BILLING CODE 9111-23-P DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY [Docket No.: DHS-2018-0073] Project 25 Compliance Assessment Program (P25 CAP) AGENCY: Science and Technology Directorate, Department of Homeland Security. ACTION: 60-Day notice of information collection; request for comment. (Extension of a currently approved collection, 1640-0015). SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security
(DHS)invites the general public to comment on updated data collection forms for DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate's Project 25
(P25)Compliance Assessment Program (CAP): Supplier's Declaration of Compliance
(SDoC)(DHS Form 10044 (6/08)) and an accompanying Summary Test Report
(STR)(DHS Form 10056 (9/08)). The collections are posted on the *dhs.gov* website ( *https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/p25-cap* ). The attacks of September 11, 2001, and the destruction of Hurricane Katrina made apparent the need for emergency response radio systems that can interoperate, regardless of which organization manufactured the equipment. Per congressional direction, DHS and the National Institute of Standards and Technology
(NIST)developed the P25 CAP to improve the emergency response community's confidence in purchasing land mobile radio
(LMR)equipment built to P25 LMR standards. Equipment suppliers provide the information to publicly attest to their products' compliance with a specific set of P25 standards. The SDoC, and its STR, which substantiates the declaration, constitutes a company's formal, public attestation of compliance with the standards for the equipment. In turn, first responders at local, tribal, state, and federal levels across multiple disciplines including law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services personnel, will use this information to identify P25 compliant communications system products. The P25 CAP Program Manager performs a simple administrative review to ensure the documentation is complete and accurate in accordance with the current P25 CAP processes. DATES: Comments are encouraged and accepted until May 20, 2019.
