SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency Act of 2018 (Pub. 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 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.
