SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
The Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 2019 (STCNA), Public Law 112-96, 133 Stat. 158 (2020) (codified as amended at 47 U.S.C. 1601-1609), tasked NTIA with establishing a program to share information regarding supply chain security risks with trusted providers of advanced communications service and trusted suppliers of communications equipment or services. 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 public-facing 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 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.
