SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency Act of 2018 (P.L. 115-278) created the Cybersecurity 
and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). CISA is responsible for 
protecting the Nation's critical infrastructure from physical and cyber 
threats. This mission requires effective coordination and collaboration 
from government and private sector organizations. As part of the 
collaboration efforts, CISA receives requests for CISA employees to 
give presentations and speeches at various events.
    This digital collection of information is necessary to ensure an 
efficient and timely process to schedule outreach and engagement with 
CISA stakeholders. This information may be disclosed as generally 
permitted under 5 U.S.C 522.
    The Speaker Request Form will be the first point of contact between 
CISA and

[[Page 82498]]

the public to initiate CISA speaking engagements. The form will be 
available on www.cisa.gov and any member of the public can submit a 
request for a CISA employee to speak at an event. The form will be used 
by CISA to track and manage external speaking engagements. The 
information will also be used to schedule and determine the most 
appropriate CISA speaker based on date, time, location, presentation 
format, and topic. The form collects information regarding the 
requested speaking engagement, e.g., the host organization, the 
speaking topic, agenda, and additional event details. The requested 
information helps CISA determine whether the speaker should attend the 
engagement and/or how CISA should best prepare for the event.
    The information is used to determine if accepting the request will 
further CISA's mission.
    The CISA Speakers Bureau team will use the information to identify 
a speaker and route the Speakers Request Form to that person for 
consideration. Confirmed CISA speaking engagements are then sent to DHS 
Public Affairs for awareness.
    The form will be available on www.cisa.gov as a fillable pdf and/or 
webform, and will be submitted to the CISA External Affairs Speakers 
Bureau. The data collected will be stored in an internal SharePoint 
site.
    This is a NEW collection of information.
    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.
