SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency (CISA) operates Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure 
(CVD) in partnership with industry stakeholders and community 
researchers alike. Through this collaboration, CISA provides technical 
assistance and guidance on detecting and handling security 
Vulnerability Disclosures, compiles, and analyzes incident information 
that may threaten information security. 6 U.S.C. 659(c)(1), see also 6 
U.S.C. 659(c)(6) (providing for information sharing capabilities as the 
federal civilian interface for sharing of cybersecurity information and 
providing technical assistance and risk management support for both 
Federal Government and non-Federal Government entities). CISA is also 
authorized to carry out these CVD functions by 6 U.S.C. 659(n) on 
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure, which authorizes CISA to, in 
coordination with industry and other stakeholders, may develop and 
adhere to DHS policies and procedures for coordinating vulnerability 
disclosures.
    CISA is responsible for performing Coordinated Vulnerability 
Disclosure, which may originate outside the United States Government 
(USG) network/community and affect users within the USG and/or broader 
community, or originate within the USG community and affect users both 
within and outside of it. Often, therefore, the effective handling of 
security incidents relies on information sharing among individual 
users, industry, and the USG, which may be facilitated by and through 
CISA. A dedicated form on the CISA website will allow for reporting of 
vulnerabilities that the reporting entity believe to be CISA 
Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure (CVD) eligible. Upon submission, 
CISA will evaluate the information provided, and then will triage 
through the CVD process, if all CISA scoped CVD requirements are met.
    For the developmental digital copy of this information collection 
for review, please contact the POC listed above in this notice request.
    The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in 
comments which:
    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; and
    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.
