Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 10, 2024 / Notices participants that attend the courses to ensure the right audiences are targeted in an environment where last-minute changes to the participant list are common. However, it is feasible that these forms will transition to a Learning Management System (LMS) enabling participants to complete online. • The OBP interest sheet is a hard copy form laid on OBP’s booth table for attendees to provide their contact information. There has been some consideration to shifting this to an electronic format, but current booth technology does not fully support this transition. These forms do not negatively affect small businesses. • Failure to collect this information could result in questions of liability and/or remuneration for volunteers in CISA/ISD/OBP and reluctance to seek volunteer involvement as a result. This would negatively affect the overall quality of the program in delivering these trainings to private sector security providers, federal, state and local responders, and public safety personnel. • Failure to collect contact information from those who visit the OBP booth would greatly limit OBP’s ability to stay engaged with or grow its stakeholder base or provide the most relevant products/services to those stakeholders. • This collection does not include a pledge of confidentiality that is not supported by established authority in statute or regulation. This collection of information is covered by PIA DHS/ ALL/PIA–006 DHS General Contact List. This is a reinstatement of an existing collection. No changes were made to the collection instruments. ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 Analysis Agency: Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
