SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 107-296, The Homeland Security
Act of 2002, Title II, recognizes the Department's role in integrating
relevant critical infrastructure and cybersecurity information,
analyses, and vulnerability assessments (whether such information,
analyses, or assessments are provided or produced by the Department or
others) in order to identify priorities for protective and support
measures by the Department, other agencies of the Federal Government,
State and local government agencies and authorities, the private
sector, and other entities while maintaining positive control of
sensitive information regarding the national infrastructure. In support
of this mission, the National Protection and Programs Directorate
Office of Compliance and Security must maintain a robust visitor
screening capability.
The Office of Compliance and Security will collect, using an
electronic form, information about each potential visitor to NPPD
facilities and the nature of each visit. The Office of Compliance and
Security will use collected information to make a risk-based decision
to allow visitor access to NPPD facilities.
This is a new information collection. The Office of Management and
Budget is particularly interested in comments which:
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
