SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Critical Infrastructure Protection Act
of 2001, 42 U.S.C. 5195c, states that any physical or virtual
disruption of the operation of the critical infrastructures of the
United States be rare, brief, geographically limited in effect,
manageable, and minimally detrimental to the economy, human and
government services, and national security of the United States; and
that actions necessary to achieve the policy stated be carried out in a
public-private partnership involving corporate and non-governmental
organizations. On behalf of the DHS, the Cybersecurity and
Infrastructure Security Agency's Infrastructure Security Division (CISA
ISD) manages the Department's program
[[Page 20177]]
to protect the Nation's 16 critical infrastructure sectors by
implementing the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) 2013,
Partnering for Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience.
Pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive 21 on Critical Infrastructure
Security and Resilience (February 2013), each sector is assigned a
Sector-Specific Agency (SSA) to oversee Federal interaction with the
array of sector security partners, both public and private. An SSA is
responsible for leading a unified public-private sector effort to
develop, coordinate, and implement a comprehensive physical, human, and
cyber security strategy for its assigned sector. There are six critical
infrastructure sectors assigned to CISA ISD, including the Chemical
sector. In addition to fulfilling the regulatory obligations set forth
by Congress, the CISA Office of Chemical Security coordinates with and
builds sustainable partnerships with its public and private sector
stakeholders to enable more effective coordination, information
sharing, and program development and implementation. These partnerships
are sustained through the NIPP Sector Partnership Model.\4\

and Resilience, pp 10-12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Information sharing is a key component of the NIPP Partnership
Model, and DHS sponsored conferences are one mechanism for information
sharing. To facilitate conference planning and organization. This
voluntary information collection tool for online event registration is
maintained and leveraged by the Office of Chemical Security within CISA
ISD. The information collected with this tool is used to register
public and private sector stakeholders for meetings hosted by the
Office of Chemical Security, principally the annual Chemical Security
Summit. This tool is also used for private sector stakeholders to
register their interest in being contacted by chemical security
personnel regarding services provided under the voluntary ChemLock
security program. The Office of Chemical Security uses the information
collected to ensure that sufficient space and resources are available
at meetings; to follow up with registrants when required; to develop
meeting materials for attendees; and efficiently generate attendee and
speaker nametags. Additionally, it enables the Office of Chemical
Security to gain a better understanding of the organizations
participating in chemical security events, and subsequently also
identify which segments of the sector are underrepresented. This then
allows for the Office to target these underrepresented sector elements
through outreach and awareness initiatives.
The changes to the collection include: changes to the burden costs,
annual government costs, and revised and added data fields.
Historically retained fields that collect redundant or unnecessary
information have been removed and existing fields have been updated for
accuracy and ease of use. Also, the following wo fields has been added:
<bullet> `How did you hear of this event,' a field which was included
in the original instrument for this collection, and removed in a
previous revision, has now been re-added to the instrument
<bullet> A field for the registrant's company website has been added
The annual burden cost for the collection has increased by $5,751,
from $1,802 to $7,553, largely due to an increase in the number of
respondents associated with the shift to a hybrid event and updated
compensation rates. Additionally, the scope of the collection has
increased twofold: (1) the annual Chemical Security Summit, the event
with which the calculations for this collection have been historically
based, has moved to a hybrid format that allows for a dramatic increase
in estimated registration numbers (from 400 previously to 1400), and
(2) the utilization of this collection for the voluntary ChemLock
program which adds an estimated 200 users per year. The annual
government cost for the collection has increased by $53,757, from
$8,347 to $62,104, due to the shift to a hybrid event format and the
associated increase in the number of registrations, which increased
from 1,000 to 7,106.
This is a revision and renewal of an information collection.
OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
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,
3. including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
4. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
5. 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
6. Other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submissions of responses.
