the IP Data Call application. To ensure 

that HSAs, SSAs, and territories are able 

to achieve this mission, IP requests 

opinions and information in a survey 

from IP Data Call participants regarding 

the IP Data Call process and the webbased application used to collect the 

CIKR data. The survey data collected is 

for internal IP/IICD use only. 

IP/IICD will use the results of the IP 

Data Call Survey to determine levels of 

customer satisfaction with the IP Data 

Call process and the IP Data Call 

application and prioritize future 

improvements. The results will also 

allow IP to appropriate funds cost 

effectively based on user need, and 

improve the process and application. 

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 assigns 

DHS the responsibility to lead the 

national effort to identify, prioritize, and 

assess the nature and scope of threats to 

the United States and develop a 

comprehensive national plan for 

securing the Nation’s critical 

infrastructure and key resources (CIKR). 

At DHS, this responsibility is managed 

by IP within NPPD. Beginning in Fiscal 

Year 2006, IP engaged in the annual 

development of a list of CIKR assets and 

systems to improve IP’s CIKR 

prioritization efforts; this list is called 

the Critical Infrastructure List. The 

Critical Infrastructure List includes 

assets and systems that, if destroyed, 

damaged or otherwise compromised, 

could result in significant consequences 

on a regional or national scale. This list 

provides a common basis for DHS and 

its security partners during the 

undertaking of CIKR protective planning 

efforts to keep our Nation safe. 

Collection of this information is 

directed and supported by Public Law 

110–53 ‘‘Implementing 

Recommendations of the 9/11 

Commission Act of 2007,’’ August 3, 

2007; and Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive (HSPD) 7, 

‘‘Critical Infrastructure Identification, 

Prioritization, and Protection,’’ 

December 17, 2003. 

OMB is particularly interested in 

comments that: 

1. Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PCII 

Program was created by Congress under 

the Critical Infrastructure Information 

Act of 2002, (Sections 211–215, Title II, 

Subtitle B of the Homeland Security Act 

of 2002, Pub. L. 107–296 (CII Act) to 

encourage voluntary information 

sharing by owners and operators of 

critical infrastructure and protected 

systems. The PCII Program is 

implemented by 6 CFR part 29, 

Procedures for Handling Critical 

Infrastructure Information; Final Rule 

(the Regulation), which was issued in 

2006. PCII refers to validated and 

marked critical infrastructure 

information not customarily in the 

public domain and related to the 

security of critical infrastructure or 

protected systems, which is voluntarily 

submitted to DHS for homeland security 

purposes. The PCII Program offers 

protection from public disclosure 

through the Freedom of Information 

Act, state and local sunshine laws, and 

civil litigation. The PCII Program is 

administered by IP’s Infrastructure 

Information Collection Division (IICD). 

The PCII Program helps government 

analysts, emergency responders, and 

other homeland security professionals 

access data about facilities and systems 

on which the Nation depends. The PCII 

Program is responsible for ensuring 

compliance with the regulation’s 

uniform procedures for the handling, 

use, dissemination, and safeguarding of 

PCII. In this capacity, the PCII Program 

oversees a community of stakeholders, 

including submitters of CII, authorized 

users of PCII and accredited Federal, 

State and local entities with homeland 

security duties. This survey is designed 

to gather information from PCII Officers 

that can be used to improve these 

relationships and to maximize the value 

that the PCII Program is offering to its 

Federal, State, and local government 

users. Both the CII Act of 2002 and its 

implementing regulations stress the 

voluntary nature of the PCII Program, so 

collecting information that will assist in 

making the PCII Program attractive to its 

stakeholders will allow the PCII 

Program to better accomplish the 

statute’s stated goals. 

The data collected in this survey will 

be used by the PCII Program to improve 

relationships with stakeholders and 

maximize the value of the program. The 

survey data collected is for internal PCII 

Program and IP use only. The PCII 

Program will use the results of the 

Stakeholder Survey to determine levels 

of satisfaction with the PCII Program 

and identify areas that require 

additional communication, identify 

areas for improvement with the PCII 

Management System (PCIIMS), and help 

determine the future direction of the 

Program. 

The survey is administered using a 

web-based survey tool, Vovici 

Enterprise Feedback Management 

(EFM). Automating the PCII Stakeholder 

Survey reduces the respondent burden 

of responding to a paper survey or a 

telephone interview. The staff burden of 

manually administering a survey and 

accurately collecting data is also 

reduced. Automation also captures 

participants’ typed comments, 

eliminating time-consuming 

transcription and manual inaccuracies. 

The PCII Stakeholder Survey does not 

collect personally identifiable 

information. The survey instrument 

states that the survey is voluntary and 

the information will be kept private or 

anonymous to the extent allowable by 

law. Data collected is for internal PCII 

Program and IP use only. 

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.
