ADDRESSES: Interested persons are 

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 

to OMB Desk Officer, Department of 

Homeland Security and sent via 

electronic mail to 

oira_submission@omb.eop.gov or faxed 

to (202) 395–5806. 

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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

additional information is required 

contact: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Amanda Norman, 

Program Analyst, DHS/NPPD/IP/IICD, 

Amanda.Norman@dhs.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DHS 

Sector Specific Agency (SSA) for the 

Chemical Sector partnered with the 

Methodology Technical Implementation 

(MTI) office, within the Infrastructure 

Information Collection Division (IICD), 

in the Office of Infrastructure Protection 

(IP), National Protection and Program 

Directorate (NPPD), which supports the 

automation of sector-approved risk and 

vulnerability assessment methodologies 

that are compliant with the criteria 

outlined in the National Infrastructure 

Protection Plan (NIPP), to develop a 

Web-based, automated assessment tool 

for voluntary use by chemical facilities. 

This application, titled Voluntary 

Chemical Assessment Tool (VCAT), 

allows owners/operators to identify 

their current vulnerability and risk 

levels through an all-hazards approach. 

The application enables owners/ 

operators to evaluate the theoretical 

vulnerability and risk associated with 

the effects of the selected threats, thus 

allowing the Chemical Sector to more 

thoroughly understand, prioritize and 

analyze its assets or systems. VCAT 

facilitates cost benefit analysis, allowing 

owners/operators to select the best 

combination of physical security 

countermeasures and mitigation 

strategies to reduce overall risk. 

Collection of this information is 

directed and supported by Homeland 

Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 

7, ‘‘Critical Infrastructure Identification, 

Prioritization, and Protection,’’ 

December 17, 2003. 

After Chemical SSA and private 

sector partners access the VCAT system 

(see supporting statement for VCAT 

User Accounts), the user will be 

prompted with the VCAT Assessment 

questionnaire and will answer various 

questions to input the data. This 

information will be used to supplement 

existing critical infrastructure and key 

resources (CIKR) protection activities 

conducted by DHS NPPD. More 

specifically, the information will be 

used to address facility assessments, 

response planning, and risk mitigation 

execution and related CIKR protection 

and incident management activities.
