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.
