DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    The Department of Commerce has submitted to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for clearance the following proposal for 
collection of information under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).
    Agency: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
    Title: Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program--Laboratory 
Application for Assessment and Recognition.
    OMB Approval Number: None.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission.
    Burden Hours: 20.
    Number of Respondents: 20.

    Needs and Uses: The Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program was 
developed by the Departments of Commerce and Homeland Security to 
improve public safety confidence in purchasing land mobile radio (LMR) 
equipment built to Project 25 LMR (P25) standards, especially those P25 
standards related to improving interoperability between different 
manufacturer's radio systems. A key part of the program involves 
experts assessing participating laboratories to determine that they 
have the requisite technical competence and resources needed to test 
P25 equipment. P25 CAP identifies competent laboratories through 
assessments by trained teams and promotes the acceptance of compliant 
test results from these laboratories. The information collected through 
this process is to establish the suitability of applying laboratories 
and gather basic business information.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; federal government; and state, local or tribal 
government.

    Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
