SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

parties can obtain copies of the Forms 

Package by calling or writing the point 

of contact listed above. The content of 

PREDICT is proprietary datasets that 

will be used by the Research community 

in its efforts to build products and 

technologies that will better protect 

America’s computing infrastructure. 

Using a secure Web portal, accessible 

through https://www.predict.org/, the 

PREDICT Coordinating Center manages 

a centralized repository that identifies 

the datasets and their sources and 

location, and acts as gatekeeper for 

access and release of the data. All data 

input to the system is either keyed in by 

users (Data Providers) or migrated (via 

upload of XML files). 

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. 

The user will complete a portion of 

the forms online and submit them 

through the Web site, while some forms 

will be printed from the Web site and 

faxed to a PREDICT portal 

administrator. The entire Forms Package 

will be available on the PREDICT Web 

site found at https://www.predict.org.

Review; Information Collection 

Request for the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) Science and 

Technology TechSolutions Program 

AGENCY: Science and Technology 

Directorate, DHS. 

ACTION: 30-day notice and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The TechSolutions Program 

was established by the Department of 

Homeland Security’s (DHS) Science and 

Technology (S&T) Directorate to provide 

information, resources and technology 

solutions that address mission 

capability gaps identified by the 

emergency response community. The 


hsrobinson on DSK69SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 169 / Wednesday, September 1, 2010 / Notices 53707 

goal of TechSolutions is to field 

technologies that meet 80% of the 

operational requirement, in a 12 to 15 

month time frame, at a cost 

commensurate with the proposal. Goals 

will be accomplished through rapid 

prototyping or the identification of 

existing technologies that satisfy 

identified requirements. Through the 

use of data collection forms, 

TechSolutions will collect submitter 

and capability gap information from 

first responders (Federal, State, local, 

and tribal police, firefighters, and 

emergency medical service) through the 

TechSolutions Web site. The 

information will be used to address 

reported capability gaps, leading to 

improved safety and productivity. The 

DHS invites interested persons to 

comment on the following forms and 

instructions (hereinafter ‘‘Forms 

Package’’) for the TechSolutions 

program: (1) Submit a Capability Gap 

(DHS Form 10011 (04/07)), (2) 

Information Request (DHS Form 10012 

(04/07)), and (3) User Registration (DHS 

Form 10015 (04/07)). Section 313 of the 

Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 

107–296) established this requirement.
