has the

[[Page 55111]]

responsibility ``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 National Security Presidential Directive (NSPD)-
54/HSPD-23, Cybersecurity Policy (2009).
    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.
    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.
    CE&A uses the collected information from the NICCS Cybersecurity 
Training Course Form and the NICCS Cybersecurity Certification Form and 
displays it on a publicly accessible Web site called the National 
Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) Portal (http://niccs.us-cert.gov/ 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 Vendor Vetting 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 DHS CE&A NICCS Supervisory Office will use information 
collected from the NICCS Mapping Tool Form to provide an end user with 
information of how their position or job title aligns to the new 
Cybersecurity Framework 1.1. This collected information will not be 
shared with the public and is intended for internal use only.
    The information will be collected via fully electronic web forms or 
partially electronic via email. Collection will be coordinated between 
the public and DHS CE&A via email ([email protected]).
    The revisions to the collection include: The addition of the NICCS 
Mapping Tool, the updates to the Training Course Form, Changing a form 
name from Vetting Criteria Form to Vendor Vetting Form, Course 
Certification Form has been updated to be collected via email as a CSV 
file.
    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.
