SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In order to 

identify and assess the vulnerabilities 

and risks pertaining to the critical 

infrastructures and key resources by the 

SSA EMO, owner-operators and/or 

security managers often volunteer to 

conduct an automated self risk 

assessment. The requested 

questionnaire information is necessary 

in order to facilitate electronic 

execution of the SSA EMO’s risk 

assessment to focus protection resources 

and activities on those assets, systems, 

networks, and functions with the 

highest risk profiles. Currently, there is 

no known data collection that includes 

multiple critical nodes with specific 

sector related criteria. After the user logs 

into the system the user will be 

prompted with the assessment 

questionnaire and will answer various 

questions to input the data. Once the 

user begins the assessment, the only 

information required to be submitted to 

(and shared with) DHS before 

completing the assessment is venue 

identification information (e.g., point-ofcontact information, address, latitude/ 

longitude, venue type, or capacity). A 

user can elect to share their entire 

completed assessment with DHS, which 

will protect the information as Protected 

Critical Infrastructure Information 

(PCII). The information from the 

assessment will be used to assess the 

risk of the evaluated entity (e.g., 

calculate a vulnerability score by threat, 

evaluate protective/mitigation measures 

relative to vulnerability, calculate a risk 

score, or report threats presenting 

highest risks). The information will also 

be combined with data from other 

respondents to provide an overall sector 

perspective (e.g., report additional 

relevant protective/mitigation measures 

for consideration). 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.
