Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
Study.

Agency Information Collection
Activities: DHS Civil Rights
Compliance Form
Office for Civil Rights and Civil
Liberties, DHS.
ACTION: 60-Day notice and request for
comments; New Collection, 1601–NEW.
AGENCY:

The purpose of this notice is
to inform the public that the
Departmenet of Homeland Security
(DHS) Science and Technology
Directorate (S&T) and DHS National
Protection and Programs Directorate
(NPPD), Office of Infrastructure
Protection (IP) are engaging critical
infrastructure sector owners and
operators in a study to define and
validate current and future positioning,
navigation, and timing (PNT)
requirements for critical infrastructure.
This study will be coordinated with the
Department of Transportation, which is
establishing PNT requirements for the
transportation sector. The requirements
defined and validated by the study will
support key decisions in the
development of complementary PNT
solution(s).
Accurate PNT is essential for critical
infrastructures across the country.
Currently, the Global Positioning
System (GPS) is the primary source of
PNT information. However, GPS signals
are susceptible to both unintentional
and intentional disruption leaving
critical infrastructure vulnerable to
operational impacts from disruptions.
Due to the essential need for precise
timing within many of the critical
infrastructure sectors, DHS will initially
focus the study on timing requirements
within the electricity and wireless
communications sectors. Subsequently,
DHS will engage additional sectors and
expand the study to include positioning
and navigation requirements.

Department’s implementing regulations,
6 CFR part 17, and 44 CFR part 19; Age
Discrimination Act of 1975, Public Law
94–135, 42 U.S.C. 6101 et seq., and the
Department implementing regulation at
44 CFR part 7.
DHS has an obligation to enforce
nondiscrimination requirements to
ensure that its Federally-assisted
programs and activities are
administered in a nondiscriminatory
manner. In order to carry out its
enforcement responsibilities, DHS must
obtain a signed assurance of compliance
and collect and review information from
recipients to ascertain their compliance
with applicable requirements. DHS
implementing regulations and the
Department of Justice (DOJ) regulation
Coordination of Non-discrimination in
Federally Assisted Program, 28 CFR part
42, provide for the collection of data
and information from recipients (see 28
CFR 42.406).
DHS has developed the DHS Civil
Rights Compliance Form as the primary
tool to implement this information
collection. The purpose of the
information collection is to advise
recipients of their civil rights obligation;
obtain an assurance of compliance from
each recipient, and collect pertinent
civil rights information to ascertain if
the recipient has in place adequate
policies and procedures to achieve
compliance, and to determine what, if
any, further action may be needed
(technical assistance, training,
compliance review, etc.) to ensure the
recipient is in compliance and will
carry out its programs and activities in
a nondiscriminatory manner. DHS will
make available sample policies and
procedures to assist recipients in
completing Section 4 of the Form, and
providing technical assistance directly
to recipients as needed.
DHS will use the DHS Civil Rights
Compliance Form to collect civil rights
related information from all primary
recipients of Federal financial assistance
from the Department. Primary recipients
are non-federal entities that receive
Federal financial assistance in the form
of a grant, cooperative agreement, or
other type of financial assistance
directly from the Department and not
through another recipient or ‘‘passthrough’’ entity. This information
collection does not apply to subrecipients, Federal contractors (unless
the contract includes the provision of
financial assistance), nor the ultimate
beneficiaries of services, financial aid,
or other benefits from the Department.
Recipients will be required to provide
the information once every two years,
not every time a grant is awarded.
Entities whose award does not run a full

two years are required to provide the
information again if they receive a
subsequent award more than two (2)
years after the prior award. In
responding to Section 4: Required
Information, which contains the bulk of
the information collection, if the
recipient’s responses have not changed
in the two year period since their initial
submission, the recipient does not need
to resubmit the information. Instead, the
recipient will indicate ‘‘no change’’ for
each applicable item. DHS will require
recipients to submit their completed
forms and supporting information
electronically, via email, to the
Department, in an effort to minimize
administrative burden on the recipient
and the Department. DHS anticipates
that records or files that will be used to
respond to the information collection
are already maintained in electronic
format by the recipient, so providing the
information electronically will further
minimize administrative burden. DHS
will allow recipients to scan and submit
documents that are not already
maintained electronically. If the
recipient is unable to submit their
information electronically, alternative
arrangements will be made to submit
responses in hard copy.
There are no confidentiality
assurances associated with this
collection. The system of record notices
associated with this information
collection are: DHS/ALL–029—Civil
Rights and Civil Liberties Records, (July
8, 2010, 75 FR 39266) and DHS/ALL–
016—Department of Homeland Security
Correspondence Records, (November 10,
2008, 73 FR 66657). The privacy impact
assessment associated with this
information collection is pending. The
DHS Civil Rights Compliance Form is
subject to the Privacy Act and will
contain a Privacy Act Statement.
This is a new information collection.
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.,
