SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Technical Resource for Incident Prevention (TRIPwire)

TRIPwire (Technical Resource for Incident Prevention) is the Department of Homeland Security's online, collaborative information-sharing network for bomb technicians, first responders, military personnel, government officials, intelligence analysts, and select private sector security professionals to increase awareness of evolving improvised explosive device (IED) tactics, techniques, and procedures, as well as incident lessons learned and counter-IED preparedness information. Developed and maintained by OBP, the TRIPwire system combines expert analysis and reports with relevant documents, images, and videos gathered from publicly available sources to help users anticipate, identify, and prevent IED incidents.

Users from federal, state, local, and tribal government entities, as well as business and/or other for-profit industries, can register for TRIPwire access. The TRIPwire portal contains sensitive information related to the criminal use of explosives by threat actors, including violent, malicious organizations, which requires a limited, controlled means of dissemination—such as designations of “For Official Use Only,” “Law Enforcement Sensitive,” or “Controlled Unclassified Information.” Therefore, CISA must collect user information in order to verify an individual's eligibility to access the TRIPwire system.

In addition to new user registrations, CISA will also seek feedback from TRIPwire users via a questionnaire and will request that TRIPwire users revalidate their access status on an annual basis. All information collected/provided pursuant to this ICR will be done so on a strictly voluntary basis.

This collection of information is consistent with CISA's statutory authorities to provide assistance to federal and non-federal entities to enhance the security and resiliency of critical infrastructure, including the authority provided by 6 U.S.C. 652(c)(5), (11) and 6 U.S.C. 652(e)(1)(C).

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.

This is a reinstatement of an existing collection (1670-0028) with changes to the information collection.
