SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, National Protection and 
Programs Directorate, Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP), will 
submit the following Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office 
of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in accordance 
with 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 January 3,

ADDRESSES: Written comments and questions about this Information 
Collection Request should be forwarded to the Office of Infrastructure 
Protection, Attn.: Michael Beland, Michael.Beland@dhs.gov. Written 
comments should reach the contact person listed no later than January 
3, 2011. Comments must be identified by DHS-2010-0084 and may be 
submitted by one of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov.
     E-mail: Michael.Beland@dhs.gov. Include the docket number 
in the subject line of the message.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the words 
``Department of Homeland Security'' and the docket number for this 
action. Comments received will be posted without alteration at https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information provided.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 and 
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) call for the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to coordinate the overall effort 
to enhance the protection of the Nation's critical infrastructure and 
key resources. Specifically, HSPD-7 states DHS ``shall establish 
appropriate systems, mechanisms, and procedures to share homeland 
security information relevant to threats and vulnerabilities in 
national critical infrastructure and key resources with other Federal 
departments and agencies, State and local governments, and the private 
sector in a timely manner.'' DHS designated IP to lead these efforts.
    Given that the vast majority of the Nation's critical 
infrastructure and key resources in most sectors are privately owned or 
controlled, IP's success in achieving the homeland security mission for 
critical infrastructure protection and resilience is dependent upon how 
well critical infrastructure owners and operators and members of the 
general public understand the key concepts, are aware of their 
contribution to achieve a shared national goal, participate in public-
private partnerships, and are motivated to take action. However, IP has 
never conducted a comprehensive feedback assessment with the full range 
of its stakeholders to identify, measure, and improve the effectiveness 
of its efforts. IP desires to collect information from its stakeholders 
in order to:
     Provide a baseline for the effectiveness of efforts to 
improve the security of the Nation's infrastructure;
     Assist in validating and achieving IP's strategic and 
mission area objectives;
     Obtain a better understanding of the evolving 
infrastructure protection and resiliency requirements of IP's 
stakeholders;
     Increase the visibility and awareness of the critical 
infrastructure protection and resilience mission;
     Initiate the coordination and uniformity of outreach 
efforts by IP, sector-specific agencies, and other partners engaged in 
the infrastructure protection mission; and
     Collect feedback regarding event, threat or service-
specific activities in a timely fashion.
    OMB is particularly interested in comments which:
    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.
