SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Homeland Security Act of 2002 and 
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) call for DHS to 
coordinate the overall effort to enhance the protection of the Nation's 
critical infrastructure and key resources. Specifically, HSPD-7 states 
that 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.
