Jkt 220001

This process is conducted in accordance
with 5 CFR 1320.10.
ADDRESSES: Interested persons are
invited to submit written comments on
the proposed information collection to
the Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs, Office of Management and
Budget. Comments should be addressed
to OMB Desk Officer, Department of
Homeland Security and sent via
electronic mail to
[email protected] or faxed
to (202) 395–5806.
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,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
additional information is required
contact: The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Amanda Norman,
Program Analyst, DHS/NPPD/IP/IICD,
[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to
identify and assess the vulnerabilities
and risks pertaining to a specific public
assembly venue, such as a stadium or
arena, owner-operators and/or security
managers often volunteer to conduct an
R–SAT assessment. The requested
questionnaire information is necessary
in order to facilitate electronic
execution of the Commercial Facilities
Sector’s risk assessment to focus
protection resources and activities on
those assets, systems, networks, and
functions with the highest risk profiles.
Currently, there is no known data
collection that includes multiple
facilities within the Commercial
Facilities Sector. After the user logs into
the R–SAT system the user will be
prompted with the R–SAT Assessment
questionnaire and will answer various
questions to input the data. Once the
user begins the assessment, the only

information required to be submitted to
(and shared with) the U.S. Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) before
completing the assessment is venue
identification information (e.g., point-ofcontact information, address, latitude/
longitude, venue type, capacity, etc.). A
user can elect to share their entire
completed assessment with DHS, which
will protect the information as Protected
Critical Infrastructure Information
(PCII). The information from the
assessment will be used to assess the
risk of the evaluated entity (e.g.,
calculate a vulnerability score by threat,
evaluate protective/mitigation measures
relative to vulnerability, calculate a risk
score, report threats presenting highest
risks, etc.). The information will also be
combined with data from other
respondents to provide an overall sector
perspective (e.g., report additional
relevant protective/mitigation measures
for consideration, etc.).

The
Methodology Technical Implementation
(MTI) Project Office supports the 18
critical infrastructure and key resource
(CIKR) sectors by integrating risk and
vulnerability assessment methodologies
into automated tools. MTI efforts
address the unique needs and
requirements of each sector by working
with sector partners to develop tailored
solutions that enable the identification,
analysis, and management of sector
specific security risks. The MTI team
collaborates with Sector-Specific
Agencies (SSAs), Sector and
Government Coordinating Councils
(SCCs and GCCs), and divisions within
the Department of Homeland Security’s
Office of Infrastructure Protection. The
MTI team also works with sector
specialists, risk analysts, private sector
individuals, and Federal agency
representatives. Efficient and effective
use of the MTI tools helps all CIKR
sectors nationwide reach their goal of
making their sectors safer and provides
a way to comply with recommendations
in the National Infrastructure Protection
Plan (NIPP). To ensure that interested
stakeholders achieve this mission, MTI
requests opinions and information from
users of the tool regarding tool functions
and improvements. The MTI Project
Office is administered out of the
Infrastructure Information Collection
Division (IICD) in the Office of
Infrastructure Protection (IP). The
survey data collected is for internal
MTI, IICD and IP use only. The MTI
Project Office will use the results of the
Functional Survey to determine levels
of customer satisfaction with the MTI
tools and prioritize future
improvements of key tool functions. The
results will also allow the program to
appropriate funds cost-effectively based
on user need, and cost savings while
improving the tool.
