OEC will use the information from the
SCIP Template and Annual SCIP
Snapshot to track the progress States are
making in implementing milestones and
demonstrating goals of the NECP, as
required through the Homeland Security
Act of 2002, 6 U.S.C. 572. The SCIP
Template and Annual SCIP Snapshot
will provide OEC with broader
capability data across the lanes of the
Interoperability Continuum, which are
key indicators of consistent success in
response-level communications.
In addition, the SCIP Template and
the SCIP Snapshot will assist States in
their strategic planning for interoperable
and emergency communications while
demonstrating each State’s
achievements and challenges in
accomplishing optimal interoperability
for emergency responders. Moreover,
certain government grants may require
States to update their SCIP Templates
and SCIP Snapshot to include
broadband efforts in order to receive
funding for interoperable and
emergency communications.
Statewide Interoperability
Coordinators (SWICs) will be
responsible for collecting this
information from their respective
stakeholders and governance bodies,
and will complete and submit the SCIP
Snapshots directly to OEC through
unclassified electronic submission.
The SCIP Template and Annual SCIP
Snapshot may be submitted through
unclassified electronic submission to
OEC by each State’s SWIC in addition
to being able to submit their respective
SCIP Template and Annual SCIP
Snapshot via email to [email protected].
OEC streamlined its annual SCIP
reporting process to obtain standard
data to understand progress and
challenges in emergency
communications planning. OEC
replaced the lengthier Annual Progress
Report with the SCIP Snapshot as a
reporting mechanism for States and
territories for submitting SCIP progress,
achievements and challenges. The data
collected is based on calendar year
reporting. The SCIP Snapshot also
includes sections for States and
territories to report on the status of
governance structures, progress towards
SCIP goals and initiatives, and overall
successes and challenges in advancing
interoperable emergency
communications.
This is a revised information
collection. OMB 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.
