Download as PDF Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 23304 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 80 / Monday, April 27, 2015 / Notices • Information gathered will not be used for the purpose of substantially informing influential policy decisions; and • Information gathered will yield qualitative information; the collections will not be designed or expected to yield statistically reliable results or used as though the results are generalizable to the population of study. Feedback collected under this generic clearance provides useful information, but it does not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: The target population to which generalizations will be made, the sampling frame, the sample design (including stratification and clustering), the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, the expected response rate, methods for assessing potential nonresponse bias, the protocols for data collection, and any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior to fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results. As a general matter, information collections will not result in any new system of records containing privacy information and will not ask questions of a sensitive nature, such as sexual behavior and attitudes, religious beliefs, and other matters that are commonly considered private. Current Actions: Revision of a currently approved collection. Type of Review: Regular. Affected Public: Individuals and Households, Businesses and Organizations, State, Local, or Tribal Government. Average Expected Annual Number of activities: 1,720. Average number of Respondents per Activity: Variable. Annual responses: Variable. Frequency of Response: Variable. Average minutes per response: Variable. Burden hours: 142,000. Request for Comments: Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB approval. Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the collection of information is necessary VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:41 Apr 24, 2015 Jkt 235001 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 automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.

ACTION: Request for Information (RFI). AGENCY: Rmajette on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tomas Vagoun at vagoun@nitrd.gov or (703) 292–4873. DATES: To be considered, submissions must be received no later than June 19, 2015. SUMMARY: In response to the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014, federal agencies are developing a Federal cybersecurity research and development strategic plan. On behalf of the agencies, the Cyber Security and Information Assurance Research and Development Senior Steering Group seeks public input on research objectives for the strategic plan. The strategic plan will be used to guide and coordinate federally-funded cybersecurity research. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 (https://www.congress.gov/bill/113thcongress/senate-bill/1353) requires that the applicable federal agencies, working through the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) and the Networking and Information VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:41 Apr 24, 2015 Jkt 235001 Technology R&D (NITRD) Program, develop a Federal cybersecurity research and development strategic plan. The strategic plan is to be delivered to Congress by the end of 2015. On behalf of NITRD, the Cyber Security and Information Assurance Research and Development Senior Steering Group (CSIA R&D SSG) seeks public input in several areas identified by the Act and regarding the current federal priorities in cybersecurity research and development (R&D). Responders are asked to answer one or more of the following questions: Questions Related to the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2014 1. Section 201 (a)(1) of the Act identifies a number of cybersecurity objectives. What scientific, technological, or implementation gaps are indicated by those objectives? What research goals, for both basic and applied research, could serve as guidance for a federally-funded, multiagency portfolio of R&D activities to close those gaps? 2. What innovative, transformational technologies have the potential to enhance the security, reliability, resiliency, and trustworthiness of the digital infrastructure, and to protect consumer privacy? 3. Discuss how the Federal government can foster the rapid transfer of R&D results into new cybersecurity technologies and applications for the timely benefit of society and the national interest. 4. Discuss how the current research infrastructure for creating, testing, and evaluating the next generation of secure networking and information technology systems could be improved, including how the access by academic researchers to this infrastructure and related data could be improved. In 2011, the Government released ‘‘Trustworthy Cyberspace: Strategic Plan for the Federal Cybersecurity Research and Development Program’’ (https:// www.nitrd.gov/subcommittee/csia/fed_ cybersecurity_rd_strategic_plan_ 2011.pdf) outlining objectives for federally-funded research to fundamentally improve the security, safety, and trustworthiness of the nation’s digital infrastructure. The 2011 Strategic Plan defined five promising areas where research could make fundamental, game-changing advances in improving the security and trustworthiness of cyberspace: Tailored Trustworthy Spaces, Moving Target, Cyber Economic Incentives, Designed-In Security, and Science of Security. The challenges and objectives described in PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 23305 the 2011 Strategic Plan remain pertinent and will be incorporated into the new Strategic Plan. The following questions are directed at the 2011 Strategic Plan: 5. What areas of research or topics of the 2011 Strategic Plan do not need to be prioritized anymore for federallyfunded research (because, for example, solutions are now sufficiently mature, or the private sector is now significantly invested in addressing the deficiencies)? 6. What areas of research or topics of the 2011 Strategic Plan should continue to be a priority for federally-funded research and need continued federal R&D investments? 7. What challenges or objectives not included in the 2011 Strategic Plan should be a strategic priority for federally-funded R&D in cybersecurity? Discuss what new capabilities would be desired, what objectives should guide such research, and why those objectives should be a strategic priority. Submission Instructions Page limitation: Submissions must be 25 pages or less. Comments can be submitted by any of the following methods: (a) Email: cybersecurity@nitrd.gov. (b) Fax: (703) 292–9097, Attn: Cybersecurity Research and Development. (c) Mail: Attn: Cybersecurity Research and Development, NCO, Suite II–405, 4201 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA 22230. Deadline for submission under this RFI is June 19, 2015. Responses to this RFI may be posted online at https://www.nitrd.gov. The CSIA R&D SSG therefore requests that no business proprietary information or copyrighted information be submitted in response to this RFI. In accordance with FAR 15.202(3), responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. Responders are solely responsible for all expenses associated with responding to this RFI. Submitted by the National Science Foundation in support of the Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD) National Coordination Office (NCO) on April 22, 2015. Suzanne H.
