SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 107-296 The Homeland Security Act

in integrate relevant critical infrastructure and cybersecurity 
information, analyses, and vulnerability assessments (whether such 
information, analyses, or assessments are provided or produced by the 
Department or others) in order to identify priorities for protective 
and support measures by the Department, other agencies of the Federal 
Government, State and local government agencies and authorities, the 
private sector, and other entities while maintaining positive control 
of sensitive information regarding the national infrastructure. In 
support of this mission CISA Office of Compliance and Security must 
maintain a robust visitor screening capability.
    The CISA Office of Compliance and Security will collect, using an 
electronic form, information about each potential visitor to CISA 
facilities and the nature of each visit. The Office of Compliance and 
Security will use collected information to make a risk-based decision 
to allow visitor access to CISA facilities.
    This is an extension of an existing information 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, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
