Correction: This notice was published 

in the Federal Register on July 8, 2010, 

Volume 75, Number 130, Page 39265– 

39266. The notice for the 

aforementioned meeting has been 

changed to the following: 

The NCEH/ATSDR is soliciting 

nominations for consideration of 

membership on the BSC. The BSC, 

NCEH/ATSDR provides advice and 

guidance to the Secretary, HHS; the 

Director, CDC and the Director, NCEH/ 

ATSDR, regarding program goals, 

objectives, strategies, and priorities in 

fulfillment of the agencies’ mission to 

protect and promote people’s health. 

The Board provides advice and 

guidance to help NCEH/ATSDR work 

more efficiently and effectively with its 

various constituents and to fulfill its 

mission in protecting America’s health. 

Nominations are being sought for 

individuals who have expertise and 

qualifications necessary to contribute to 

the accomplishments of the Board’s 

objectives. Nominees will be selected 

from experts having experience in 

preventing human diseases and 

disabilities caused by environmental 

conditions. Experts in the disciplines of 

toxicology, epidemiology, 

environmental or occupational 

medicine, behavioral science, risk 

assessment, exposure assessment, and 

experts in public health and other 

related disciplines will be considered. 

Balanced membership will depend 

upon several factors, including: (1) The 

committee’s mission; (2) the geographic, 

ethnic, social, economic, or scientific 

impact of the advisory committee’s 

recommendations; (3) the types of 

specific perspectives required, for 

example, such as those of consumers, 

technical experts, the public at-large, 

academia, business, or other sectors; 

(4) the need to obtain divergent points 

of view on the issues before the advisory 

committee; and (5) the relevance of 

State, local, or tribal governments to the 

development of the advisory 

committee’s recommendations. 

Members may be invited to serve up to 

four-year terms. Nominees must be U.S. 

citizens. 

The following information must be 

submitted for each candidate: name, 

affiliation, address, telephone number, 

and current curriculum vitae. E-mail 

addresses are requested if available.

accepted. 

Candidates invited to serve will be 

asked to submit the ‘‘Confidential 

Financial Disclosure Form for Special 

Government Employees Serving on 

Federal Advisory Committees at the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention.’’ This form allows CDC to 

determine whether there is a statutory 

conflict between that person’s public 

responsibilities as a Special Government 

Employee and private interests and 

activities, or the appearance of a lack of 

impartiality, as defined by Federal 

regulation. The form may be viewed and 

downloaded at http://www.usoge.gov/ 

forms/oge450_pdf/ 

oge450_accessible.pdf. This form 

should not be submitted as part of a 

nomination. 

The Director, Management Analysis 

and Services Office, has been delegated 

the authority to sign Federal Register

Science and Technology (S&T) 

Directorate; Agency Information 

Collection Activities: Submission for 

Review; Information Collection 

Request for the Department of 

Homeland Security (DHS) Science and 

Technology Protected Repository for 

the Defense of Infrastructure Against 

Cyber Threats (PREDICT) Program 

AGENCY: Science and Technology 

Directorate, DHS. 

ACTION: 30-day notice and request for 

comment. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland 

Security invites the general public to 

comment on data collection forms for 

the Protected Repository for the Defense 

of Infrastructure Against Cyber Threats 

(PREDICT) initiative. PREDICT is an 

initiative to facilitate the accessibility of 

computer and network operational data 

for use in cybersecurity defensive 

research and development. Specifically, 

PREDICT provides developers and 

evaluators with regularly updated 

network operations data sources 

relevant to cybersecurity defense 

technology development. The data sets 

are intended to provide developers with 

timely and detailed insight into 

cyberattack phenomena occurring across 

the Internet and in some cases will 

reveal the effects of these attacks on 

networks that are owned or managed by 

the data producers. A key motivation of 

PREDICT is to make these data sources 

more widely available to technology 

developers and evaluators, who today 

often determine the efficacy of their 

technical solutions on anecdotal 

evidence or small-scale test 

experiments, rather than on more 

comprehensive real-world data. The 

PREDICT Web site http:// 

www.predict.org/contains an overview 

and general information as background, 

along with the data repository. As 

specified on the Web site, access to the 

PREDICT data repository is available to 

eligible research groups upon approval 

of their applications. In addition to 

helping to determine whether a group is 

eligible to access the repository, the 

forms will also manage the interactions 

between the PREDICT portal 

administrators and the research groups 

accessing the PREDICT portal. The 

Department is committed to improving 

its PREDICT initiative and invites 

interested persons to comment on the 

following forms and instructions 

(hereinafter ‘‘Forms Package’’) for the 

PREDICT initiative: (1) Account Request

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Interested 

parties can obtain copies of the Forms 

Package by calling or writing the point 

of contact listed above. The content of 

PREDICT is proprietary datasets that 

will be used by the Research community 

in its efforts to build products and 

technologies that will better protect 

America’s computing infrastructure. 

Using a secure Web portal, accessible 

through https://www.predict.org/, the 

PREDICT Coordinating Center manages 

a centralized repository that identifies 

the datasets and their sources and 

location, and acts as gatekeeper for 

access and release of the data. All data 

input to the system is either keyed in by 

users (Data Providers) or migrated (via 

upload of XML files). 

DHS 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) Suggest ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; and 

(4) Suggest ways to 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. 

The user will complete a portion of 

the forms online and submit them 

through the Web site, while some forms 

will be printed from the Web site and 

faxed to a PREDICT portal 

administrator. The entire Forms Package 

will be available on the PREDICT Web 

site found at https://www.predict.org.
