public to comment on new data
collection forms for the Tech
Clearinghouse program: Consent Form,

establish a Technology Clearinghouse to
encourage and support innovative
technical solutions to enhance
homeland security and the mission of
the Department (Pub. L. 107–296,
Section 313). This requirement responds
to long-standing requests by the first
responder community to create a
resource for information and technology

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Tech
Clearinghouse National On-line
Assessment (NOEA) will collect
information via a secure Web site. The
data will be used by DHS S&T to: (1)
Assess the overall usability of the Tech
Clearinghouse, (2) Assess the specific
functions of the Tech Clearinghouse, (3)
Assess the relevancy and usefulness of
the content of the Tech Clearinghouse to
first responders, (4) Assess the ease with
which users navigate the Tech
Clearinghouse, and (5) Provide general
feedback on the Tech Clearinghouse.
Information technology will be used
in the collection of this information to
reduce the data gathering and records
management burden. The National
Online Electronic Assessment will be
conducted with approximately 100
currently employed or recently retired
individuals from the first responder
disciplines. An invitation to participate
in the National Online Electronic
Assessment will be distributed through
sources such as the First Responder
Technologies (R-Tech) User Working
Group (UWG), the R-Tech Newsletter,
and national and state-level associations
representing all first responder
disciplines. The sources will announce
the opportunity for participation in the
NOEA.
The assessment will be completely
Web-based. DHS S&T will provide a
secure Web site, through which
individuals can participate in the
assessment. DHS has opted to conduct
this collection electronically in order to
minimize the burden on participants.

Individuals that choose to participate
will take part in the assessment over a
4-week period, at locations of their
choice where an Internet connection is
available. The assessment will require a
total of two and a half (2.5) hours of the
respondent’s time, thus presenting a
minimal burden to each respondent.
Participants will be asked to read and
sign an electronic consent form granting
their consent to participate in the
assessment. Participants will then
complete an online Entrance Form,
which addresses their familiarity with
computers, computer use in
employment and leisure, common Web
sites they visit and/or use, and
expectations of the Tech Clearinghouse.
They will then utilize and assess the
Tech Clearinghouse by conducting
specified and general searches and
providing feedback through online
assessment instruments (Structured
Assessment Cases). After completing the
Structured Assessment Cases,
participants will complete an online
Exit Form, which addresses the
participant’s satisfaction with and the
overall usability of the Tech
Clearinghouse and specific functions
included in the Tech Clearinghouse.
The electronic data collection forms will
standardize the collection of
information that is both necessary and
sufficient for assessing the Tech
Clearinghouse. All online assessment
instruments were created using
mrInterviewTM 4.0 software, which
works in conjunction with the
Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSSTM). Data collected from
online assessment instruments will be
analyzed using SPSSTM 15.0.
Data will be stored in passwordprotected computers accessible only to
authorized personnel, and no data will
be associated in any way with
personally identifiable information (PII).
