SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment is to guide State, Local, Territorial, and Tribal (SLTT) entities through the first 12–18 months of their cybersecurity plan development. The assessment contains 32 questions that are aligned to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Cybersecurity Framework and the Center for internet Security (CIS) CIS Critical Security Controls. Although not directly related, at least 20 of the questions on the Nationwide Cybersecurity Review (NCSR) will be covered by responses to the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment, allowing it to serve as an excellent ‘‘assessment on-ramp’’ for entities who have not yet been able to tackle and complete the NCSR. The entity participating in the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment is positioned to take the NCSR and continue their security maturity journey year-over-year following participation in the Foundational Cybersecurity Assessment. CISA is authorized to receive and analyze cyber threat indicators, defensive measures, cybersecurity risks, and incidents, and to use this information to make recommendations to federal and nonfederal entities regarding protective and support measures to reduce cyber risk. See 6 U.S.C. 659(c)(1),(9); 652(e)(1)(C). The Foundational Assessment implements these authorities with respect to CISA’s analysis of and support to SLTT entities. This is a NEW information collection. OMB is particularly interested in comments that: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used. PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submissions of responses.
