Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Education and

Studies (NICCS) Cybersecurity Scholarships, Internships, Camps, Clubs, 
and Competitions Collection

AGENCY: Cybersecurity Education & Awareness Office, DHS.

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments; new collection (request 
for a new OMB Control No.), 1601--NEW.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity Education & 
Awareness Office, will submit the following Information Collection 
Request (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review 
and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(Pub. L. 104-13, 44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). DHS previously published this 
information collection request (ICR) in the Federal Register on Friday, 
December 19, 2014 at 79 FR 75824 for a 60-day public comment period. No 
comments were received by DHS. The purpose of this notice is to allow 
additional 30 days for public comments.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and will be accepted until April 1, 
2015. This process is conducted in accordance with 5 CFR 1320.1

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on 
the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and 
Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be 
addressed to OMB Desk Officer, Department of Homeland Security and sent 
via electronic mail to [email protected] or faxed to (202) 
395-5806.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title II, Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 
121(d)(1) To access, receive, and analyze law enforcement information, 
intelligence information and other information from agencies of the 
Federal Government, State and local government agencies . . . and 
Private sector entities and to integrate such information in support of 
the mission responsibilities of the Department. The following 
authorities also permit DHS to collect information of the type 
contemplated: Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 
(FISMA), 44 U.S.C. 3546; Homeland Security Presidential Directive 
(HSPD) 7, ``Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and 
Protection'' (2003); and NSPD-54/HSPD-23, ``Cybersecurity Policy'' 
(2008).
    In May 2009, the President ordered a Cyberspace Policy Review to 
develop a comprehensive approach to secure and defend America's 
infrastructure. The review built upon the Comprehensive National 
Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI).
    In response to increased cyber threats across the Nation, the 
National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) expanded from a 
previous effort, the CNCI Initiative #8. NICE formed in 2010, and is a 
nationally coordinated effort comprised of over 20 federal departments 
and agencies, and numerous partners in academia and industry. NICE 
focuses on cybersecurity awareness, education, training and 
professional development. NICE seeks to encourage and build 
cybersecurity awareness and competency across the Nation and to develop 
an agile, highly skilled cybersecurity workforce.
    The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers & Studies (NICCS) 
Portal is a national online resource for cybersecurity awareness, 
education, talent management, and professional development and 
training. NICCS Portal is an implementation tool for NICE. Its mission 
is to provide comprehensive cybersecurity resources to the public.
    Any information received from the public in support of the NICCS 
Portal is completely voluntary. Organizations and individuals who do 
not provide information can still utilize the NICCS Portal without 
restriction or penalty. An organization or individual who wants their 
information removed from the NICCS Portal can email the NICCS 
Supervisory Office (SO). The NICCS SO email address, [email protected], 
is provided in many places throughout the Web site. The organization or 
individual can send the SO a brief email stating their desire to remove 
their data.
    Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Education and 
Awareness (CE&A) intends for a portion of the collected information 
from the NICCS Cybersecurity Scholarships, Internships, Camps & Clubs, 
and Competitions Web Form to be displayed on a publicly accessible Web 
site called the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and 
Studies (NICCS) Portal (http://niccs.us-cert.gov/). Information will be 
made available to the public to support the National Initiative for 
Cybersecurity Education (NICE) mission.
    The information will be completely collected via electronic means 
using the web form collection instruments. Once data is inputted into 
the web form collection instruments it will be automatically formatted 
and emailed to the NICCS Supervisory Office (SO) for review and 
processing. Correspondence between the public and DHS CE&A will be via 
the NICCS SO official email address ([email protected]). Correspondence 
could include a confirmation to the public confirming the receipt and 
acceptance of their data entry. After this confirmation, correspondence 
will be limited to conversations initiated by the public.
    All information collected from the NICCS Cybersecurity 
Scholarships, Internships, Camps & Clubs, and Competitions Web Form 
will be stored on the publicly accessible NICCS Portal. The following 
privacy documents address this collection request: DHS/ALL/PIA-006--DHS 
General Contacts List Privacy Impact Assessments (PIA) and DHS/ALL/
SORN-002--Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Mailing and Other Lists 
Systems System of Records Notice (SORN). All information, excluding 
Points of Contacts (POC) names and email addresses, will be made 
available on the public-facing NICCS web Portal. There is no assurance 
of confidentiality provided to the respondents for this collection of 
information.
    This is a new collection; therefore, there has been no increase or 
decrease in the estimated annual burden hours previously reported for 
this information collection.
    The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in 
comments which:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including

[[Page 11214]]

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.
