SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of Homeland Security,
Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), formerly known
as the National Protection and Programs Directorate, Emergency
Communications Division (ECD), formed under title XVIII of the Homeland
Security Act of 2002, 6 U.S.C. 571 et seq., is required, pursuant to 6
U.S.C. 572, to develop the National Emergency Communications Plan
(NECP), which includes identification of goals, timeframes, and
appropriate measures to achieve interoperable communications
capabilities. The Statewide Communication Interoperability Plan (SCIP)
Template and Annual SCIP Snapshot Report are designed to meet and
support these statutory requirements. The ECD SCIP Team will hold
webinars and a workshop with the State Statewide Interoperability
Coordinator (SWIC) and their stakeholders to review the states goals
and objectives in becoming more interoperable over the next two to
three years. The SCIP Team then puts the information collected from the
webinars and workshops with the SWIC and stakeholders into the SCIP
template. The SWIC governance body reviews and approves the documents
before it is then signed by the state and becomes a state document.
CISA does not own this document. CISA archives the information
collected in a tracking system called the CommsCollab until it is time
for the state to update this document in two to three years as mandated
by Congress.
ECD will use the information from the SCIP Template and Annual SCIP
Snapshot to track the progress States are making in implementing
milestones and demonstrating goals of the NECP, as required through the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6 U.S.C. 572. The SCIP Template and
Annual SCIP Snapshot will provide ECD with broader capability data
across the lanes of the Interoperability Continuum, which are key
indicators of consistent success in response-level communications.
In addition, the SCIP Template and the SCIP Snapshot will assist
States in their strategic planning for interoperable and emergency
communications while demonstrating each State's achievements and
challenges in accomplishing optimal interoperability for emergency
responders. Moreover, certain government grants may require States to
update their SCIP Templates and SCIP Snapshot to include
[[Page 55963]]
broadband efforts to receive funding for interoperable and emergency
communications.
Statewide Interoperability Coordinators (SWICs) will be responsible
for collecting this information from their respective stakeholders and
governance bodies and will complete and submit the SCIP Snapshots
directly to ECD through unclassified electronic submission.
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.
