SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the direction of Homeland Security

the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP 2013); NPPD/IP has 
developed the IP Gateway, a centrally managed repository of 
infrastructure capabilities allowing the Critical Infrastructure (CI) 
community to work in conjunction with each other toward the same goals. 
This collection encompasses three IP Gateway functions: General User 
Registration, Chemical Security Awareness Training Registration, and a 
User Satisfaction Survey. Upon requesting access to the IP Gateway, the 
multi-screen registration form requests the user's full name, work 
address, contact information Protected Critical Infrastructure (PCII)

sponsor information, and additional questions related to the user's 
role in using the information. Upon registering for Chemical Security 
Awareness Training, a collection form requests the trainee's desired 
username, password, proposed secret question & response, and company 
type, size, name, & location. For the voluntary User Satisfaction 
Survey, the collection form requests information regarding the user's 
job duties, types of information sought via the IP Gateway, access 
patterns, and system usability ratings. The survey information will be 
used to evaluate program and training performance as well as to gather 
any additional requirements for future IP Gateway system updates.
