SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-19, DHS was mandated to
develop strategies and
recommendations on how to deter,
prevent, detect, protect against, and
respond to IED explosive attacks. DHS
thus educates private sector security
providers about IED threats, including
tactics, techniques, and procedures
relevant to their usage, so private sector
security providers are knowledgeable
about terrorist use of explosives and
contribute to a layered security
approach.
The Presidential Policy Directive-17
provides guidance to update and gives
momentum to our ability to counter
threats involving improvised explosive
devices. DHS was mandated to deliver
standardized IED awareness and
familiarization training for federal, state
and local responders and public safety
personnel. The DHS CISA ISD Office for
Bombing Prevention (OBP) must collect
various information to effectively
deliver this training. Additionally, OBP
collects data to provide updated and
awareness product information
following conferences and other
outreach events. OBP describes these
collections below.
The purpose of the Volunteer
Participant Release of Liability
Agreement is to collect necessary
information in case an individual who
acts as a volunteer role player in
support of official OBP training sustains
an injury or death during the
performance of their supporting role. If
legal action is taken, this information
can serve as a hold harmless statement/
agreement by the Government. In the
unlikely event that an injury or death is
sustained in the performance of support
for training, this information will be
used by OBP to protect against legal
action by the volunteer or their family.
If legal action is taken, this information
can serve as a ‘‘hold harmless’’
statement/agreement by the
Government.

The purpose of the Gratuitous
Services Agreement is to establish that
no monies, favors or other
compensation will be given or received
by either party involved in volunteer
training. The information from the
Gratuitous Services Agreement will be
used by OBP in the event that questions
arise regarding remuneration or
payment for volunteer participation in
training events.
The purpose of the OBP Interest Signup sheet is to collect an individual’s
contact information at the training
events and conferences. This
information is used by OBP in order to
follow-up with an individual’s
questions and to provide the individual
with updated or new awareness product
information at the conclusion of
conference season as well as establish
an OBP point of contact for them.
The changes to the collection since
the previous OMB approval include:
Updating the collection name to better
reflect instruments in the collection,
adding the collecting of contact
information, an increase in burden
estimates and costs.
The addition of the Interest Sign-up
Sheet has increased the annual burden
estimate by 8 hours, which corresponds
to an annual cost of $319. It has also
increased the annual government
burden estimate by 2 hours at an annual
cost of $247.
The annual burden cost for the
existing collections (i.e., the Volunteer
Participant Release of Liability
Agreement and the Gratuitous Services
Agreement) has increased by $2,204,
from $3,894 to $6,098, due to updated
hourly compensation rates.
The annual government cost for the
existing collections (i.e., the Volunteer
Participant Release of Liability
Agreement and the Gratuitous Services
Agreement) has increased by $11,695,
from $6,831 to $18,526, due to updated
hourly compensation rates.
This is a revision and renewal of an
information collection.
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

are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Critical Infrastructure Protection Act of
2001, 42 U.S.C. 5195c, states that any
physical or virtual disruption of the
operation of the critical infrastructures
of the United States be rare, brief,
geographically limited in effect,
manageable, and minimally detrimental
to the economy, human and government
services, and national security of the
United States; and that actions
necessary to achieve the policy stated be
carried out in a public-private
partnership involving corporate and
non-governmental organizations. On
behalf of the DHS, CISA ISD manages
the Department’s program to protect the
Nation’s 16 critical infrastructure
sectors by implementing the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP)
2013, Partnering for Critical
Infrastructure Security and Resilience.
Pursuant to 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. An SSA is responsible for
leading a unified public-private sector
effort to develop, coordinate, and
implement a comprehensive physical,
human, and cyber security strategy for
its assigned sector. CISA ISD Sector
Outreach and Programs (SOP) executes
the SSA responsibilities for the six
critical infrastructure sectors assigned to

VerDate Sep<11>2014

20:48 Nov 01, 2019

Jkt 250001

ISD: Chemical, Commercial Facilities,
Critical Manufacturing, Dams,
Emergency Services, and Nuclear
Reactors, Materials and Waste (Nuclear).
The mission of SOP is to enhance the
resiliency of the Nation by leading the
unified public-private sector effort to
ensure its assigned critical
infrastructure are prepared, more
secure, and safer from terrorist attacks,
natural disasters, and other incidents.
To achieve this mission, SOP leverages
the resources and knowledge of its
critical infrastructure sectors to develop
and apply security initiatives that result
in significant, measurable benefits to the
Nation.
Each SOP 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 2013 NIPP 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, SOP has
established an online event registration
tool for use by all of its branches. The
information collection is voluntary and
is used by the SSAs within SOP. The six
SSAs within SOP uses this information
to register public and private sector
stakeholders for meetings hosted by the
SSA. The SOP uses 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 topics of most interest; and
efficiently generate attendee and
speaker nametags. Additionally, it
allows SOP 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
elements through outreach and
awareness initiatives.
The changes to the collection include:
Changes to the burden costs, annual
government costs, and adding data
fields. The registration has been
updated to add the following data fields:
Attendee ADA Specific Aids or Services
Requested (Yes/No), Attendee
Organization Company Size, Attendee
First Time Attending, Organization
Category, Attendee Organization Private
Sector Category, Public Sector Category.

The annual burden cost for the
collection has increased by $175, from
$1,627 to $1,802, due to updated
compensation rates. The annual
government cost for the collection has
decreased by $3,269, from $11,615 to
$8,347, due to reduced online
registration tool annual use fee and a
decrease in the cost per registrant from
$9.73 to $7.19 per registrant.
This is a revision and renewal of an
information collection.
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
