processes. Other Canadian laboratories 

wishing to be considered for the NLCP 

may apply directly to the NLCP 

contractor just as U.S. laboratories do. 

Upon finding a Canadian laboratory to 

be qualified, HHS will recommend that 

DOT certify the laboratory (Federal 

Register, July 16, 1996) as meeting the 

minimum standards of the Mandatory 

Guidelines published in the Federal 

Register on April 30, 2010 (75 FR 

22809). After receiving DOT 

certification, the laboratory will be 

included in the monthly list of HHScertified laboratories and participate in 

the NLCP certification maintenance 

program.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Joint 

Analysis Center (JAC), of the Operation 

Support Division, is responsible for 

providing awareness of the Global 

Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA), 

and functions as a central point of the 

GNDA providing awareness of nuclear 

threats to the Domestic Nuclear 

Detection Office (DNDO). The JAC plans 

to implement a Regional Equipment and 

Capabilities Exchange (RECE) to identify 

and compare existing information 

referencing the domestic nuclear 

radiological detection capabilities of all 

participating stakeholders. 

The circumstances that make the 

RECE necessary is the need for a 

database that accurately reflects the 

current R/N detection capabilities 

federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local 

(FSTTL) stakeholders. 

The RECE will recognize a standard 

process and procedure that the JAC 

facilitates to ensure a collaborative and 

coordinated data collection 

methodology is followed for fidelity of 

information. The successful 

implementation of the RECE will aid 

DNDO in achieving specific objectives 

mandated in National Security 

Presidential Directive (NSPD)–43/

Homeland Security Presidential 

Directive (HSPD)–14, and codified in 

Title 6, United States Code (U.S.C.) 592. 

Attached is the HSPD14/NSPD43, 

please reference the following sections 

within NSPD–43/HSPD–14: 

Subject: Domestic Nuclear Detection 

(1) (b) Continue to enhance the 

effective integration of nuclear and 

radiological detection capabilities across 

Federal, State, local, and tribal 

governments and the private sector for 

a managed, coordinated response; 

(2) (b) Enhance and coordinate the 

nuclear detection efforts of Federal, 

State, local, and tribal governments and 

the private sector to ensure a managed, 

coordinated response; 

(2) (f) Support and enhance the 

effective sharing and use of appropriate 

information generated by the 

intelligence community, law 

enforcement agencies, counterterrorism 

community, other government agencies, 

and foreign governments, as well as 

provide appropriate information to 

these entities; and 

DNDO needs the information to be 

collected by the RECE to enhance and 

coordinate the rad/nuc detection efforts 

of Federal, State, local and tribal 

governments, and to effectively share 

the resources information with all 

interested entities. 

Although not legal justification to 

collect information, the 2010 GNDA 

Strategic Plan goals are provided as 

additional information that serves as 

examples for how this collection effort 

supports internal DNDO initiatives. 

The RECE directly relates to the 

following specific goals within the 2010 

GNDA Strategic Plan: 

• Goal 3: Communicate—Exchange 

relevant data, by receiving information 

from and disseminating information to 

relevant authorities and the general 

public, as appropriate. 

• Goal 4: Coordinate—Ensure that 

stakeholders with GNDA functions 

minimize gaps and unintended overlaps 

in roles and responsibilities, including 

through collaboration and cooperation. 

Additionally, the RECE helps DNDO 

meet DHS’ lead and supporting roles in 

the following 2010 GNDA Strategic Plan 

Objectives: 

• Objective 4: Assist state, local, and 

tribal governments in detecting and 

reporting on any unauthorized nuclear 

and radiological materials within their 

jurisdictions. 

• Objective 5: Develop or enhance the 

federal interior detection architectures 

and strategies. 

• Objective 7: Receive information 

from, and disseminate information to 

relevant authorities and the general 

public. 

• Objective 8: Ensure that 

Stakeholders with GNDA functions 

minimize gaps and unnecessary 

overlaps in roles, responsibilities, and 

activities. 

• Objective 9: Ensure that the GNDA 

can adapt and react in response to 

changes in technology, protocols, and 

adversary capabilities. 

Information collected is the type used 

in the ordinary course of business 

(official business Points of Contact; 

names, addresses, emails, office phone 

number to call.) The purpose of the 

RECE form (DHS Form 10089) is to 

collect and warehouse relevant data for 

federal, state, tribal, territorial, and local 

(FSTTL) authorities to minimize gaps 

and unintended overlaps in roles and 

responsibilities for radiological or 

nuclear (R/N) detection capabilities. The 

primary purpose of the RECE 

Questionnaire form is to collect data on 

current stakeholder (primarily directed 

at state and local) radiological or 

nuclear (R/N) detection equipment 

inventories and resources to streamline 

access to a real-time depiction of R/N 

detection capabilities and serve as a 

warehouse for the data. Data collected 

will be available via the Joint Analysis 

Center Collaborative Information 

System (JACCIS). The Adobe Active 

‘‘fillable’’ form focuses on the specific 

information regarding the respective 

R/N detection program plans, assets, 

and status of equipment. As part of the 

overall mission of the JAC, the RECE 

presents an opportunity to extend 

access to stakeholders with a RND

mission, program, or equipment but not 

reflected in an accessible database. 

The JAC aims to provide assistance to 

State or Local entities with limited 

access to resources as part of the RECE, 

and establish a standing collection 

strategy. Information can be submitted 

through use of a questionnaire (hard/

soft copy transmittal), or scripted phone 

interviews. The questionnaire will be 

distributed in compatible file format 

Adobe PDF Fill-able Form. All emails 

and phone interviews will not deviate 

from the scope or content of the DHS 

Form 10089. Phone interviews will be 

conducted on an as needed basis for the 

purposes of non-submittals or to address 

questions related to answers of 

information provided within the form. 

All data submitted will be processed 

and stored in a Microsoft Excel 

spreadsheet for review prior to Joint 

Analysis Center Collaborative 

Information System (JACCIS) 

integration. The RECE will help to 

accurately reflect the current domestic 

radiological and detection capabilities 

within JACCIS. The JACCIS Dashboard 

provides a secure web interface to 

collaborate with mission partners and 

includes a GIS that allows users to view 

detection information, detectors, 

situational awareness reports, and other 

overlays (critical infrastructure, etc.) in 

a geospatial viewer. Web Service 

interfaces to other mission partner’s 

systems and content routers provide 

linkages to detection assets around the 

country in real-time. 

The information collected will be 

used to provide a more accurate or realtime depiction of the GNDA. 

Information can be submitted through 

use of a questionnaire (hard/soft copy 

transmittal), email DNDO.JAC2@

HQ.DHS.GOV or phone interviews 1– 

877–363–6522. Use of these threes 

methods of information submittals 

provides flexibility to the targeted 

collection audience which may have 

limited access to technological 

collection. All data submitted will be 

processed and stored in an excel 

spreadsheet, saved in a designated 

folder within a non-public DHS network 

share drive folder. Following review of 

spreadsheet information, data will be 

integrated into JACCIS in accordance 

with agreed distribution or sharing 

regulations; each questionnaire 

participant will be encouraged to 

acquire a JACCIS account, and point of 

contact information for JACCIS account 

acquisition are included within DHS 

Form 10089 RECE Questionnaire 

Directives. Information already available 

cannot be used or modified for use 

because it extremely dated, and lacks 

the specificity required for accurate 

accountability. To provide real-time 

depiction of the GNDA, there needs to 

be accountability of current resources 

available at all levels. RND equipment 

varies greatly between States, Territories 

and Local jurisdictions, and it is often 

not controlled or regulated by a single 

entity. 

Efforts to identify duplication have 

included coordination with Federal 

stakeholders such as FEMA, CBP, and 

the FBI; each engagement revealed none 

of these agencies were in possession of 

a comprehensive complete data source 

which included specific domestic 

(United States) R/N detection 

capabilities for all States, Territories or 

Local jurisdictions. 

In 2007 and 2009 COL Brent 

Bredehoft Deputy Assistant Director (in 

2007/2009) of the Joint Analysis Center 

(JAC) directed his staff to conduct an 

informal information data call to federal 

entities only. In 2007 State and Local 

data was collected by the FBI (2006/

2007) and provided to the JAC. Neither 

data collection was for JACCIS, but a 

plan was developed to put data 

collected in JACCIS after receiving. This 

information was neither consistent nor 

comprehensive and largely inaccurate 

since much of the information was 

haphazardly compiled with limited 

distribution. Additionally the FBI has 

not updated or made available a revised 

version of the 2006/2007 data call. 

Additionally the RECE is organizing 

and analyzing relevant data from 

domestic Preventative Radiological 

Nuclear Detection (PRND) reports, 

specifically the National Capabilities 

Effort (NCE), but many of these NCE 

reports are extremely dated (greater than 

5 years old), do not provide definitive 

identification details regarding 

equipment, therefore there is no way to 

de-conflict with existing equipment 

data. The NCE reports were a contracted 

effort through Defense Threat Reduction 

Agency (DTRA), and due to proprietary 

limitations when distributed to DNDO 

were not accompanied by the related 

raw data collection. Additionally, the 

NCE reports were created through 

informal collection techniques, and are 

largely inconsistent. 

Lastly, in the years since the NCE 

reports and JACCIS informal data calls 

many States, Territories and Local 

jurisdictions have made significant 

advancements and or efforts towards 

acquiring R/N detection capability. With 

that said, State, Territories and Local 

jurisdictions are not subjected to any 

standing reporting requirement 

regarding R/N detection equipment or 

capabilities, which precludes DNDO or 

any other Federal Agency from 

providing a real-time and accurate 

accountability to decision-makers 

regarding available domestic R/N 

detection assets. 

There is no assurance of 

confidentiality provided to respondents. 

There will be no collection of trade 

secret or business proprietary 

information. Furnishing this 

information is voluntary; however, 

failure to furnish the requested 

information may prevent a user from 

contributing radiological or nuclear 

detection information to RECE. This 

could cause a hindrance when 

attempting to allocate resources during 

a global nuclear detection architecture 

related threat incident. 

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.
