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 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 the 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.\1\

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
[[Page 59533]]
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. In addition
to the removal of historically retained fields that collect redundant
or unnecessary information, and updating existing fields for accuracy
and ease of use, two additional 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.
