Regulation Supplement (DFARS); Cyber Incident Reporting and Cloud

AGENCY: Defense Acquisition Regulations System, Department of Defense
(DoD).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Defense Acquisition Regulations System has submitted to
OMB for clearance the following proposal for collection of information
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
DATES: Consideration will be given to all comments received by
September 30, 2022.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title and OMB Number: Safeguarding Covered Defense Information,
Cyber Incident Reporting, and Cloud Computing; OMB Control Number 0704-
0478.
Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profit and not-for-profit
institutions.
Respondent's Obligation: Required to obtain or retain benefits.
Type of Request: Extension of a currently approved collection.
Number of Respondents: 2,097.
Responses per Respondent: 7.99, approximately.
Annual Responses: 16,760.
Average Burden per Response: 0.46 hours.
Annual Burden Hours: 7,695.
Reporting Frequency: On occasion.
Needs and Uses: Offerors and contractors must report cyber
incidents on unclassified networks or information systems, within cloud
computing services, and when they affect contractors designated as
providing operationally critical support, as required by statute.
a. The clause at DFARS 252.204-7012, Safeguarding Covered Defense
Information and Cyber Incident Reporting, covers cyber incident
reporting requirements for incidents that affect a covered contractor
information system or the covered defense information residing therein,
or that affects the contractor's ability to perform the requirements of
the contract that are designated as operationally critical support and
identified in the contract.
b. DFARS provision 252.204-7008, Compliance with Safeguarding
Covered Defense Information Controls, requires an offeror that proposes
to vary from any of the security controls of National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171 in
effect at the time the solicitation is issued to submit to the
contracting officer a written explanation of how the specified security
control is not applicable or an alternative control or protective
measure is used to achieve equivalent protection.
c. DFARS provision 252.239-7009, Representation of Use of Cloud
Computing, requires contractors to report that they ``anticipate'' or
``do not anticipate'' utilizing cloud computing service in performance
of the resultant contract. The representation will notify contracting
officers of the applicability of the cloud computing requirements at
DFARS clause 252.239-7010 of the contract.
d. DFARS clause 252.239-7010, Cloud Computing Services, requires
reporting of cyber incidents that occur when DoD is purchasing cloud
computing services.
These DFARS provisions and clauses facilitate mandatory cyber
incident reporting requirements in accordance with statutory
regulations. When reports are submitted, DoD will analyze the reported
information for cyber threats and vulnerabilities in order to develop
response measures as well as improve U.S. Government understanding of
advanced cyber threat activity. In addition, the security requirements
in NIST SP 800-171 are specifically tailored for use in protecting
sensitive information residing in contractor information systems and
generally reduce the burden placed on contractors by eliminating
Federal-centric processes and requirements. The information provided
will inform DoD in assessing the overall risk to DoD covered defense
information on unclassified contractor systems and networks.
Comments and recommendations on the proposed information collection
should be sent to Ms. Susan Minson, DoD Desk Officer, at
