EO: EO 17 Name/Subject of EO: Homeland Security Presidential Directive 19 (HSPD-19)
The changes to the collection since the previous OMB approval include: updating the collection title, updating the TRIPwire User registration page, clarifying the revalidation burden, and adding a TRIPwire Questionnaire. Overall, these changes result in a decrease in burden estimates and costs.
For the TRIPwire user registration, specifically, there were 2 data fields removed: requiring a justification for requesting access to TRIPwire and asking users how they found out about TRIPwire. The only other changes were to the look and feel of the layout of the registration pages. The changes are not expected to change the burden time per response.
The annual burden estimates for the collection has decreased by 173 hours, from 595 to 422 and the annual burden cost has decreased by $2,269, from $16,006 to $13,736, due to clarifying the burden for the revalidation process and adding the user feedback questionnaire, in combination with a reduction in the annual number of new user registrations. Estimates were also impacted by updating hourly compensation rates.
The annual government cost for the collection has decreased by $2,443, from $9,890 to $7,447, due to addition of the costs associated with staff compiling and reviewing the TRIPwire Questionnaire, as well as updated wage rates to account for full compensation rates.
