SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office for Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC) will hold a public meeting of its Project 25 (P25) Compliance Assessment Program (CAP) Governing Board (GB). The P25 CAP GB is composed of public sector officials who represent the collective interest of organizations that procure P25 equipment. The purpose of the meeting is to review and approve the proposed Compliance Assessment Bulletin(s). The P25 CAP GB will not receive public comments during the session. DHS OIC will post details of the meeting, including the agenda and instructions on how to provide comments to the GB, ten business days in advance of the meeting at www.safecomprogram.gov. DATES: The meeting will take place on Wednesday, June 25, 2008, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. (EST). ADDRESSES: The session will take place via conference call. To listen, please send an e-mail to david.keller@touchstone.com or call 202–449–7142 by June 23 for access information. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luke Klein-Berndt, Department of Homeland Security, Science and Technology Directorate, Office for Interoperability and Compatibility, Washington Navy Yard, 245 Murray Lane, SW., Building #410, Washington, DC 20528. Telephone: (202) 254–5332. E-mail: Luke.Klein-Berndt@dhs.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Emergency responders—emergency medical services, fire personnel, and law enforcement officers—need to seamlessly exchange communications across disciplines and jurisdictions to successfully respond to day-to-day incidents and large-scale emergencies. P25 focuses on developing standards that allow radios and other components to interoperate, regardless of the manufacturer. In turn, these standards enable emergency responders to exchange critical communications with other disciplines and jurisdictions. An initial goal of P25 is to specify formal standards for interfaces between the components of a land mobile radio (LMR) system; LMR systems are commonly used by emergency responders in portable handheld and mobile vehicle-mounted devices. Although formal standards are being developed, no process is currently in place to confirm that equipment advertised as P25-compliant meets all aspects of P25 standards. PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 To address discrepancies between P25 standards and industry equipment, Congress passed legislation calling for the creation of the P25 CAP. The P25 CAP is a partnership of the DHS Command, Control and Interoperability Division; the Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology; industry; and the emergency response community. The P25 CAP works to establish a process for ensuring that equipment complies with P25 standards and can interoperate across manufacturers. By providing manufacturers with a method to test their equipment for compliance with P25 standards, the P25 CAP helps emergency response officials make informed purchasing decisions. The program’s initial focus is on the Common Air Interface, which allows for over-the-air compatibility between mobile and portable radios and tower equipment. For more information on the program, please review OIC’s Charter for the Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program, which is available at https:// www.safecomprogram.gov. Dated: May 30, 2008.
