SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Partnerships between the U.S.
Government and the state, local tribal
and private sector at times necessitate
the sharing of classified information.
The State, Local, Tribal and Private
Sector (SLTPS) Clearance Request Form
facilitates this sharing by sponsoring
security clearances for certain members
of each sector based on either their
membership on a Sector Coordinating
Council (SCC)/association or their
infrastructure protection job-related
duties and their need-to-know. The
SLTPS is designed to sponsor security
clearances for state, local, tribal and
private sector officials involved in the
infrastructure protection mission. These
partners are subject matter experts
within specific industries and have
specialized knowledge not available
within the Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) and other Federal
Departments or Agencies. Private
citizens do not receive monetary
compensation for their time. CISA
created this program to sponsor
clearances for these individuals who are
not employed by or contracted with
another Federal agency (the traditional
means of obtaining a clearance) and
must have clearances.
The Cyber Information Sharing and
Collaboration Agreement (CISCA) and
Classified Critical Infrastructure
Protection Program (CCIPP) nominees
will also use the form in the same
manner as the SLTPS. The form updates
will include adding State and Local,
CISCA and CCIPP to the drop-down
capabilities. Type of submission will
have a dropdown capability added.
Subsectors will be added to some of the
Sectors. A generic approving signature
title will be added.
CISA collects necessary information
through 1670–0013 to facilitate security
clearances needed for sharing classified
information with the vetted SLTPS
Stakeholders. The U.S. Government is
authorized to ask for this information
under sections 201 and 229 of the
Homeland Security Act (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.
In order to begin this process of
adjudicating a nominee to participate in
the clearance program, federal
nominators will complete the DHS Form
9014, State, Local, Tribal and Private
Sector Clearance Request Form,
excluding their date of birth, place of
birth and social security number. The

federal nominator will sign the form and
have it approved by a senior-level
official from the corresponding Federal
Department or Agency. Before being
submitted to the CISA Office of the
Chief Security Officer (OCSO) SLTPS
Administrator via the CISA Action Task
Tracker (CATT), the nominee would
have been deemed to have a CISA
mission and meet the requirements and
criteria as outlined in Executive Order
(E.O.) 13549, the Department of
Homeland Security, Classified National
Security Information Program for SLTPS
Implementing Directive and E.O. 13691,
sec. 4(c), and 32 CFR part 117, sec.
117.22 of the National Industrial
Security Program Operating Manual
(NISPOM). The SLTPS Administrator
will extract the application from the
electronic tracking system and will
capture first and last name, clearance
level being requested, sector or
subsector they are involved in,
company, job title, city and state the
company is located, work and personal
email and work phone number. This
information is entered into a SharePoint
system in order to track the clearance
process and to provide a real-time status
of a nominee [and Stakeholders] to
federal nominators and DHS employees
who have a need to know. The OCSO
Security Specialist is informed that the
nominee is ready to start the clearance
process and the Personally Identifiable
Information (PII) is requested and input
into the Electronic Questionnaires for
Investigations Processing (e-QIP)
system, the Office of Personnel
Management’s (OPM) secure portal for
investigation processing. Once the data
is entered into e-QIP, the nominee is
provided a password and can access the
system and complete the online security
questionnaire.
This information is only available to
Security Specialists within OCSO
working on the program and is
maintained in the Integrated Security
Management System (ISMS), which is
‘‘owned’’ by the OCSO. The two-part PII
request process helps minimize the
collection of sensitive PII for only those
nominees who meet the threshold and
are sponsored by CISA.
Number of Respondents
The current estimate of annual
respondents is 660, however, based on
recent program data, CISA is revising
the estimate to 550.
Estimated Time per Response
CISA is choosing to retain the
estimate of 10 minutes (0.1667 hours)
per response in the current information
collection.

Annual Burden Hours
In the current information collection,
the estimated annual burden is 110
hours. To estimate the annual burden
hours for this collection, the CISA
multiplied the number of annual
respondents by the estimated time
burden of 0.1667 hours (10 minutes), for
an estimated annual burden of 91.67
hours (i.e., 0.1667 hours multiplied by
550 annual respondents).
Total Annual Burden
To estimate the total annual burden,
CISA multiplied the annual burden of
24,879 hours by the average loaded
hourly wage rate computer and
information systems managers of
$110.66 1 per hour. Therefore, the total
annual burden cost for the collection is
$10,144 (91.67 hours × $110.66). For the
three-year period for which this
collection will be approved, the total
cost burden would be $6,603,456
($2,201,152 annual cost multiplied by 3
years).
This is a revised 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
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).
