SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Abstract

    In order to fulfill its core mission, the National Cybersecurity 
Center of Excellence (NCCoE) publishes announcements in the Federal 
Register of new collaborative projects to address cybersecurity 
challenges. In response to these announcements, technology vendors are 
invited to submit Letters of Interest (LoI) for technologies relevant 
to the challenge. These letters specify the product(s) that the 
potential collaborator is submitting for consideration, how the 
product(s) address(es) one or more of the requirements of the project, 
and contact information for the company's representative. Subsequent to 
the submission of LoIs, NIST invites companies with relevant technology 
to enter into a Collaborative Research and Development Agreement 
(CRADA) with NIST.

II. Method of Collection

    Upon request, submitters are provided with questions in an 
electronic document that can be filled in, signed, and submitted via 
mail or electronic mail.

III. Data

    OMB Control Number: 0693-0075.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Review: Regular submission (revision and extension of a 
currently approved information collection).
    Affected Public: Businesses or other for profit.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100 per year.
    Estimated Time per Response: 30 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 50 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to Public: $0.

IV. Request for Comments

    NIST invites comments on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden 
(including hours and cost) of the proposed collection of information; 
(c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the
