clearances for private sector partners
who are responsible for critical
infrastructure protection, in accordance
with Executive Order 13549. The PSCP
requires individuals to complete a
clearance request form that initiates the
clearance process. Sector Specific
Agencies (SSA), IP Protective Security
Advisors, Sector Liaisons, the National
Infrastructure Coordinating Center, and
other Federal officials designated by IP
are authorized to submit nominations to
the central PSCP point of contact, the
PSCP Administrator. The clearance
request form is signed by both the
Federal official who nominated the
applicant and by the Assistant Secretary
for Infrastructure Protection prior to
initiating the clearance process. Upon
approval by the Assistant Secretary for
Infrastructure Protection, IP Security
Office will contact the nominee to
obtain the Social Security number, date
and place of birth, and will then enter
this data into e-QIP—Office of Personnel
Management’s secure portal for
investigation processing. Once the data
is entered in e-QIP, the applicant can
complete the online security
questionnaire. An alternate mailing
address is an optional field on the form
and may be provided if the nominee
chooses to have correspondences sent to
a mailing address other than the
company mailing address. IP Security
Office maintains all applicants’
information in the Master Roster, which
contains all the information found on
the clearance request form in addition to
their clearance information (date
granted, level of clearance, date nondisclosure agreements signed, and type/
date of investigation). The
Administrator of the Master Roster
maintains the information so as to track
clearance processing and investigation
information and to have the most
current contact information for the
participants from each sector. The IP
Security Office also provides the PSCP
Administrator with applicant
information to facilitate information
sharing with Federal nominators and
authorized DHS employees with a need
to know.
OMB 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. 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.

philanthropic, business and faith-based
sectors.
