(OCS), will submit the following Information Collection Request to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and clearance in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. DHS previously

the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to OMB Desk Officer, Department of Homeland Security and sent 
via electronic mail to [email protected]. All submissions

    Comments submitted in response to this notice may be made available 
to the public through relevant Web sites. For this reason, please do 
not include in your comments information of a confidential nature, such

send an email comment, your email address will be automatically 
captured and included as part of the comment that is placed in the

responses to this public comment request containing any routine notice 
about the confidentiality of the communication will be treated as 
public comments that may be made available to the public 
notwithstanding the inclusion of the routine notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 107-296, The Homeland Security 
Act of 2002, Title II, recognizes the Department's role in integrating 
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, the National Protection and Programs Directorate 
Office of Compliance and Security must maintain a robust visitor 
screening capability.
    The Office of Compliance and Security will collect, using an 
electronic form, information about each potential visitor to NPPD 
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 NPPD facilities.
    This is a new 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.
