SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Associated Form; and OMB Number: DoD's Defense Industrial 
Base (DIB) Cybersecurity (CS) Program Point of Contact (POC) 
Information; OMB Control Number 0704-0490.
    Needs and Uses: The information collection requirement is necessary 
to execute the voluntary Defense Industrial Base (DIB) Cybersecurity 
(CS) program. DoD will collect business points of contact (POC) 
information from all DIB CS program participants on a one-time basis, 
with updates as necessary, to facilitate communications and the sharing 
of share unclassified and classified cyber threat information.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit and not-for-profit 
institutions.
    Annual Burden Hours: 312.
    Number of Respondents: 935.
    Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Annual Responses: 935.
    Average Burden per Response: 20 minutes.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Respondents are cleared defense contractors participating in DoD's 
DIB Cybersecurity program who voluntarily share cyber threat 
information with DoD. DoD estimates that no more than 10% of the total 
eligible population of cleared defense contractors will apply to the 
voluntary DIB Cybersecurity program resulting in 850 cleared defense 
contractors impacted annually. An additional 10% of the population or 
85 contractors may provide updated points of contact for the program, 
as required. Having DIB participants share cyber threat information 
under the DIB CS program allows both DoD and DIB participants to better 
understand cyber threats, to better protect unclassified defense 
information, and increases cyber situational awareness of the overall 
threat landscape, while preserving the intellectual property and 
competitive capabilities of our national defense industrial base.
