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.

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 (CIKR).
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 CIKR 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 publicprivate partnerships with IP and the
Sector-Specific Agencies, and are
motivated to take action in improving
their infrastructure. IP has several
products, services, and programs and
works with partners at the local, state
and Federal levels to achieve its
mission. However, IP has never
conducted a comprehensive feedback
assessment with the full range of its
stakeholders to identify their needs and
VerDate Mar<15>2010

collect their feedback on the
effectiveness of IP’s current products
and services and how they can be
improved. Additionally, the authority
for the voluntary stakeholder surveys is
the Government Performance and
Results Act of 1993 (Pub. L. No. 103–
62). ‘‘The purposes of this Act are to:
* * * (3) Improve Federal program
effectiveness and public accountability
by promoting a new focus on results,
service quality, and customer
satisfaction; and (4) Help Federal
managers improve service delivery, by
requiring that they plan for meeting
program objectives and by providing
them with information about program
results and service quality.’’
Furthermore, this information collection
aligns to the requirements established
by the ‘‘Government Performance
Results Act (GPRA) Modernization Act
of 2010’’ (H.R. 2142) which requires that
all Federal agencies ‘‘establish a
balanced set of performance indicators
to be used in measuring or assessing
progress toward each performance goal,
including, as appropriate, customer
service, efficiency, output, and outcome
indicators.’’ Also, the Act defines
customer service measure as ‘‘an
assessment of service delivery to a
customer, client, citizen, or other
recipient, which can include an
assessment of quality, timeliness, and
satisfaction among other factors.’’
IP is seeking clearance in this
information collection request in order
to better meet the requirements of GPRA
and OMB. IP will use the information
collected to obtain feedback from
stakeholders and to monitor
performance and the achievement of its
strategic objectives over time. 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;
• Assess the visibility and awareness
of the critical infrastructure protection
and resilience mission; and
• Assess the outreach efforts by IP,
sector-specific agencies, and other
partners engaged in the infrastructure
protection mission.
