Analysis, has submitted the following
Information Collection Request (ICR) to
the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review and clearance in
accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13,
44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

ADDRESSES: Written comments and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Implementing Recommendations of the
9/11 Commission act of 2007 (Pub. L.
110–53) identifies the U/SIA as having
the primary Federal responsibility for
outreach and sharing threat related
information and intelligence with State,
local and tribal officials (S&L). Section
511 of the 9/11 Act with regards to
consumer feedback requires I&A to
create a voluntary mechanism for any
State, local, tribal law enforcement
officer or other emergency response
provider who is a consumer of the
intelligence or other information
products of I&A to provide feedback to
the Department on quality and utility of
such intelligence products. This is new
collection for a pilot program. I&A
Managers will use the survey results to
establish exactly who within our S&L
target audience our products are
reaching and to generally gauge and
make improvements to intelligence
products that increase customer
satisfaction and program effectiveness.
The results of the customer satisfaction
surveys will be shared with DHS HQ,
I&A, and as mandated by section 511 of
the 9/11 act presented to the Committee
on Homeland Security and
Governmental Affairs of the Senate and
the Committee on Homeland Security of
the House of Representatives.
The Office of Management and Budget
is particularly interested in comments
which:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
550 of Public Law 109–295 provides the
Department of Homeland Security with
the authority to regulate the security of
high-risk chemical facilities. Before the
enactment of section 550, the Federal
government did not have the authority
to regulate the security of most of our
nation’s chemical facilities. On April 9,
2007, the Department issued an Interim
Final Rule (IFR), implementing this
statutory mandate at 72 FR 17688.
Section 550 requires a risk-based
approach to security.
The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism
Standards (CFATS), 6 CFR part 27, are
the Department’s regulations under
section 550 governing security at highrisk chemical facilities. CFATS
represents a national-level effort to
minimize terrorism risk to such
facilities. Its design and implementation
balance maintaining economic vitality
with securing facilities and their
surrounding communities. The
regulations were designed, in
collaboration with the private sector and
other stakeholders, to take advantage of
protective measures already in place
and to allow facilities to employ a wide
range of tailored measures to satisfy the
regulations’ Risk-Based Performance
Standards (RBPS).
CFATS also establishes, in 6 CFR
27.400, the requirements that covered
persons must follow to safeguard certain
