Infrastructure Security and Resilience.
Under Presidential Policy Directive 21
on Critical Infrastructure Security and
Resilience (February 2013), each sector
is assigned a Sector-Specific Agency
(SSA) to oversee Federal interaction
with the array of sector security
partners, both public and private. SSAs
are responsible for leading unified
public-private sector efforts to develop,
coordinate, and implement a
comprehensive physical, human, and
cybersecurity strategy for its assigned
sector. The Sector Outreach and
Programs Division executes the SSA
responsibilities for the six critical
infrastructure sectors assigned to IP:
Chemical; Commercial Facilities;
Critical Manufacturing; Dams;
Emergency Services; and Nuclear
Reactors, Materials, and Waste.
The mission of SOPD is to enhance
the resiliency of the Nation by leading
the unified public-private sector effort
to ensure its assigned critical
infrastructure is prepared, secure, and
safe from terrorist attacks, natural
disasters, and other incidents. To
achieve this mission, SOPD leverages
the resources and knowledge of its
critical infrastructure sectors to develop
and apply security initiatives that result
in significant benefits to the Nation.
Each SOPD branch builds sustainable
partnerships with its public and private
sector stakeholders to enable more
effective sector coordination,
information sharing, and program
development and implementation.
These partnerships are sustained
through the Sector Partnership Model,
described in the NIPP 2013, pages 10–
12.
Information sharing is a key
component of the NIPP Partnership
Model, and DHS-sponsored conferences
are one mechanism for information
sharing. To facilitate conference
planning and organization, SOPD
established an event registration tool for
use by all of its branches. The
information collection is voluntary and
is used by the SSAs within the SOPD.
The six SSAs within SOPD use this
information to register public and
private sector stakeholders for meetings
hosted by the SSA. The Sector Outreach
and Programs Division will use the
information collected to reserve space at
a meeting for the registrant, contact the
registrant with a reminder about the
event, develop meeting materials for
attendees, determine key topics of
interest, and efficiently generate
attendee and speaker nametags.
Additionally, it will allow SOPD to have
a better understanding of the
organizations participating in the
critical infrastructure protection

partnership events. By understanding
who is participating, the SSA can
identify portions of a sector that are
underrepresented, and the SSA could
then target that underrepresented sector
element through outreach and
awareness initiatives.
OMB 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. 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.
