations.
Protective Forces: All personnel and operating costs associated with protective forces used to safeguard
classified information or installations, to include but not limited to salaries, overtime, benefits, materials and
supplies, equipment and facilities, vehicles, aircraft, training, communications equipment, and management.
Intrusion Detection and Assessment: Alarms, sensors, protective lighting, and their control systems; and the
assessment of the reliability, accuracy, timeliness, and effectiveness of those systems used to safeguard
classified information or installations.
Barrier/Controls: Walls, fences, barricades, or other fabricated or natural impediments to restrict, limit, delay,
or deny entry into a classified installation.
* Counterintelligence means information gathered and activities conducted to protect against espionage, other
intelligence activities, sabotage, or assassinations conducted for or on behalf of foreign powers, organizations or persons
or international terrorist activities, but not including personnel, physical, document, or communications security programs.

control, or influence program; evaluation of FOCI submissions; the administration and monitoring of FOCI
information and development of FOCI notifications.
9. Unique Items: Those department/agency-specific activities that are not reported in any of the primary categories
but are nonetheless significant, and need to be included, should be noted in this category. Any unique item must
include a narrative on why it should be included and how the figures were developed.
Ill. How to complete the security costs estimates form. The form (page 1) should include estimates of resource costs
in the aggregate for each of the nine categories. The cost estimates reported should not include costs associated with
the broader area of assets protection.
1. Name of Department/Agency: Self-explanatory.
2. Reporting Categories: List cost estimates in dollar amounts. The cost of personnel associated with the security
of classified information should be included in the overall cost estimate for each category. If there are no cost
estimates to be reported for a particular category, indicate with a "0" in the appropriate block.
3. Totals: The totals for blocks 1-9 will automatically be placed in the appropriate block.
4. Narrative: In the narrative portion of the form, or in a separate attachment, provide a brief explanation of how cost
estimates were determined. If there is a significant difference between the total figures for each fiscal year, explain
the differences. Any figure reported within the Unique Items category should be clearly explained in the narrative
portion.
