Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for Review;
Information Collection Request for the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), Science and Technology, National Capital Region Secure Delivery
Technology Program
AGENCY: Science and Technology Directorate, DHS.
ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science &
Technology Directorate (S&T) invites the general public to comment on
data collection forms for the National Capital Region (NCR) Secure
Delivery Technology program. This is a new Paper Reduction Act
collection without an OMB control number. Secure Delivery Technology is
responsible for improving the efficiency and effectiveness of
deliveries to General Services Administration (GSA) facilities in the
NCR.
Information collected by Federal Protective Service (FPS) personnel
to ensure secured deliveries in the NCR includes the delivery driver's
name and license number. The information collected is used by FPS
personnel to verify the identity of the driver at the delivery central
screening facility and final destination locations, along with
providing an auditable trail for post-delivery analysis should an event
occur that requires forensics.
DHS invites interested persons to comment on the ``National Capital
Region Secure Delivery Technology Driver Log'' form and instructions
(hereinafter ``Forms Package'') for the S&T NCR Secure Delivery
Technology. Interested persons may receive a copy of the Forms Package
by contacting the DHS S&T PRA Coordinator. This notice and request for
comments is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104-13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35).
DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until June 30,
2014.

Please follow the instructions for submitting comments.
Email: [email protected]. Please include docket
number DHS-2013-0065 in the subject line of the message.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department is committed to improving its
information collection and urges all interested parties to suggest how
these materials can further reduce burden while seeking necessary
information under the Paper Reduction Act.
DHS 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) Suggest ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
(4) Suggest ways to 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.
Overview of This Information Collection
(1) Type of Information Collection: This is a new collection.
(2) Title of the Form/Collection: Science and Technology, National
Capital Region Secure Delivery Technology program.
(3) Agency Form Number, if any, and the applicable component of the
Department of Homeland Security sponsoring the collection: [No form
name]; Department of Homeland Security, Science & Technology
Directorate, Borders and Maritime Security Division.
(4) Affected public who will be asked or required to respond, as
well as a brief abstract: Drivers of deliveries to GSA facilities in
the NCR are required to provide their names and driver's license to FPS
personnel to bind the individual driver to the package being delivered,
and any other data associated with the delivery for security purposes.
(5) An estimate of the total number of respondents and the amount
of time estimated for an average respondent to respond:
a. Estimate of the total number of respondents: FPS contracts
approximately ten (10) Protective Security Officers who are monitored
by one (1) FTE to capture the driver and delivery information.
b. An estimate of the time for an average respondent to respond:
FPS personnel spend approximately five (5) minutes per delivery to
capture the requisite information.
c. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection: There is no burden on the public for the
information capture--FPS personnel capture the data in parallel with
other FPS personnel screening the delivery truck. It is estimated six-
thousand (6000) staff hours will be saved by automating the management
of the information being captured.
