    The Department of Homeland Security is especially interested in

the information will have practical utility; (2) Is the estimate of 
burden for this information collection accurate; (3) How might the 
Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information

of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of 
information technology.
    Abstract: Respondents are primarily Secret Service contractor 
personnel or non-Secret Service Government employees on official 
business that require access to Secret Service controlled facilities in 
performance of official duties. These individuals, if approved for
