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 publicfacing 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 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 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. II. Method of Collection Under this proposed effort, NTIA will collect data electronically via webform on the C–SCRIP website. III. Data OMB Control Number: 0660–XXXX. Form Number(s): None. Type of Review: New information collection. Affected Public: Business or other forprofit 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.

Northeastern United States through the Atlantic Herring Fishery 
Management Plan (FMP). The New England Fishery Management Council

the FMP are specified at 50 CFR part 648 and the recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements at Sec.  648.11 form the basis for this 
collection of information.
    In 2014, NMFS implemented Amendment 5 to the Atlantic Herring FMP
