SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Emergency Preparedness Workshop Questionnaires (DHS Forms 
9006, 9008).
    OMB Number: 1670-NEW.
    Affected Public: For Profit and Not for Profit Businesses. Faith-
based and Community organization representatives who attend 
Preparedness Workshops sponsored by DHS Center for Faith-based and 
Community Initiatives.
    Number of Respondents: 500.
    Estimated Time per Respondent: 10 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,000.
    Frequency of Response: On Occasion--once at the workshop and a 
follow-up six months later.
    Presidential Executive Order 13397 directs the Center for Faith-
based and Community Initiatives at DHS (CFBCI) to develop and 
coordinate Departmental outreach efforts to disseminate information 
more effectively to faith-based and other community organizations and 
the CFBCI's regional workshops are a piece of that outreach effort. The 
regional workshops are intended to increase the participation of FBCOs 
in federally-sponsored programs and activities, and thus qualify as a 
pilot program. Pursuant to the President's Management Agenda, DHS is 
required to perform outcomes based evaluations of these pilot programs. 
The data collected will be used to evaluate whether such the intended 
increase in participation by faith-based and community organizations 
has occurred. The information is to be used by the CFBCI to measure the 
effectiveness of its regional workshops, i.e., to determine whether the 
workshops result in greater participation by faith-based and community 
organizations in DHS-sponsored programs and activities. The CFBCI will 
share the date with the White House Office of Faith-based and Community 
Initiatives and the Office of Management Budget in connection with the 
evaluation of the workshop pilot program. This is a new collection.

Chief Information Officer, National Protection and Programs 
Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
