The Risk Analysis Information form is a supplementary form for security screening that will be completed by organizations, entities or individuals applying for Department of State contracts, grants or other funding. Data collected includes the name, date and place of birth, gender, citizenship(s), U.S. passport or Social Security number if US citizen or Legal Permanent Resident, address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail address, and current employer and job title of each of the "key personnel" of the organization.

The statutes and regulations authorizing the collection of information are: 18 U.S.C. 2339A, 2339B, 2339C; 22 U.S.C.2151 et seq.; Section 559 of the FY06 Foreign Operations Appropriations Act, Executive Orders 13224, 13099 and 12947; and Homeland Security Presidential Directive 6.
