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. 

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.
