Background
P25 is a standards development
process for the design, manufacture, and
evaluation of interoperable digital twoway land mobile radio communications
products created by and for public
safety professionals. The goal of P25 is
to specify formal standards for
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:50 Sep 28, 2018
Jkt 247001
interfaces and features between the
various components of a land mobile
radio system commonly used by public
safety agencies in portable handheld
and mobile vehicle-mounted devices.
The P25 standard enables
interoperability among different
suppliers’ products.
P25 CAP was developed by DHS to
test equipment designed to comply with
P25 standards. P25 CAP ensures that
communications equipment that is
declared by the supplier to be P25compliant, in fact, is tested against the
standards with publicly published
results. The program provides public
safety agencies with evidence that the
communications equipment they are
purchasing is tested against and
complies with the P25 standards for
performance, conformance, and
interoperability. The P25 CAP AP
provides a resource by which DHS gains
insight into the collective interest of
organizations that procure P25compliant equipment and a resource for
DHS to continue to establish the
policies of the P25 CAP, along with
assisting the DHS Office for
Interoperability and Compatibility (OIC)
in the administration of the program.
P25 CAP is a voluntary program that
provides a mechanism for the
recognition of testing laboratories based
on internationally accepted standards. It
identifies competent P25 CAP testing
laboratories for DHS-recognition
through a robust assessment process and
promotes the acceptance of compliant
test results from these laboratories.
As a voluntary program, P25 CAP
allows suppliers to publicly attest to
their products’ compliance with a
selected group of requirements through
Summary Test Report (STR) and
Supplier’s Declaration of Compliance
(SDOC) documents based on the
Detailed Test Report (DTR) from the
DHS-recognized laboratory(ies) that
performed the product testing. In turn,
DHS makes these documents available
to the first response community to
inform their purchasing decisions via
the dhs.gov/science-and-technology/
p25-cap website.
Membership
The Science and Technology
Directorate (S&T) of DHS formed the
P25 CAP AP to provide S&T with the
views of active local, state, tribal,
territorial and Federal government
officials who use or whose offices use
portable handheld and mobile vehiclemounted radios. Those government
officials selected to participate in the
P25 CAP AP are selected based on their
experience with the management and
procurement of land mobile radio

systems or knowledge of conformity
assessment programs and methods. The
OIC selection process balances
viewpoints required to effectively
address P25 CAP issues under
consideration. To fill one open position
on the P25 CAP AP, OIC is particularly
interested in receiving nominations and
expressions of interest from individuals
in the following categories:
• State, tribal, territorial, or local
government agencies and organizations
with expertise in communications
issues and technologies.
• Federal government agencies with
expertise in communications or
homeland security matters.
While OIC can call for a meeting of
the P25 CAP AP as it deems necessary
and appropriate, for member
commitment and planning purposes, it
is anticipated that the P25 CAP AP will
meet approximately 3–4 times annually
in their role of providing guidance and
support to the P25 CAP.
Those selected to serve on the P25
CAP AP will be required to sign a
gratuitous services agreement and will
not be paid or reimbursed for their
participation; however, DHS S&T will,
subject to the availability of funds,
reimburse the travel expenses associated
with the participation of non-Federal
members in accordance with Federal
Travel Regulations. OIC reserves the
right to select primary and alternate
members to the P25 CAP AP for terms
appropriate for the accomplishment of
the Board’s mission. Members serve at
the pleasure of the OIC Director.
Registered lobbyists pursuant to the
Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 are not
eligible for membership on the P25 CAP
AP and will not be considered.
Roles and Responsibilities
The duties of the P25 CAP AP will
include providing recommendations of
its individual members to OIC regarding
actions and steps OIC could take to
promote the P25 CAP. The duties of the
P25 CAP AP may include but are not
limited to its members reviewing,
commenting on, and advising on:
a. The laboratory component of the
P25 CAP under established,
documented laboratory recognition
guidelines.
b. Proposed Compliance Assessment
Bulletins (CABs).
c. Proposed updates to previously
approved CABs, as Notices of Proposed
CABs, to enable comment and input on
the proposed CAB modifications.
d. OIC updates to existing test
documents or establishing new test
documents for new types of P25
equipment.
