SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Homeland Security Presidential 
Directive-7, Presidential Policy Directive-21, and the National 
Infrastructure Protection Plan highlight the need for a centrally 
managed repository of infrastructure attributes capable of assessing 
risks and facilitating data sharing. To support this mission need, the 
DHS CISA ISD developed the CISA Gateway. The CISA Gateway contains 
several capabilities which support the homeland security mission in the 
area of critical infrastructure (CI) protection.
    The purpose of this collection is to gather the details pertaining 
to the users of the CISA Gateway for the purpose of creating accounts 
to access the CISA Gateway. This information is also used to verify a 
need to know to access the CISA Gateway. After being vetted and granted 
access, users are prompted and required to take an online training 
course upon first logging into the system. After completing the 
training, users are permitted full access to the system. In addition, 
this collection will gather feedback from the users of the CISA Gateway 
to determine any future system improvements.
    The information gathered will be used by the CISA Gateway Program 
Management Team to vet users for a need to know and grant access to the 
system. As part of the registration process, users are required to take 
a one-time online training course. When logging into the system for the 
first time, the system prompts users to take the training courses. 
Users cannot opt out of the training and are required to take the 
course in order to gain and maintain access to the system. When users 
complete the training, the system automatically logs that the training 
is complete and allows full access to the system.
    The collection of information uses automated electronic forms. 
During the online registration process, there is an electronic form 
used to create a user account and an online training course required to 
grant access.
    The collection was initially approved on October 9, 2007 and the 
most recent approval was on August 28, 2020 with an expiration date of 
August 31, 2023. The changes to the collection since the previous OMB 
approval include: updating the title of the collection, decrease in 
burden estimates and decrease in costs. The total annual burden cost 
for the collection has decreased by $1,193, from $5,321 to $4,128 due 
to the removal of the utilization survey. The total number of responses 
has decreased from 350 to 200 due to the removal of the utilization 
survey. The annual government cost for the collection has decreased by 
$6,945 from $12,668 to 5,723, due to the removal of the utilization 
survey.
    This is a reinstatement with changes 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, including the validity of the 
methodology and assumptions used;
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected; and
    4. 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 
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic 
submissions of responses.
