SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OEC was 

formed under Title XVIII of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6 

U.S.C. 101 et seq., as amended, and 

requires OEC to foster the development 

of interoperable emergency 

communications capabilities and to 

facilitate the sharing of information on 

best practices for achieving, 

maintaining, and enhancing 

interoperable emergency 

communications capabilities. OEC 

meets these requirements, in part, by 

developing and disseminating guidance 

documents on interoperable emergency 

communications issues. The guidance 

document request form and the 

guidance document evaluation form 

will help OEC stakeholders to, first, 

request the guidance documents and, 

second, to assess the effectiveness of the 

guidance documents. OEC will use the 

request form to track the request for and 

dissemination of the guidance 

documents to stakeholders. OEC will 

use the evaluation information for 

continuous improvement to its 

documents. Guidance document request 

forms and evaluation forms will 

primarily be submitted electronically. 

They may also be submitted in paper 

form at conferences, meetings, and other 

events. OMB 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 

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: Purpose 

and Activity: CIPAC facilitates 

interaction between government 

officials and representatives of the 

community of owners and/or operators 

for each of the critical infrastructure and 

key resources (CIKR) sectors defined by 

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive 7 (HSPD–7) and identified in 

the National Infrastructure Protection 

Plan (NIPP). The scope of activities 

covered by CIPAC includes planning; 

coordinating among government and 

CIKR owner/operator security partners; 

implementing security program 

initiatives; conducting operational 

activities related to critical 

infrastructure protection security 

measures, incident response, recovery, 

infrastructure resilience, reconstituting 

CIKR assets and systems for both manmade as well as naturally occurring 

events; and sharing threat, vulnerability, 

risk mitigation, and infrastructure 

continuity information and best 

practices. 

Organizational Structure: CIPAC 

members are organized into 18 CIKR 

sectors. Within all of the sectors 

containing private sector CIKR owners/ 

operators, there generally exists a Sector 

Coordinating Council (SCC) that 

includes CIKR owners and/or operators 

or their representative trade 

associations. Each of the sectors also has 

a Government Coordinating Council 

(GCC) whose membership includes a 

lead Federal agency that is defined as 

the Sector Specific Agency (SSA), and 

all relevant Federal, State, local, tribal, 

and/or territorial government agencies 

(or their representative bodies) whose 

mission interests also involve the scope 

of the CIPAC activities for that 

particular sector. 

CIPAC Membership: CIPAC 

Membership includes (i) CIKR owner 

and/or operator members of an SCC; 

CIKR owners and operators own and 

invest in infrastructure assets or in the 

systems and processes to secure them. 

CIKR owners and/or operators are held 

responsible by the public for CIKR 

operations and the response and 

recovery when their CIKR assets and 

systems are disrupted; (ii) trade 

association members who are members 

of a SCC representing the interests of 

CIKR owners and/or operators; (iii) each 

sector’s Government Coordinating 

Council (GCC) members; and, (iv) State, 

local, tribal, and territorial 

governmental officials comprising the 

DHS State, Local, Tribal, Territorial 

GCC. 

CIPAC Membership Roster and 

Council Information: The current roster 

of CIPAC membership is published on 

the CIPAC Web site (http:// 

www.dhs.gov/cipac) and is updated as 

the CIPAC membership changes. 

Members of the public may visit the 

CIPAC Web site at any time to obtain 

current CIPAC membership as well as 

the current and historic list of CIPAC 

meetings and agendas.
