The Homeland Security Presidential Directive-7 (HSPD-7) (2003), Presidential Policy Directive-21 (PPD-21) (2013) and the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) (2013) highlight the need for a centrally managed repository of infrastructure attributes capable of assessing risks and facilitating data sharing. To support this mission need, the Department of Homeland Securityâs (DHS) National Protection and Programs Directorate (NPPD) Office of Infrastructure Protection (IP) is developing the IP Gateway. The IP Gateway contains several capabilities which support the homeland security mission in the area of critical infrastructure (CI) protection.
The purpose of this collection is to gather the details pertaining to the users of the IP Gateway for the purpose of creating accounts to access the IP Gateway. This information is also used to verify a need to know to access the IP Gateway and to verify that all training is performed as necessary for the IP Gateway. In addition, this collection will gather feedback from the users of the IP Gateway to determine any future requirements to be gathered
This is essentially a new collection. The collection is within the scope of Infrastructure Training and was reinstated to reuse the OMB Control Number (1670-0009).
The changes to the collection include:
1. The title of the collection was updated to reflect the changes to the collection.
2. The burden has decreased due to the restructuring of the program.
3. The registration form and feedback survey have been re-designed, and the previously approved registration form and survey are no longer in use.
