goal of TechSolutions is to field 

technologies that meet 80% of the 

operational requirement, in a 12 to 15 

month time frame, at a cost 

commensurate with the proposal. Goals 

will be accomplished through rapid 

prototyping or the identification of 

existing technologies that satisfy 

identified requirements. Through the 

use of data collection forms, 

TechSolutions will collect submitter 

and capability gap information from 

first responders (Federal, State, local, 

and tribal police, firefighters, and 

emergency medical service) through the 

TechSolutions Web site. The 

information will be used to address 

reported capability gaps, leading to 

improved safety and productivity. The 

DHS invites interested persons to 

comment on the following forms and 

instructions (hereinafter ‘‘Forms 

Package’’) for the TechSolutions 

program: (1) Submit a Capability Gap 

(DHS Form 10011 (04/07)), (2) 

Information Request (DHS Form 10012 

(04/07)), and (3) User Registration (DHS 

Form 10015 (04/07)). Section 313 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 

107–296) established this requirement. 

This notice and request for comments is 

required by the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. 

chapter 35). 

DATES: Comments are encouraged and 

will be accepted until October 1, 2010.

invited to submit written comments on 

the proposed information collection to 

the Office of Information and Regulatory 

Affairs, Office of Management and 

Budget. Comments should be addressed

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Please 

note that the Forms Package includes 

three forms for collecting submitter and 

capability gap information from first 

responders (Federal, State, local, and 

tribal police, firefighters, and emergency 

medical service). As explained herein, 

these separate forms are intended to be 

flexible and permit DHS S&T to address 

reported capability gaps, leading to 

improved safety and productivity 

without undue bureaucratic burden. 

The Department is committed to 

improving its TechSolutions processes 

and urges all interested parties to 

suggest how these materials can further 

reduce burden while seeking necessary 

information under the Act. DHS 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) Suggest ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

(4) Suggest ways to 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. 

The Forms Package will be available 

on the Tech Solutions Web site found at 

(https://www.techsolutions.dhs.gov). 

The user will complete the forms online 

and submit them through the Web site.
