QUESTIONNAIRE

PRIVACY ACT NOTICE
Authority:
Title XIX of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Section 1902(a)(2), codified at 6 U.S.C. 592(a)(2).
Purpose:
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) has
responsibility to “enhance and coordinate the nuclear detection efforts of federal, state, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector to ensure a managed, coordinated response.” The Regional Equipment and
Capabilities Exchange (RECE) seeks to collect and warehouse relevant data for federal, state, tribal, territorial,
and local (FSTTL) authorities to minimize gaps and unintended overlaps in roles and responsibilities for
radiological or nuclear (R/N) detection capabilities. RECE is collecting contact information in order to distribute it
to necessary points of contact (POCs), and to perform various administrative tasks. DHS will use this information
to provide authorized individuals access to or interaction with the Joint Analysis Center Collaborative Information
System (JACCIS).
Routine Uses:
In general, DHS will use this information to distribute contact information to relevant POCs, provide authorized
individuals access to JACCIS, and perform various administrative tasks. DHS may share this information on a
case-by-case basis as required by law, or necessary for a specific purpose as described in the DHS/ALL–002
Department of Homeland Security General Mailing Lists and Other Lists System of Records Notice (73 FR
71659), which is available online at www.dhs.gov/privacy.
Disclosure:
Furnishing this information is voluntary; however, failure to furnish the requested information may prevent a user
from contributing radiological or nuclear detection information to RECE. This could cause a hindrance when
attempting to allocate resources during a global nuclear detection architecture related threat incident.

PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT
The public reporting burden to complete this information collection is estimated at 1 hour per response, including
the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed,
and the completing and reviewing the collected information. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control
number and expiration date. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection
of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden to DHS DNDO Joint Analysis Center,
[email protected], 1-877-363-6522, ATTN: PRA [1601-NEW].

RECE QUESTIONNAIRE DIRECTIVES
Purpose:
This document provides guidance for providing information related to the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture
(GNDA), to support the Regional Equipment & Capabilities Exchange (RECE). The purpose of the RECE is to
collect and warehouse relevant data for federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local (FSTTL) authorities to minimize
gaps and unintended overlaps in roles and responsibilities for radiological or nuclear (R/N) detection capabilities.
The RECE aims to aid in enhancing the effective sharing and employment of nuclear detection related
information. The primary purpose of the subsequent form is to collect data on current stakeholder inventories and
resources to streamline access to a real-time depiction of R/N Detection (RND) capabilities.
DNDO recognizes the important role that state, territorial, tribal and local governments play in the prevention and
protection of its residents, visitors, economy, infrastructure, and natural resources against terrorism and the
threat posed by unauthorized R/N materials. As such, DNDO is interested in assisting stakeholders in the
development of state-/territory-wide Radiological Nuclear Detection (RND) programs. Such programs would
support the State’s/Territory’s Homeland Security Strategy by helping to prevent and protect against R/N threats,
while also supporting the overarching national RND strategy to enhance the Global Nuclear Detection
Architecture (GNDA) and detect, disrupt, and prevent terrorists from accomplishing their goals.
In support of our nation’s joint mission and goals, DHS and DNDO offer federally funded RND program
development, planning, operations support, information/intelligence sharing, RND equipment surge capabilities,
workshops and training, and exercises. This data collection initiative and assessment will assist us all in
determining gaps in the GNDA and the RND program needs of our state, territorial, tribal and local partners in
homeland security. Data collected will be available via the Joint Analysis Center Collaborative Information
System (JACCIS). For more information on submitting your form through JACCIS or to request an account
application contact [email protected].
Guidance:
Subsequent pages provide a fillable form focusing on the specific information sought. Please describe your
respective radiological or nuclear detection program plans, assets, and status of equipment.
Please add any new programs, or projects, to reflect the most up-to-date information. Please include any and all
available information requested within the form, and fill out all relevant form fields. Lastly, please use only official
business contact information and do not use personally identifiable information in the free-text boxes or otherwise
in this form.

QUESTIONNAIRE DEFINITIONS
The following list of definitions pertains to terms and references within the context of the subsequent form under
the Jurisdictional-Level R/N Capabilities Gap Determination section.
Technical Reachback (TRB) capability: An essential component of the USG’s nuclear and radiological alarm
adjudication and resolution process. TRB provides 24/7 technical capability to facilitate radiation detection alarm
resolution and provide detailed analysis of data from the deployed architecture.
The following list of definitions pertains to terms and references within the context of the subsequent form under
the Equipment Inventory section.
Asset Type: Select from the drop-down list the applicable R/N detection device or system: Alarming Personal
Radiation Detectors (PRDs), Backpack Style Radiation Portal Monitor (RPM), Survey meters, Communications
Device, Portable Radiation Scanner, Radioisotope Identification Device (RIIDs), Spectroscopic Personal
Radiation Detectors (PRDs), Spectroscopic Radiation Portal Monitors (RPM). Note: this does not include any
consequence management equipment.
Mobility: Identify whether or not a R/N detection device is capable of being moved, relocated or if it is considered
a fixed site (yes/no).
Location: Depending on the mobility of the device, the location can reference a street address for the POC or
responsible party for the device, or if possible provide a geographic coordinate, such as the latitude and
longitude.
Equipment: If available, provide additional information related to the R/N detection equipment referenced in this
row, examples include but are not limited to: Manufacturer/Model/Serial Number.
The following list of definition pertains to terms and references within the context of the subsequent form under
the Training & Exercises section.
Hours: Provide total number of hours related to training or exercises referenced in this row.
