SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (STCNA),
Public Law 112-96, 133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as amended at 47
U.S.C. 1601-1609), tasked NTIA with establishing a program to share
information regarding supply chain security risks with trusted
providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of
communications equipment or services. Furthermore, STCNA directed NTIA
to conduct regular briefings and events and engage with trusted
providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of
communications equipment or services, particularly small businesses or
those that primarily serve rural areas.
NTIA engages in several activities to satisfy the statutory
obligations assigned by STCNA, including hosting a public-facing C-
SCRIP website to disseminate information about the program as well as
public, open-source, unclassified supply chain alerts and information,
and training opportunities. The agency also distributes a bi-monthly
newsletter for those who subscribe via the C-SCRIP website and conducts
webinars and briefings on a variety of cybersecurity and supply chain
security topics.
To tailor its engagement and more effectively and efficiently
disseminate information, NTIA is seeking to collect additional
biographical information from those signing up for its newsletter.
Specifically, NTIA would like to collect a subscriber's name, title,
employer, location (state and country), and email address. This
information will enable NTIA staff to better understand the
demographics of its constituents. As a result, NTIA will be able to
create and distribute cybersecurity and supply chain risk information
that will be more useful to its constituents and to attend events in
locations where its core audience is also likely to be able to attend.
II. Method of Collection
Under this proposed effort, NTIA will collect data electronically
via webform on the C-SCRIP website.
