Short Statement: There are no program changes or adjustments reported items 13 or 14. The minor revisions to the burden estimates described in question 1 of this document and again here: • Minor revisions to all five instruments that reflect the passage of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Act of 2018, 6 U.S.C. §§ 651-74, such as updating the Agency name to conform with the Agency’s new designation as CISA, as well as provide clearer descriptions of the scope of each instrument. CISA is not proposing changes to the scope of any instrument. • Updated the number of respondents for all instruments based on historical data collected related to these instruments between CY2018 and CY2021. • Updated the number of responses per respondent for two instruments (i.e., Request for an Extension and Compliance Assistance) based on historical data collected between CY2018 and CY2020. • An increase of the annual reporting and recordkeeping hour and cost burden due to an increase in the respondent wage rate from $79.75/hour to $85.82/hour, which is based on updated Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data. • An increase of the overall total annual operating cost to the Federal Government for this collection from $957,562 to $1,001,189 based on the projected costs for Government Full-time Equivalent (FTE) salaries that is reflected in the Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) 2020 General Schedule Locality Pay Table.
