number for this action. Comments

including any personal information
provided.
In order to
identify and assess the vulnerabilities
and risks pertaining to the critical
infrastructures and key resources by the
SSA EMO, owner-operators and/or
security managers often volunteer to
conduct an automated self risk
assessment. The requested
questionnaire information is necessary
in order to facilitate electronic
execution of the SSA EMO’s risk
assessment to focus protection resources
and activities on those assets, systems,
networks, and functions with the
highest risk profiles. Currently, there is
no known data collection that includes
multiple critical nodes with specific
sector related criteria. After the user logs
into the system the user will be
prompted with the assessment
questionnaire and will answer various
questions to input the data. Once the
user begins the assessment, the only
information required to be submitted to
(and shared with) DHS before
completing the assessment is venue
identification information (e.g., point-ofcontact information, address, latitude/
longitude, venue type, or capacity). A
user can elect to share their entire
completed assessment with DHS, which
will protect the information as Protected
Critical Infrastructure Information
(PCII). The information from the
assessment will be used to assess the
risk of the evaluated entity (e.g.,
calculate a vulnerability score by threat,
evaluate protective/mitigation measures
relative to vulnerability, calculate a risk
score, or report threats presenting
highest risks). The information will also
be combined with data from other
respondents to provide an overall sector
perspective (e.g., report additional
relevant protective/mitigation measures
for consideration). 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
