SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork burdens, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) of
1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), the FCC invited the general public and
other Federal Agencies to take this opportunity to comment on the
following information collection. Comments are requested concerning:
(a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the Commission, including
whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy
of the Commission's burden estimates; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on the
respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology. Pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public Law 107-198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4), the FCC seeks specific comment on how it might ``further
reduce the information collection burden for small business concerns
with fewer than 25 employees.''
OMB Control Number: 3060-XXXX.
Title: Participation Information Collection for the IoT Labeling
Program.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: New information collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 312 respondents; 3,130
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 14 hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time; On occasion; Recordkeeping and
Annual reporting requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this
collection is contained in sections 1, 2, 4(i), 4(n), 302, 303(r), 312,
333, and 503, of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C.
151, 152, 154(i), 154(n), 302a, 303(r), 312, 333, 503; the IoT
Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020, 15 U.S.C. 278g-3a to 278g-3e.
Total Annual Burden: 42,700 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: This collection will be submitted as a new
collection after this 60-day comment period to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) to obtain a full three-year clearance. The collection
will advance the public interest and safety because it is the basis for
the Commission's IoT Labeling Program, which will provide consumers
with an easy-to-understand and quickly recognizable FCC IoT Label that
includes the U.S. government certification mark (referred to as the
Cyber Trust Mark) that provides assurances regarding the baseline
cybersecurity of an IoT product, together with a QR code that directs
consumers to a registry with specific information about the product.
This collection will help consumers make better purchasing decisions,
raise consumer confidence with regard to the cybersecurity of the IoT
products they buy to use in their homes and their lives, and encourage
manufacturers of IoT products to develop products with security-by-
design principles in mind. In addition, consumers who purchase an IoT
product that bears the FCC IoT Label can be assured that their product
meets the minimum cybersecurity standards of the IoT Labeling Program,
which in turn will strengthen the chain of connected IoT products in
their own homes and as part of a larger national IoT ecosystem. In
addition, the Order estimates that the program will save consumers at
least $60 million annually from reduced time spent researching
cybersecurity features of potential purchases.
