59642 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 197 / Thursday, October 9, 2008 / Notices 

ACTION: 60-day Notice and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security (DHS) invites the general 

public to comment on a new data 

collection form for the DHS Science and 

Technology Directorate’s Project 25 

(P25) Compliance Assessment Program 

(CAP): Supplier’s Declaration of 

Compliance (SDoC) (DHS Form 10044) 

and Summary Test Report. The attacks 

of September 11, 2001, and the 

destruction of Hurricane Katrina made 

apparent the need for emergency 

response radio systems that can 

interoperate, regardless of which 

organization manufactured the 

equipment. In response, and per 

congressional direction, DHS and the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology (NIST) developed the P25 

CAP to improve the emergency response 

community’s confidence in purchasing 

land mobile radio (LMR) equipment 

built to P25 LMR standards. The P25 

CAP establishes a process for ensuring 

that equipment complies with P25 

standards and is capable of 

interoperating across manufacturers. 

The Department of Homeland 

Security needs to be able to collect 

essential information from 

manufacturers on their products that 

have met P25 standards as demonstrated 

through the P25 CAP. Equipment 

suppliers will provide information to 

publicly attest to their products’ 

compliance with a specific set of P25 

standards. Accompanied by a Summary 

Test Report that substantiates this 

declaration, the SDoC constitutes a 

company’s formal, public attestation of 

compliance with the standards for the 

equipment. In providing this 

information, companies will consent to 

making this information public. In turn, 

the emergency response community will 

use this information to identify P25- 

compliant communications systems. 

The P25 CAP Program Manager will 

perform a simple administrative review 

to ensure the documentation is 

complete and accurate in accordance 

with the current P25 CAP processes. 

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 December 8, 

2008. Comments: Interested persons are
