AGENCY:

The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), Science & Technology
(S&T) Directorate invites the general
public to comment on data collection
forms for the Biodefense Knowledge
Center (BKC) program. BKC is
responsible for coordinating the
collection of Life Sciences Subject
Matter Experts (SMEs) information with
the Office of the Director of National
Intelligence (ODNI), which operates
under the authority of the National
Security act of 1947, as amended by the
Intelligence Reform and Terrorism
Prevention Act of 2004. These
authorities charge the ODNI with
responsibility to coordinate and
rationalize the activities of the
Intelligence Community components.
The SME information is necessary to
understand who can provide scientific
expertise for peer review of life science
programs. In addition, the directory
makes it easier to identify scientific
specialty areas for which there is a
shortage of Subject Matter Experts
(SMEs) with appropriate security
clearances.
The DHS invites interested persons to
comment on the following form and
instructions (hereinafter ‘‘Forms
Package’’) for the S&T BKC: (1) Subject
Matter Expert Registration Form (DHS
FORM 10043 (2/08)). Interested persons
may receive a copy of the Forms
Package by contacting the DHS S&T
PRA Coordinator. This notice and
request for comments is required by the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub.
L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
information is collected via the DHS
S&T BKC secure Web site at https://
bkms.llnl.gov/sme. The BKC Web site
only employs secure web-based
technology (i.e., electronic registration
form) to collect information from users
to both reduce the burden and increase
the efficiency of this collection.
The Department is committed to
improving its information collection
and urges all interested parties to
suggest how these materials can further
reduce burden while seeking necessary
information under the Act.
DHS is particularly interested in
comments that:
(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) Suggest ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
(4) Suggest ways to 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.
