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 (dategranted, 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.
