DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

 
I&A Request Customer Survey

AGENCY: Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and 
Analysis.

ACTION: 60-Day Notice and request for comments; New Information 
Collection Request.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence 
and Analysis, has submitted the following Information Collection 
Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35).

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until November 24, 
2009. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and questions about this Information 
Collection Request should be forwarded to Office of Intelligence and 
Analysis, Attn.: Jason Clark, 202-447-3140.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 
Commission act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-53) identifies the U/SIA as having 
the primary Federal responsibility for outreach and sharing threat 
related information and intelligence with State, local and tribal 
officials (S&L). Section 511 of the 9/11 Act with regards to consumer 
feedback requires I&A to create a voluntary mechanism for any State, 
local, tribal law enforcement officer or other emergency response 
provider who is a consumer of the intelligence or other information 
products of I&A to provide feedback to the Department on quality and 
utility of such intelligence products. This is new collection for a 
pilot program. I&A Managers will use the survey results to establish 
exactly who within our S&L target audience our products are reaching 
and to generally gauge and make improvements to intelligence products 
that increase customer satisfaction and program effectiveness. The 
results of the customer satisfaction surveys will be shared with DHS 
HQ, I&A, and as mandated by section 511 of the 9/11 act presented to 
the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs of the 
Senate and the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of 
Representatives.
    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.
