SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FCC may not conduct or sponsor a

OMB Control Number: 3060-1328.
Title: Participation Information Collection for the IoT Labeling
Program.
Form Number: N/A.
Type of Review: Revision of a currently approved collection.
Respondents: Business or other for-profit; Not-for-profit
institutions.
Number of Respondents and Responses: 332 respondents; 3,150
responses.
Estimated Time per Response: 20 hours.
Frequency of Response: One-time and on occasion reporting
requirements; recordkeeping requirements.
Obligation to Respond: Voluntary. Statutory authority for this
collection is contained in 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: 43,100 hours.
Total Annual Cost: No Cost.
Needs and Uses: The Commission seeks to revise this collection to
reflect changes to these rules adopted by the Commission in a Public
Notice on September 10, 2024 (opening an application filing window and
adopting for Cybersecurity Label Administrator (CLA) and Lead
Administrator). The FCC's consumer IoT cybersecurity labeling program
will provide consumers with easily understood, accessible information
on the relative security of a consumer IoT product they are considering
for purchase, which will increase the security of devices consumers
bring into their homes and as part of a national IoT ecosystem. CLAs
will be authorized by the Commission to certify use of the FCC IoT
Label, which includes the U.S. government certification mark (U.S.
Cyber Trust Mark), by manufacturers whose products are found to be in
compliance with the Commission's IoT cybersecurity labeling program
rules. The September 2024 Public Notice adopted rules for the CLAs and
the Lead Administrator to reduce the risk of unauthorized access, use,
disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction of program data.
Under this collection, each CLA will be required to create, update, and
implement a cybersecurity risk management plan identifying the cyber
risks that the entity faces, the controls used to mitigate those risks,
and the steps taken to ensure that these controls are applied
effectively to their operations. The plan must also describe how the
CLA employs its organizational resources and processes to ensure the
confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information and
information systems. The CLA's cybersecurity risk management plan must
be available to the Commission upon request.
