Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES 29844 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 125 / Friday, June 30, 2017 / Notices include notification and reporting requirements in the unlikely event that any unauthorized access, use, or dissemination of any Census Bureau information would occur. To reiterate, the information at issue is not a respondent’s personal information, rather, it is cyber threat information. E3A does not provide DHS with access to a respondent’s personal information. E3A does not currently decrypt respondent information or scan data at rest on Census Bureau information systems. 4. The ADC is concerned that the revised confidentiality pledge ‘‘raises flags on improper use of such information.’’ Response: The Act limits DHS’s use of information collected pursuant to the Act to the protection of ‘‘information and information systems from cybersecurity risks.’’ To be clear, DHS’s use of the information for any other purpose would be unlawful. 5. The AAJC suggests that the protections contained in Title 13 and the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act (CIPSEA), both of which limit the use and disclosure of information collected, should control the information at issue. Response: Pursuant to the Act, each agency must ‘‘apply and continue to utilize the capabilities to all information traveling between an agency information system and any information system other than an agency information system.’’ Congress authorized that, notwithstanding the protections previously afforded to information by other laws, such as Title 13, for the purpose of protecting agency information systems from cyber attacks, DHS may access information transiting and traveling to or from an agency information system. Census Bureau employees remain subject to the penalties contained in Title 13, including a federal prison sentence of up to five years and a fine of up to $250,000, or both. 6. The AAJC suggests that either the Census Bureau employees ‘‘perform Einstein 3A functions for Census Bureau internet traffic’’ or that ‘‘DHS employees monitoring Census Bureau internet traffic under Einstein 3A take the current Title 13 confidentiality pledge.’’ Response: The Act provides DHS access to network traffic transiting or traveling to or from the Census Bureau’s information systems, notwithstanding the protections previously afforded to information by other laws, such as Title 13. The Act also requires each agency to ‘‘apply and continue to utilize the capabilities to all information traveling between an agency information system VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:32 Jun 29, 2017 Jkt 241001 and any information system other than an agency information system.’’ In addition to the safeguards contained in the Act, the Census Bureau works with DHS to safeguard respondent information. These additional safeguards cover the collection, retention, use, and disclosure of information. The safeguards also include notification and reporting requirements that would apply in the unlikely event that any unauthorized access, use, or dissemination of any Census Bureau information would occur. III. Data Agency: U.S. Census Bureau, Department of Commerce. Title: Revision of the Confidentiality Pledge under Title 13 United States Code, Section 9. OMB Control Number: 0607–0993. Form Number(s): None. Affected Public: All survey respondents to Census Bureau data collections. Legal Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3506(e) and 13 U.S.C. Section 9. This information collection request may be viewed at www.reginfo.gov. Follow the instructions to view Department of Commerce collections currently under review by OMB. IV. Request for Comments Comments are invited on the necessity and efficacy of the Census Bureau’s revised confidentiality pledge above. Comments submitted in response to this notice will become a matter of public record. Comments should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to OIRA_Submission@ omb.eop.gov or fax to (202)395–5806. Dated: June 27, 2017.

In a separate but related matter in April 2016, NTIA, the Department’s Internet Policy Task Force, and its Digital Economy Leadership Team sought comments on the benefits, challenges, and potential roles for the government in fostering the advancement of the Internet of Things.’’ 3 Over 130 stakeholders responded with comments addressing many substantive issues and opportunities related to IoT.4 Security was one of the most common topics raised. Many commenters emphasized the need for a secure lifecycle approach to IoT devices that considers the development, maintenance, and end-oflife phases and decisions for a device. After reviewing these comments, NTIA announced that the next multistakeholder process on cybersecurity would be on IoT security upgradability and patching.5 The first meeting of a multistakeholder process on this topic was held on October 19, 1 U.S. Department of Commerce, Internet Policy Task Force, Request for Public Comment, Stakeholder Engagement on Cybersecurity in the Digital Ecosystem, 80 FR 14360, Docket No. 150312253–5253–01 (Mar. 19, 2015), available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/ cybersecurity_rfc_03192015.pdf. 2 NTIA has posted the public comments received at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/ 2015/comments-stakeholder-engagementcybersecurity-digital-ecosystem. 3 U.S. Department of Commerce, Internet Policy Task Force, Request for Public Comment, Benefits, Challenges, and Potential Roles for the Government in Fostering the Advancement of the Internet of Things, 81 FR 19956, Docket No 160331306–6306– 01 (April 5, 2016), available at: https:// www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/2016/rfcpotential-roles-government-fostering-advancementinternet-of-things. 4 NTIA has posted the public comments received at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/ 2016/comments-potential-roles-governmentfostering-advancement-internet-of-things. 5 NTIA, Increasing the Potential of IoT through Security and Transparency (Aug. 2, 2016), available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/blog/2016/increasingpotential-iot-through-security-and-transparency.

The nature of these risks varies, and mitigating these risks requires various efforts from the developers and owners of these systems. One of the more common means of mitigation is for the developer or other maintaining party to issue a security patch to address the vulnerability. Patching has become more commonly accepted, even for consumers, as more operating systems and applications shift to visible reminders and automated updates. Yet as one security expert notes, this evolution of the software industry has yet to become the dominant model in IoT.10 To help realize the full innovative potential of IoT, users need reasonable assurance that connected devices, embedded systems, and their applications will be secure. A key part of that security is the mitigation of potential security vulnerabilities in IoT devices or applications through patching and security upgrades. The ultimate objective of the multistakeholder process is to foster a market offering more devices and systems that support security upgrades through increased consumer awareness and understanding. Enabling a thriving market for patchable IoT requires common definitions so that manufacturers and solution providers 6 NTIA, Notice of Multistakeholder Process on Internet of Things Security Upgradability and Patching Open Meeting (Sept. 15, 2016), available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/ 2016/10192016-meeting-notice-msp-iot-securityupgradability-patching. 7 NTIA, Notice of Multistakeholder Process on Internet of Things Security Upgradability and Patching Open Meeting (April 11, 2017), available at https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/ 2017/notice-04262017-meeting-multistakeholderprocess-internet-things. 8 NTIA, Notice of Multistakeholder Process on Internet of Things Security Upgradability and Patching Open Meeting (Sept. 15, 2016), available at: https://www.ntia.doc.gov/federal-register-notice/ 2016/10192016-meeting-notice-msp-iot-securityupgradability-patching. 9 See, e.g., Murugiah Souppaya and Karen Scarfone, Guide to Enterprise Patch Management Technologies, Special Publication 800–40 Revision 3, National Institute of Standards and Technology, NIST SP 800–40 (2013) available at: https:// nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/SpecialPublications/ NIST.SP.800-40r3.pdf. 10 Bruce Schneier, The Internet of Things Is Wildly Insecure—And Often Unpatchable, Wired (Jan. 6, 2014), available at: https:// www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/01/security_ risks_9.html.
