Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Submission for Review; 

Information Collection Request for the 

Department of Homeland Security 

(DHS), Science and Technology, 

Biodefense Knowledge Center (BKC) 

AGENCY: Science and Technology 

Directorate, DHS. 

ACTION: 30-day Notice and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS), Science & Technology 

(S&T) Directorate invites the general 

public to comment on data collection 

forms for the Biodefense Knowledge 

Center (BKC) program. BKC is 

responsible for coordinating the 

collection of Life Sciences Subject 

Matter Experts (SMEs) information with 

the Office of the Director of National 

Intelligence (ODNI), which operates 

under the authority of the National 

Security act of 1947, as amended by the 

Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 

Prevention Act of 2004. These 

authorities charge the ODNI with 

responsibility to coordinate and 

rationalize the activities of the 

Intelligence Community components. 

The SME information is necessary to 

understand who can provide scientific 

expertise for peer review of life science 

programs. In addition, the directory 

makes it easier to identify scientific 

specialty areas for which there is a 

shortage of Subject Matter Experts 

(SMEs) with appropriate security 

clearances. 

The DHS invites interested persons to 

comment on the following form and 

instructions (hereinafter ‘‘Forms 

Package’’) for the S&T BKC: (1) Subject 

Matter Expert Registration Form (DHS 

FORM 10043 (2/08)). Interested persons 

may receive a copy of the Forms 

Package by contacting the DHS S&T 

PRA Coordinator. 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 November 25, 

2011. 

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

254–6828 (Not a toll free number). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

information is collected via the DHS 

S&T BKC secure Web site at https://

bkms.llnl.gov/sme. The BKC Web site 

only employs secure web-based 

technology (i.e., electronic registration 

form) to collect information from users 

to both reduce the burden and increase 

the efficiency of this collection. 

The Department is committed to 

improving its information collection 

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. 

Overview of This Information 

Collection

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: The Subject Matter Experts 

(SME) information is necessary to

expertise for peer review of life science 

programs. The directory makes it easier 

to identify scientific specialty areas for 

which there is a shortage of SMEs with 

appropriate security clearances. SME 

contact information, scientific expertise, 

and level of education is collected 

electronically through a web portal 

developed by DHS S&T. The SME 

information is shared with U.S. 

Government program managers and 

other members of the biodefense 

community who have a legitimate need 

to identify life sciences SMEs. Cleared 

SMEs are necessary to accomplish 

scientific reviews and attend topical 

meetings. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

estimated for an average respondent to 

respond: 

a. Estimate of the total number of 

respondents: 4000. 

b. An estimate of the time for an 

average respondent to respond: 0.25 

burden hours. 

c. An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: 1000 burden hours.
