public to comment on new data
collection forms for the Protected

development through the establishment
of distributed repositories of securityrelevant network operations data, and
the application procedures, protection

computer network operational data,
provide secure access to multiple
sources of data collected as a result of
use and traffic on the Internet, and
facilitate data flow among PREDICT
participants for the purpose of
developing new models, technologies
and products that support effective
threat assessment and increase cyber
security capabilities. The Department is

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 data collection on those
who respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
