Title of the Collection: Critical Infrastructure Protection
Healthcare and Public Health (HPH) Partnership Data Collection.
Type of Collection: NEW.
OMB No.: 0990-new.
Abstract: The Administration for Strategic Preparedness and
Response's (ASPR) Office of Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
serves as the (HPH) Sector Risk Management Agency (SRMA) designee on
behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as codified
by the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), supporting the
HPH Sector to prepare for future threats, manage risks, coordinate
effective response, and recover from human-caused and naturally
occurring threats and hazards.
CIP promotes resilience of the nation's health critical
infrastructure by working directly with public and private sector
partners to establish risk assessment tools, foster information
sharing, provide technical resources and assistance, and lead programs
to prepare for, respond to, and recover from human-caused and naturally
occurring threats and hazards. CIP specifically manages the (HPH)
Sector Critical Infrastructure Protection Partnership (HPH
Partnership), a coordinating body of more than 300 private sector
organizations and federal and state, tribal, local, and territorial
(STLT) government entities. CIP relies on a strong partnership federal
and STLT government entities through the Government Coordinating
Council (GCC) and with critical infrastructure owners and operators
through the private Sector Coordinating Council (SCC). Together, the
councils of the HPH Partnership form a private-public network that
promotes situational awareness, coordination, capacity-
[[Page 31510]]
building, and preparedness and response capabilities by fostering a
shared understanding of Sector risks, needs, and opportunities.
SRMAs are expected to determine the extent to which their
respective sectors are implementing infrastructure protection
frameworks and guidance (e.g., cybersecurity). Per the 2013 National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP), they ``serve as a day-to-day
Federal interface for the dynamic prioritization and coordination of
sector-specific activities and carry out incident management
responsibilities''. CIP's success as the SRMA depends heavily on
routine and ad hoc data to inform its programs and activities in the
HPH Sector.
CIP plans to collect data bi-annually to understand the impact of
the HPH Partnership's work on HPH Sector resilience. Using survey-based
data collection tools, CIP will measure the performance of the HPH
Partnership as a program and use the resulting information to assess
the Office's responsiveness to its statutory responsibilities,
including those articulated in Section 2009(b) in the 2021 NDAA. The
data will additionally support CIP's ability to improve programmatic
operations and inform decision-making. CIP will also collect data under
urgent circumstances to guide emergency response activities and after-
action reporting for the HPH Sector.
