Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Review and Approval; Comment 
Request; Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership 
Supplemental Information Gathering

    The Department of Commerce will submit the following information 
collection request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for 
review and clearance in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 
1995, on or after the date of publication of this notice. We invite the 
general public and other Federal agencies to comment on proposed and 
continuing information collections, which will help us assess the 
impact of our information collection requirements and minimize the 
public's reporting burden. Public comments were previously requested 
via the Federal Register on December 28, 2022, during a 60-day comment 
period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public 
comments.
    Agency: National Telecommunications and Information Administration, 
Commerce.
    Title: Communications Supply Chain Risk Information Partnership 
Supplemental Information Gathering.
    OMB Control Number: 0660-XXXX.
    Form Number(s): None.
    Type of Request: New information collection.
    Number of Respondents: Approximately 300.
    Average Hours per Response: \1/6\ (10 minutes).
    Burden Hours: 50.
    Needs and Uses: The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act 
of 2019 (STCNA), Public Law 112-96, 133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as 
amended at 47 U.S.C. 1601-1609), tasked NTIA with establishing a 
program to share information regarding supply chain security risks with 
trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted 
suppliers of communications equipment or services. Furthermore, STCNA 
directed NTIA to conduct regular briefings and events and engage with 
trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted 
suppliers of communications equipment or services, particularly small 
businesses or those that primarily serve rural areas.
    NTIA engages in several activities to satisfy the statutory 
obligations assigned by STCNA, including hosting a public-facing C-
SCRIP website to disseminate information about the program as well as 
public, open-source, unclassified supply chain alerts and information, 
and training opportunities. The agency also distributes a bi-monthly 
newsletter for those who subscribe to communications via the C-SCRIP 
website and conducts webinars and briefings on a variety of 
cybersecurity and supply chain security topics.
    To tailor its engagement and more effectively and efficiently 
disseminate information, NTIA is seeking to collect additional 
biographical information from those signing up for its newsletter. 
Specifically, NTIA would like to collect a subscriber's name, title, 
employer, location (state and country), and email address. This 
information will enable NTIA staff to better understand the 
demographics of its constituents. As a result, NTIA will be able to 
create and distribute cybersecurity and supply chain risk information 
that will be more useful to its constituents and to attend events in 
locations where its core audience is also likely to be able to attend.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit organizations; not-
for-profit institutions; State, local, or Tribal government; Federal 
Government; or any other member of the public who wishes to receive the 
C-SCRIP newsletter.
    Frequency: Once--at sign up.
    Respondent's Obligation: Voluntary.
    Legal Authority: Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 
2019 (STCNA), Public Law 112-96, 133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as 
amended at 47 U.S.C. 1601-1609).
