Under the
Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-19: Combating Terrorist Use of
Explosives in the United States, the
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) was mandated to educate private
sector security providers about IED
threats, including tactics, techniques,
and procedures relevant to their usage,
so they are knowledgeable about
terrorist use of explosives and
contribute to a layered security
approach.
The President’s Policy Directive-17:
Countering Improvised Explosive
Devices (PPD–17) reaffirms the 2007
Strategy for Combating Terrorist Use of
Explosives in the United States. It
provides guidance to update and gives
momentum to our ability to counter
threats involving impro-vised explosive
devices (IEDs). DHS was mandated to
deliver standardized IED awareness and
familiarization training for federal, state
and local responders and public safety
personnel.
Over the past 10 years, incidents
involving IEDs has increased
worldwide. This highlights the existing
threat of IED attacks by terrorists,
transnational criminal organizations,
and individuals domestically that have
radical political, environmental, or
international viewpoints. IEDs have
been used in the theater of war, mass
transit systems overseas (London,
Spain), in global aviation plots
(December 2009), assignation attempts
against political leaders, and other
attempts here within the United States
(Portland, Times Square, Boston
Marathon 2013). They have also been
used to threaten our ability in the secure
movement of goods in accordance with
the National Strategy for Global Supply
Chain Security (print cartridge).
The Office for Bombing Prevention
(OBP) must collect this information to
effectively deliver training without
concern that an individual who acts as
a volunteer role player in support of
official OBP training sustains an injury
or death during the performance of his
or her supporting role. Additionally,
OBP must collect conference attendee
information to properly identify key
stakeholder segments and to ensure
ongoing engagement and dissemination
of OBP products to those who desire
them.
The purpose of the Volunteer
Participant Release of Liability
Agreement is to collect necessary
information in case an individual who
acts as a volunteer role player in
support of official OBP training sustains
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

an injury or death during the
performance of his or her supporting
role. If legal action is taken, this
information can serve as a ‘‘hold
harmless’’ statement/agreement by the
Government. In the unlikely event that
an injury or death is sustained in the
performance of support for training, this
information will be used by CISA/IP/
PSCD/OBP to protect against legal
action by the volunteer or their family.
If legal action is taken, this information
can serve as a ‘‘hold harmless’’
statement/agreement by the
Government.
The purpose of the Gratuitous
Services Agreement is to establish that
no monies, favors or other
compensation will be given or received
by either party involved. The
information from the Gratuitous
Services Agreement will be used by
CISA/IP/PSCD/OBP in the event that
questions arise regarding remuneration
or payment for volunteer participation
in training events.
The purpose of the OBP interest signup sheet is to collect basic contact
information, on a voluntary basis, of
those who attend the OBP conference
booth and desire further engagement or
additional products from OBP. The
information is used by OBP to followup with the individuals who provide
their contact information.
Additional considerations for these
forms:
• The two training forms are best
delivered as hard copies to volunteer
participants that attend the courses to
ensure the right audiences are targeted
in an environment where last-minute
changes to the participant list are
common. However, it is feasible that
these forms will transition to a Learning
Management System (LMS) enabling
participants to complete online.
• The OBP interest sheet is a hard
copy form laid on OBP’s booth table for
attendees to provide their contact
information. There has been some
consideration to shifting this to an
electronic format, but current booth
technology does not fully support this
transition.
• These forms do not negatively affect
small businesses.
• Failure to collect this information
could result in questions of liability
and/or remuneration for volunteers in
IP/OBP and reluctance to seek volunteer
involvement as a result. This would
negatively affect the overall quality of
the program in delivering these
trainings to private sector security
providers, federal, state and local
responders, and public safety personnel.
• Failure to collect contact
information from those who visit the
E:\FR\FM\29AUN1.SGM
29AUN1
59532
Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 166 / Tuesday, August 29, 2023 / Notices
OBP booth would greatly limit OBP’s
ability to stay engaged with or grow its
stakeholder base or provide the most
relevant products/services to those
stakeholders.
• This collection does not include a
pledge of confidentiality that is not
supported by established authority in
statute or regulation. This collection of
information is covered by PIA DHS/
ALL/PIA–006 DHS General Contact List.
• This is a renewal of an existing
collection. No changes were made to the
collection instruments.
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.

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00031

Sfmt 4703
2001, 42 U.S.C. 5195c, states that any
physical or virtual disruption of the
operation of the critical infrastructures
of the United States be rare, brief,
geographically limited in effect,
manageable, and minimally detrimental
to the economy, human and government
services, and national security of the
United States; and that actions
necessary to achieve the policy stated be
carried out in a public-private
partnership involving corporate and
non-governmental organizations. On
behalf of the DHS, the Cybersecurity
and Infrastructure Security Agency’s
Infrastructure Security Division (CISA
ISD) manages the Department’s program
to protect the Nation’s 16 critical
infrastructure sectors by implementing
the National Infrastructure Protection
Plan (NIPP) 2013, Partnering for Critical
Infrastructure Security and Resilience.
Pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive
21 on Critical Infrastructure Security
and Resilience (February 2013), each
sector is assigned a Sector-Specific
Agency (SSA) to oversee Federal
interaction with the array of sector
security partners, both public and
private. An SSA is responsible for
leading a unified public-private sector
effort to develop, coordinate, and
implement a comprehensive physical,
human, and cyber security strategy for
its assigned sector. There are six critical
infrastructure sectors assigned to CISA
ISD, including the Chemical sector. In
addition to fulfilling the regulatory
obligations set forth by Congress, the
CISA Office of Chemical Security
coordinates with the builds sustainable
partnerships with its public and private
sector stakeholders to enable more
effective coordination, information
sharing, and program development and
implementation. These partnerships are
sustained through the NIPP Sector
Partnership Model.1
Information sharing is a key
component of the NIPP Partnership
Model, and DHS sponsored conferences
are one mechanism for information
sharing. To facilitate conference
planning and organization. This
voluntary information collection tool for
online event registration is maintained
and leveraged by the Office of Chemical
Security within CISA ISD. The
information collected with this tool is
used to register public and private
sector stakeholders for meetings hosted
by the Office of Chemical Security,
principally the annual Chemical
Security Summit. This tool is also used
for private sector stakeholders to register
their interest in being contacted by

If legal action is taken, this information can serve as a ``hold

The purpose of the Gratuitous Services Agreement is to establish
that no monies, favors or other compensation will be given or received
by either party involved. The information from the Gratuitous Services
Agreement will be used by CISA/IP/PSCD/OBP in the event that questions
arise regarding remuneration or payment for volunteer participation in
training events.
The purpose of the OBP interest sign-up sheet is to collect basic
contact information, on a voluntary basis, of those who attend the OBP
conference booth and desire further engagement or additional products
from OBP. The information is used by OBP to follow-up with the
individuals who provide their contact information.
Additional considerations for these forms:

audiences are targeted in an environment where last-minute changes to
the participant list are common. However, it is feasible that these
forms will transition to a Learning Management System (LMS) enabling

The OBP interest sheet is a hard copy form laid on OBP's
booth table for attendees to provide their contact information. There
has been some consideration to shifting this to an electronic format,
but current booth technology does not fully support this transition.
These forms do not negatively affect small businesses.
Failure to collect this information could result in
questions of liability and/or remuneration for volunteers in IP/OBP and
reluctance to seek volunteer involvement as a result. This would
negatively affect the overall quality of the program in delivering
these trainings to private sector security providers, federal, state
and local responders, and public safety personnel.
Failure to collect contact information from those who
visit the
[[Page 59532]]
OBP booth would greatly limit OBP's ability to stay engaged with or
grow its stakeholder base or provide the most relevant products/
services to those stakeholders.
