Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 185 / Wednesday, September 24, 2014 / Notices 57121 

clearances for private sector partners 

who are responsible for critical 

infrastructure protection, in accordance 

with Executive Order 13549. The PSCP 

requires individuals to complete a 

clearance request form that initiates the 

clearance process. Sector Specific 

Agencies (SSA), IP Protective Security 

Advisors, Sector Liaisons, the National 

Infrastructure Coordinating Center, and 

other Federal officials designated by IP 

are authorized to submit nominations to 

the central PSCP point of contact, the 

PSCP Administrator. The clearance 

request form is signed by both the 

Federal official who nominated the 

applicant and by the Assistant Secretary 

for Infrastructure Protection prior to 

initiating the clearance process. Upon 

approval by the Assistant Secretary for 

Infrastructure Protection, IP Security 

Office will contact the nominee to 

obtain the Social Security number, date 

and place of birth, and will then enter 

this data into e-QIP—Office of Personnel 

Management’s secure portal for 

investigation processing. Once the data 

is entered in e-QIP, the applicant can 

complete the online security 

questionnaire. An alternate mailing 

address is an optional field on the form 

and may be provided if the nominee 

chooses to have correspondences sent to 

a mailing address other than the 

company mailing address. IP Security 

Office maintains all applicants’ 

information in the Master Roster, which 

contains all the information found on 

the clearance request form in addition to 

their clearance information (date 

granted, level of clearance, date nondisclosure agreements signed, and type/ 

date of investigation). The 

Administrator of the Master Roster 

maintains the information so as to track 

clearance processing and investigation 

information and to have the most 

current contact information for the 

participants from each sector. The IP 

Security Office also provides the PSCP 

Administrator with applicant 

information to facilitate information 

sharing with Federal nominators and 

authorized DHS employees with a need 

to know. 

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.

HUD stakeholder groups that include 

(but are not limited to) public housing

housing residents, HUD grantees, civil 

rights organizations, homeless advocacy 

organizations, the legal community, 

academics, organized labor 

representatives, HUD grantees, and 

members of the housing, nonprofit, 

philanthropic, business and faith-based 

sectors. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3150. 

Estimated Number of Responses: 

3150. 

Frequency of Response: 1. 

Average Hours per Response: 1. 

Total Estimated Burdens: 315 hrs. 

B. Solicitation of Public Comment 

This notice is soliciting comments 

from members of the public and affected 

parties concerning the collection of 

information described in Section A on 

the following:

of information is necessary for the 

proper performance of the functions of 

the agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility;

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information; 

(3) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(4) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond; including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

HUD encourages interested parties to 

submit comment in response to these 

questions.
