[Docket No. DHS–2013–0027] 

P25 Compliance Assessment Program 

for Communications Equipment 

AGENCY: Science and Technology 

Directorate, Department of Homeland 

Security. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security is seeking Expressions of 

Interest from laboratory accreditation 

bodies, which are International 

Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation 

(ILAC) Full Members and signatories to 

the ILAC mutual recognition 

arrangements (MRAs) and which are 

capable of providing accreditation 

services for laboratories participating in 

the Project 25 (P25) Compliance 

Assessment Program (P25 CAP). 

P25 is a standard which enables 

interoperability among digital two-way 

land mobile radio communications 

products created by and for public 

safety professionals. P25 CAP is a 

formal, independent process for 

ensuring that communications 

equipment that is declared by the 

manufacturer to be P25 compliant in 

fact meets P25 standards. Accreditation 

of the test laboratories that carry out the 

compliance assessment is currently 

conducted by P25 CAP itself, but DHS 

is considering a transition to 

compliance assessment by third-party 

laboratory accreditation organizations. 

As a first step in the process, the DHS 

is gauging interest from laboratory 

accreditation bodies. This Request for 

Expressions of Interest (REI) is for 

information and planning purposes 

only. It is not a broad agency 

announcement, Request for Proposals or 

Quotations, or other form of solicitation 

for bids, and it is not a commitment or 

obligation by DHS to make award of any 

contractual instrument or make any 

payment. 

DATES: May 28, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Expressions of interest 

should be submitted to 

SandTFRG@hq.dhs.gov.

Interoperability and Compatibility, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

P25 is a standards development 

process for the design, manufacture, and 

evaluation of interoperable digital twoway land mobile radio communications 

products created by and for public 

safety professionals. The goal of P25 is 

to specify formal standards for 

interfaces between the various 

components of a land mobile radio 

system commonly used by emergency 

responders in portable handheld and 

mobile vehicle-mounted devices. The 

P25 standard enables interoperability 

among different manufacturers’ 

products. 

P25 CAP was developed by DHS and 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) to identify 

equipment that complies with P25 

standards. P25 CAP provides first 

responders with documentation of 

interoperability they need to inform 

their purchasing decisions. P25 CAP is 

a voluntary program that allows 

manufacturers to publicly attest to their 

products’ compliance with P25 

standards through a Suppliers’ 

Declaration of Compliance Document 

(SDoC), substantiated by an Official 

Summary Test Report. P25 CAP makes 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 80 / Thursday, April 25, 2013 / Notices 24429 

these documents available to the first 

response community on the Federal 

Emergency Management Agency’s 

(FEMA) Responder Knowledge Base 

(RKB) Web site at http://www.rkb.us. 

P25 CAP accepts test reports from 

certified first (where the laboratory is 

operated by the manufacturer), second 

(where the laboratory is operated by the 

Federal government), and third party 

laboratories (where the laboratory is 

operated by an independent party). 

Products are tested for performance, 

conformance, and interoperability. The 

relevant technical requirements and test 

methods have been selected by P25 

CAP, and the currently accredited 

laboratories have been assessed for their 

competence to test to specific or all of 

the test criteria. The current P25 CAP 

laboratory recognition process is 

detailed in NIST Handbook 153. 

Eight test laboratories are currently 

accredited under P25 CAP. P25 CAP has 

informed these eight laboratories that 

they may be required to seek reaccreditation from any DHS-identified 

designated laboratory accreditation 

body(ies) in order to maintain their P25 

CAP accreditation. The P25 CAP will 

consider accreditation organizations for 

participation and will recognize 

laboratories appropriately-accredited by 

any DHS-identified designated 

accreditation bodies. P25 CAP has 

developed a transition plan that will 

allow time for DHS-designated 

laboratory accreditation body(ies) to 

develop and offer an accreditation 

program for P25 CAP testing. This 

transition program may include 

appropriate workshops for interested 

parties, i.e., candidate laboratories, 

radio manufacturers, and others. 

Expressions of Interest 

Laboratory accreditation bodies are 

invited to respond to this notice with an 

expression of interest, including (1) the 

name of organization; (2) a contact 

person; (3) telephone number; and (4) 

email address. 

Laboratory accreditation bodies 

participating in the P25 CAP program 

will be required to: (a) Maintain their 

ILAC MRA Signatory status; (b) 

Nominate subject matter expert 

assessors; (c) Participate in P25- 

provided training activities, and (d) 

Accredit laboratories to the 

requirements of ISO/IEC 17025, the 

international standard for requirement 

for competence of testing and 

calibration laboratories, and P25 CAP 

specific requirements. 

A responding laboratory accreditation 

body should also discuss its: (e) Access 

to assessors with expertise in areas 

relevant to the P25 standard; (f) Prior 

experience with similar technologies; 

and (g) Accreditation of one or more of 

the currently designated laboratories for 

similar technologies. 

Expressions of Interest should note 

the FRN docket number in the subject 

line and be no longer than 10 pages. 

They the above factors and be submitted 

to SandTFRG@hq.dhs.gov. Responses to 

this notice will be acknowledged by 

DHS. Information obtained as a result of 

this notice will be used as 

considerations for the restructuring of 

the P25 CAP. 

Interested parties should avoid 

including any business confidential or 

proprietary information in its 

expression of interest. If such 

information must be included, it should 

be clearly marked and the interested 

party must provide justification as to 

why such information is confidential 

and/or proprietary. DHS will handle 

such information in accordance with the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). 

This Request for Expressions of 

Interest is for information and planning 

purposes only. It is not a broad agency 

announcement, Request for Proposals or 

Quotations, or other form of solicitation 

for bids, and it is not a commitment or 

obligation by DHS to make award of any 

contractual instrument or make any 

payment. The cost for the preparation 

and submission of a response to this 

notice is solely the responsibility of the 

interested party. DHS will make no 

payment(s) associated with this Request 

for Expressions of Interest.
