DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY


Agency Information Collection Activities: National Initiative for 
Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) Cybersecurity Training and 
Education Catalog (Training/Workforce Development Catalog) Collection

AGENCY: Cybersecurity Education & Awareness Office (CE&A), DHS.

ACTION: 30-Day notice and request for comments; reinstatement with 
change, 1601-0016.

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

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security, Cybersecurity Education & 
Awareness Office (CE&A), 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 Wednesday, September 2, 2015 at 80 FR 53180 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 January 12, 
2016. 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 laws 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'' 
(2009).
    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 #8. NICE formed in March 2011, 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 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.
    To promote cybersecurity education, and to provide a comprehensive 
resource for the Nation, NICE developed the Cybersecurity Training and 
Education Catalog. The Cybersecurity Training and Education Catalog 
will be hosted on the NICCS Portal. Training Course and certification 
information will be included in the Training/Workforce Development 
Catalog. Note: Any information received from the public in support of 
the NICCS Portal and Cybersecurity Training and Education Catalog is 
completely voluntary. Organizations and individuals who do not provide 
information can still utilize the NICCS Portal and Cybersecurity 
Training and Education Catalog without restriction or penalty. An 
organization or individual who wants their information removed from the 
NICCS Portal and/or Cybersecurity Training and Education Catalog can 
email the NICCS Supervisory Office. There are no requirements for a 
provider to fill out a specific form for their information to be 
removed; standard email requests will be honored. Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity Education & Awareness Office 
(CE&A) intends for the collected information from the

[[Page 70247]]

NICCS Cybersecurity Training Course Form and the NICCS Cybersecurity 
Certification 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/). Collected information from 
these two forms will be included in the Cybersecurity Training and 
Education Catalog that is hosted on the NICCS Portal.
    The DHS CE&A NICCS Supervisory Office will use information 
collected from the NICCS Vetting Criteria Form to primarily manage 
communications with the training/workforce development providers; this 
collected information will not be shared with the public and is 
intended for internal use only. Additionally, this information will be 
used to validate training providers before uploading their training and 
certification information to the Training Catalog.
    The information will be collected via fully electronic or partially 
electronic means. Collection will be coordinated between the public and 
DHS CE&A via email ([email protected]). The following form is fully 
electronic: NICCS Vetting Criteria Web Form. The following forms are 
partially electronic: NICCS Cybersecurity Training Course Form and 
NICCS Certification Course Form. All partially electronic forms are 
created in excel. The NICCS SO is looking to develop and transition 
partially electronic forms to fully electronic web forms. This 
transition is dependent on contract requirements and available 
department funding. All information collected from the NICCS 
Cybersecurity Training Course Form, the NICCS Cybersecurity Training 
Course Web Form, and the NICCS Certification Course Form will be stored 
in the public accessible NICCS Cybersecurity Training and Education 
Catalog (http://niccs.us-cert.gov/training/training-home). The NICCS 
Supervisory Office will electronically store information collected via 
the NICCS Vetting Criteria Form. This information will not be publicly 
accessible.
    There is no assurance of confidentiality provided to the 
respondents. This collection is covered by the existing Privacy Impact 
Assessment, DHS General Contact List (DHS/ALL/PIA-006) and the existing 
Systems of Records Notice, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
Mailing and other Lists Systems (DHS/ALL/SORN-002). DHS CE&A has 
revised the collection to reflect three changes. These changes include 
the addition of: Training/WFD Provider Logo, Organization URL and 
National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework Role collection. These 
changes were added based on input received from the public. Including 
provider logos and an organization URL allows users to more easily find 
organization information. The addition of Cybersecurity Workforce 
Framework Role information will allow users to better align their 
courses with specific cybersecurity roles found in the newest Workforce 
Framework. The adjustments reported in the estimates of burden were 
based on historical data and current training provider outreach. The 
estimate of annualized cost was updated based off of actual wage.
    The prior information collection request for OMB No. 1601-0016 was 
approved through April 30, 2015 by OMB. This collection will be 
submitted to OMB for review to request reinstatement of the 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 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.
