Discussion
CRADAs are authorized under 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).1 A CRADA promotes the
transfer of technology to the private
sector for commercial use, as well as
specified research or development
efforts that are consistent with the
mission of the Federal parties to the
CRADA. The Federal party or parties
agree with one or more non-Federal
parties to share research resources, but
the Federal party does not contribute
funding.
CRADAs are not procurement
contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the
contracting process. CRADAs have a
specific purpose and should not be
confused with procurement contracts,
grants, and other type of agreements.
Under the proposed CRADA, the
Coast Guard’s Research and
Development Center (R&DC) will
collaborate with one or more nonFederal participants. Together, the
R&DC and the non-Federal participants
will identify the capabilities, benefits,
risks, and technical limitations of
enhancing air surveillance radar
systems.
1 The statute confers this authority on the head of
each Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS’s
authority is delegated to the Coast Guard and other
DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.

We anticipate that the Coast Guard’s
contributions under the proposed
CRADA will include the following:
(1) Provide end user input on
operational needs and assessment of
system performance;
(2) In conjunction with the nonFederal participant(s), assist in
developing the evaluation test plan to be
executed to meet the objectives of the
CRADA;
(3) Provide qualified UAS operators
for operation of UAS, as required under
the CRADA;
(4) Provide the test range, test range
support, facilities, and all approvals for
operation of UAS as required under the
CRADA;
(5) In conjunction with the nonFederal participant(s), assist with the
development of a final report or brief
that documents the methodologies,
findings, conclusions, and
recommendations under this CRADA.
We anticipate that the non-Federal
participants’ contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the
following:
(1) Provide the air surveillance radar
system and all other equipment required
to conduct the evaluation as described
in the test plan developed under this
CRADA;
(2) Provide operators, as required, to
operate and maintain the equipment to
conduct the evaluation as described in
the test plan;
(3) Provide shipment and delivery of
all equipment for this evaluation;
(4) Provide personnel, travel, and
other associated expenses as required;
(5) Collect and analyze evaluation test
plan data; and
(6) Collaboratively develop a final
report documenting the methodologies,
findings, conclusions, and
recommendations of this CRADA work.
The Coast Guard reserves the right to
select for CRADA participants all, some,
or no proposals submitted for this
CRADA. The Coast Guard will provide
no funding for reimbursement of
proposal development costs. Proposals
and any other material submitted in
response to this notice will not be
returned. Proposals submitted are
expected to be unclassified and have no
more than five single-sided pages
(excluding cover page, DD 1494, JF–12,
etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the
basis of:
(1) How well they communicate an
understanding of, and ability to meet,
the proposed CRADA’s goal; and
(2) How well they address the
following criteria:
(a) Technical capability to support the
non-Federal party contributions
described; and

PO 00000

(b) Resources available for supporting
the non-Federal party contributions
described.
Currently, RADA Technologies LLC is
being considered for participation in
this CRADA because they have an air
surveillance radar system solution in
place for providing track classification
and discrimination. However, we do not
wish to exclude other viable
participants from this or future similar
CRADAs.
The goal of this CRADA is to evaluate
track classification and discrimination
technology and address its ability to
perform specific operations. Special
consideration will be given to small
business firms/consortia, and preference
will be given to business units located
in the U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Homeland Security Act of 2002, as
amended, established ‘‘a national
cybersecurity and communications
integration center [‘‘the Center,’’ now
constituted as CSD] . . . to carry out
certain responsibilities of the Under
Secretary,’’ including the provision of
assessments. 6 U.S.C. 659(b). The Act
also directs the composition of the
Center to include an entity that
collaborates with State and local
governments on cybersecurity risks and
incidents and has entered into a
voluntary information sharing
relationship with the Center. 6 U.S.C.
659(d)(1)(E). The Multistate Information
Sharing and Analysis Center (MS–ISAC)
currently fulfills this function. CSD
funds the MS–ISAC through a
Cooperative Agreement and maintains a
close relationship with this entity. As
part of the Cooperative Agreement,
CISA directs the MS–ISAC to produce
the NCSR as contemplated by Congress.
Generally, CSD has authority to
perform risk and vulnerability
assessments for Federal and non-Federal
entities, with consent and upon request.
CSD performs these assessments in
accordance with its authority to provide
voluntary technical assistance to
Federal and non-Federal entities. See 6
U.S.C. 659(c)(6). This authority is
consistent with the Department’s
responsibility to ‘‘[c]onduct
comprehensive assessments of the
vulnerabilities of the Nation’s critical
infrastructure in coordination with the
SSAs [Sector-Specific Agencies] and in

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001

collaboration with SLTT [State, Local,
Tribal, and Territorial] entities and
critical infrastructure owners and
operators.’’ Presidential Policy Directive
(PPD)–21, at 3. A private sector entity or
state and local government agency also
has discretion to use a self-assessment
tool offered by CSD or request CSD to
perform an on-site risk and vulnerability
assessment. See 6 U.S.C. 659(c)(6). The
NCSR is a voluntary annual selfassessment.
In its reports to the Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Act,
2010, Congress requested a Nationwide
Cyber Security Review (NCSR) from the
National Cyber Security Division
(NCSD), the predecessor organization of
the Cybersecurity Division (CSD). S.
Rep. No. 111–31, at 91 (2009), H.R. Rep.
No. 111–298, at 96 (2009). The House
Conference Report accompanying the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations Act, 2010 ‘‘note[d] the
importance of a comprehensive effort to
assess the security level of cyberspace at
all levels of government’’ and directed
DHS to ‘‘develop the necessary tools for
all levels of government to complete a
cyber network security assessment so
that a full measure of gaps and
capabilities can be completed in the
near future.’’ H.R. Rep. No. 111–298, at
96 (2009). Concurrently, in its report
accompanying the Department of
Homeland Security Appropriations Bill,
2010, the Senate Committee on
Appropriations recommended that DHS
‘‘report on the status of cyber security
measures in place, and gaps in all 50
States and the largest urban areas.’’ S.
Rep. No. 111–31, at 91 (2009).
Upon submission of the first NCSR
report in March 2012, Congress further
clarified its expectation ‘‘that this
survey will be updated every other year
so that progress may be charted and
further areas of concern may be
identified.’’ S. Rep. No. 112–169, at 100
(2012). In each subsequent year,
Congress has referenced this NCSR in its
explanatory comments and
recommendations accompanying the
Department of Homeland Security
Appropriations. Consistent with
Congressional mandates, CSD
developed the NCSR to measure the
gaps and capabilities of cybersecurity
programs within SLTT governments.
Using the anonymous results of the
NCSR, CISA delivers a bi-annual
summary report to Congress that
provides a broad picture of the current
cybersecurity gaps & capabilities of
SLTT governments across the nation.
The assessment allows SLTT
governments to manage cybersecurity
related risks through the NIST
Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) which

PO 00000

Frm 00046

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

consists of best practices, standards, and
guidelines. In efforts of continuously
providing Congress with an accurate
representation of the SLTT gaps and
capabilities the NCSR question set may
slightly change from year-to-year.
The NCSR is an annual voluntary selfassessment that is hosted on
LogicManager, which is a technology
platform that provides a foundation for
managing policies, controls, risks,
assessments, and deficiencies across
organizational lines of business. The
NCSR self-assessment runs every year
from October–February. In efforts to
increase participation, the deadline is
sometimes extended. The target
audience for the NCSR are personnel
within the SLTT community who are
responsible for the cybersecurity
management within their organization.
Through the NCSR, CISA and MS–
ISAC will examine relationships,
interactions, and processes governing IT
management and the ability to
effectively manage operational risk.
Using the anonymous results of the
NCSR, CISA delivers a biannual
summary report to Congress that
provides a broad picture of the
cybersecurity gaps and capabilities of
SLTT governments across the nation.
The bi-annual summary report is shared
with MS–ISAC members, NCSR End
Users, and Congress. The report is also
available on the MS–ISAC website,
https://www.cisecurity.org/ms-isac/
services/ncsr/.
Upon submission of the NCSR selfassessment, participants will
immediately receive access to several
reports specific to their organization and
their cybersecurity posture.
Additionally, after the annual NCSR
survey closes, there will be a brief NCSR
End User Survey offered to everyone
who completed the NSCR assessment.
The survey will provide feedback on
participants’ experiences, such as how
they heard about the NCSR, what they
found or did not find useful, how they
will utilize the results of their
assessment, and other information about
their current and future interactions
with the NCSR.
The NCSR assessment requires
approximately two hours for completion
and is located on the LogicManager
Platform. During the assessment period,
participants can respond at their own
pace with the ability to save their
progress during each session. If
additional support is needed,
participants can contact the NCSR
helpdesk via phone and email.
The NCSR End User survey will be
fully electronic. It contains less than 30
multiple choice and fill-in-the-blank
answers and takes approximately 10

minutes to complete. The feedback
survey will be administered via Survey
Monkey and settings will be updated to
opt out of collecting participants’ IP
addresses. There are no recordkeeping,
capital, start-up, or maintenance costs
associated with this information
collection. There is no submission or
filing fee associated with this collection.
As all forms are completed via the
LogicManager platform and
SurveyMonkey, there are no associated
collection, printing, or mailing costs.
This is a renewal for an existing
information collection not a new
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.
