SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Methodology Technical Implementation 

(MTI) Project Office supports the 18 

critical infrastructure and key resource 

(CIKR) sectors by integrating risk and 

vulnerability assessment methodologies 

into automated tools. MTI efforts 

address the unique needs and 

requirements of each sector by working 

with sector partners to develop tailored 

solutions that enable the identification, 

analysis, and management of sectorspecific security risks. The MTI team 

collaborates with Sector-Specific 

Agencies (SSAs), Sector and 

Government Coordinating Councils 

(SCCs and GCCs), and divisions within 

the Department of Homeland Security’s 

Office of Infrastructure Protection. The 

MTI team also works with sector 

specialists, risk analysts, private sector 

individuals, and Federal agency 

representatives. Efficient and effective 

use of the MTI tools helps all CIKR 

sectors nationwide reach their goal of 

making their sectors safer and provides 

a way to comply with recommendations 

in the National Infrastructure Protection 

Plan (NIPP). To ensure that interested 

stakeholders achieve this mission, MTI 

requests opinions and information from 

users of the tool regarding tool functions 

and improvements. 

The MTI Project Office is 

administered out of the Infrastructure 

Information Collection Division (IICD) 

in the Office of Infrastructure Protection 

(IP). The survey data collected is for 

internal MTI, IICD and IP use only. The 

MTI Project Office will use the results 

of the Functional Survey to determine 

levels of customer satisfaction with the 

MTI tools and prioritize future 

improvements of key tool functions. The 

results will also allow the program to 

appropriate funds cost-effectively based 

on user need, and cost savings while 

improving the tool. 

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 

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.
