SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Partnerships between the U.S.
Government and the private sector at
times necessitate the sharing of
classified information. The Private
Sector Clearance Program (PSCP)
facilitates this sharing by sponsoring
security clearances for ‘‘appropriate
representatives of sector coordinating
counsels, sector information sharing and
analysis organizations [(ISAOs),] owners
and operators of critical infrastructure,
and any other person that the Secretary
determines appropriate.’’ 6 U.S.C. 150.
In order to begin this process of
approving an applicant to participate in
the clearance program, the applicant’s
employment information and Personally
Identifiable Information (PII) is
collected. Their association/SCC
membership or employment
information is reviewed for approval,
and their PII is input into e-QIP, the
Office of Personnel Management’s
(OPM) secure portal for investigation
processing.
The U.S. Government is authorized to
ask for this information under Sections
201 and 229 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296, 6 U.S.C.
121, 150), and Executive Orders 12968,
13526, 13549, 13636, and 13691 which
authorize the collection of this
information.
The PSCP is designed to process
security clearances for private sector

personnel who have been sponsored for
access to classified information by a
Federal Agency. In 2010, through
Executive Order 13549, the President
established the Classified National
Security Information Program
(otherwise known as the Private Sector
Clearance Program) to ‘‘safeguard and
govern access to classified national
security information shared by the
Federal Government with State, local,
tribal, and private sector (SLTPS)
entities. 75 FR 51609, 1.1 (2010). In
2013, in a subsequent Executive Order
16363, the President directed the
Secretary of Homeland Security, as
Executive Agent for PSCP, to ‘‘expedite
the processing of security clearances to
appropriate personnel employed by
critical infrastructure owners and
operators, prioritizing the critical
infrastructure identified in section 9 of
this order.’’ 78 FR 11739, 11740 4(d)
(2013). Section 9 of Executive Order
13636 refers to ‘‘critical infrastructure
where a cybersecurity incident could
reasonably result in catastrophic
regional or national effects on public
health or safety, economic security, or
national security.’’ Id. at Section 9. In
2014 and 2015, Congress codified PSCP
in section 229 of the Homeland Security
Act of 2002, authorizing the Secretary of
Homeland Security to ‘‘make available
the process of application for security
clearances under Executive Order 13549
. . . or any successor Executive Order to
appropriate representatives of sector
coordinating councils, sector
information sharing and analysis
organizations . . . , owners and
operators of critical infrastructure, and
any other persons that the Secretary
determines appropriate.’’ 6 U.S.C. 150.
Also in 2015, through Executive Order
13691, the President designated the
National Cybersecurity and
Communications Integration Center
(NCCIC) as a critical infrastructure
protection program and required the
Department to manage the sharing of
classified cybersecurity information
under this designation. E.O. 13691, 80
FR 9349 4(a) (2015); see 6 U.S.C. 132.
These partners are subject matter
experts within specific industries and
have specialized knowledge not
available within DHS. Private citizens
do not receive monetary compensation
for their time. DHS has created this
program to facilitate clearances for these
individuals who are not employed by an
agency of the Federal government or
otherwise have a contract, license or
grant with an agency of the Federal
government pursuant to E.O. 12829 (the
traditional means of obtaining a
clearance) and must have clearances.

Program changes require a revision of
the existing collection. These changes
include: Updating the title of the
collection and updates to the form itself
and reflects the potential for increased
sponsorship and associated
justifications articulated in section 229
of the Homeland Security Act of 2002
and Presidential direction through the
2013 and 2015 Executive Orders.
The form will accommodate an
increase in potential sponsorships and
be used by additional programs in the
same manner to sponsor private sector
entities and individuals for security
clearances. The additional sponsorships
and programs will increase the burden
totals by 360 responses, 60 burden
hours, and $6,155 annual burden cost.
For current programs using the form, the
burden estimates have decreased by 200
responses, 33 burden hours and $706
annual burden cost based on actual
responses received. As a result, the total
burden estimates will increase overall
by 160 responses, 27 burden hours,
$5,448 annual burden costs.
The changes to the form itself include:
Updating the title; adding a program
type field, adding justification guidance
to the back of the form, and updating
the wording of the field titles and
instructions to improve clarity. A
redlined mockup of the form changes
will be included as a supplement to this
supporting statement. The changes to
the form itself will not change the
burden estimates as the only field being
added is an open text field to
distinguish the justification for the
nomination.
The annual government cost for the
collection has increased by $91,998,
from $150,852 to $242,850, due to
updated wage rates.
This ICR was previously published at
83 FR 4670 for 60-day comment, and
NPPD is soliciting public comment for
another 30 days. 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

Termination of the Designation of
Honduras for Temporary Protected
Status
U.S. Citizenship and
Immigration Services, U.S. Department
of Homeland Security.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:

The designation of Honduras
for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is
set to expire on July 5, 2018. After
reviewing country conditions and
consulting with appropriate U.S.
Government agencies, the Secretary of
Homeland Security has determined that
because conditions in Honduras no
longer support its designation for TPS,
termination of the TPS designation of
Honduras is required by statute. To
provide time for an orderly transition,
the Secretary is terminating the
designation effective on January 5, 2020,
which is 18 months following the end
of the current designation.
Nationals of Honduras (and aliens
having no nationality who last
habitually resided in Honduras) who
have been granted TPS and would like
to maintain their TPS and receive TPSbased Employment Authorization
Documents (EAD) valid through January

Honduras designation will no longer

TPS is terminated effective at 11:59
