SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Information-Sharing Initiative: Digital Assets Criteria Form.

OMB Control Number: 1505-0286.

Type of Review: Extension without change of a currently approved collection.

Description: The collection is necessary for Treasury to fulfill its responsibilities as the Sector Risk Management Agency for the Financial Services Sector under 6 U.S.C. § 665d. To fulfill these responsibilities, Treasury must verify that a requesting entity is eligible to receive Treasury's non-public cyber threat information before granting access. The Intake Form for Digital Asset Firms collects the minimum information required to confirm the applicant's identity, U.S. legal status, organizational category, digital asset function, regulatory status, cybersecurity maturity, ability to protect non-public information, and cybersecurity purpose for requesting access. Without this information, Treasury would lack a consistent, documented basis to determine whether an entity meets Treasury's criteria, whether the entity has a legitimate cybersecurity need-to-know, or whether the entity can comply with Treasury's Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) markings and dissemination restrictions. There are no changes from the previous approval.

Form: Intake Form for Digital Assets Firms.

Affected Public: Businesses or other for-profits, Not-for-profit Institutions.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 300.

Frequency of Response: Once.

Estimated Total Number of Annual Responses: 100.

Estimated Time per Response: 3 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 300 hours.

Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and included in the request for Office of Management and Budget approval. All comments will become a matter of public record. Comments are invited on: (a) whether the collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, including through the use of technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services required to provide information.

Authority:44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Juliana L. Pearson,

Treasury PRA Clearance Officer.
