One comment was received by DHS. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comments. DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until March 23, 2016. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1. ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to OMB Desk Officer, Department of Homeland Security and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@ omb.eop.gov or faxed to (202) 395–5806. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CISOMB) was created under sec. 452 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–296) to: (1) Assist individuals and employers in resolving problems with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS); (2) identify areas in which individuals and employers have problems in dealing with USCIS; and (3) propose changes, to the extent possible, in the administrative practices of USCIS to mitigate problems. The information collected on this form will allow the CISOMB to obtain feedback from the general public to assess the needs of customers and to identify improvement opportunities for Ombudsman services. The data collection instrument does not solicit or collect Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The use of this survey provides the most efficient means for collecting and processing the required data. In the future, the Ombudsman will employ the use of information technology in collecting and processing this information by offering the option to complete the survey online. Per PRA requirements, a fillable PDF version of the survey will continue to be provided on the Ombudsman’s Web site. The survey can be completed in PDF format, and faxed or sent as an attachment by email or in paper format by regular mail to the Ombudsman’s office at the address indicated on the survey. After approval of the survey detailed in this supporting statement, the online survey will be posted on the Ombudsman’s Web site at https://www.dhs.gov/topic/ cis-ombudsman. The assurance of confidentiality provided to the respondents for this information collection is provided by: (a) The Ombudsman statute and mandate as established by Homeland Security Act sec. 452; (b) The Privacy VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:03 Feb 19, 2016 Jkt 238001 Act of 1974; and (c) The DHS Privacy Office has reviewed the entire package of documents for this information collection. This collection is covered by a Privacy Threshold Assessment adjudicated by the DHS Privacy Office on March 26, 2015. The Ombudsman Customer Satisfaction and Needs Assessment Survey will be in compliance with all applicable DHS Privacy Office, DHS CIO, DHS Records Management, and OMB regulations regarding data collection, use, storage, and retrieval. The proposed public use data collection system is therefore intended to be distributed for public use primarily by electronic means with limited paper distribution and processing of paper forms. The Ombudsman Customer Satisfaction and Needs Assessment Survey has been constructed in compliance with regulations and authorities under the purview of the DHS Privacy Office, DHS CIO, DHS Records Management, and OMB regulations regarding data collection, use, sharing, storage, information security and retrieval of information. In accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, DHS is giving notice that it proposes to establish the DHS system of records notice titled, ‘‘The Ombudsman Customer Satisfaction and Needs Assessment Survey System of Records.’’ This system of records will continue to ensure the efficient and secure processing of information to aid the CISOMB in assessing the needs of customers to improve Ombudsman services and offer more efficient and effective alternatives. This system will be included in the DHS’s inventory of record systems. This is a new collection. The Office of Management and Budget 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, PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.

September 11, 2001, and the destruction of Hurricane Katrina made 
apparent the need for emergency response radio systems that can 
interoperate, regardless of which organization manufactured the 
equipment. In response, and per congressional direction, DHS and the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the P25 
CAP to improve the emergency response community's confidence in 
purchasing land mobile radio (LMR) equipment built to P25 LMR 
standards. The P25 CAP establishes a process for ensuring

that equipment complies with P25 standards and is capable of 
interoperating across manufacturers. The Department of Homeland 
Security needs to collect essential information from manufacturers on

form which will be filled out by equipment suppliers to formally 
declare equipment is compliant with P25. The Summary Test Report form 
also filled out by equipment suppliers collects the results of P25 
testing to substantiate compliance with P25 Standards. The SDoC and STR 
templates will gather this information for all equipment providers in a 
consistent manner for ease of general public and the public safety/
first responder community. In turn, the emergency response community 
will use this information to identify P25-compliant communications 
systems to facilitate interoperability and inform future aquisition. 
The P25 CAP Program Manager will perform a review to ensure the 
documentation is complete and accurate in accordance with the current 
P25 CAP processes and post it to FirstResponder.gov. This notice and 
request for comments is required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
