The Sector Outreach and Programs (SOP)
uses the information collected to reserve space at a meeting for
the registrant; contact the registrant with a reminder about the
event; develop meeting materials for attendees; determine topics of
most interest; and efficiently generate attendee and speaker
nametags. Additionally, it allows SOP to have a better
understanding of the organizations participating in the critical
infrastructure protection partnership events. By understanding who
is participating, the Sector Specific Agency (SSA) can identify
portions of a sector that are underrepresented, and the SSA could
then target that underrepresented sector elements through outreach
and awareness initiatives.

In addition to the removal of
historically retained fields that collect redundant or unnecessary
information and updating existing fields for accuracy and ease of
use, additional fields has been added. These additional data fields
are not anticipated to increase the burden per response. Open field
to input the registrant’s company website. The annual burden cost
for the collection has increased by $5,751 from $1,802 to $7,533,
due to the shift to a hybrid event with additional virtual
attendees, as well as updated compensation rates. The annual
government cost for the collection has increased by $53,757, from
$8,347 to $62,104, due to an increase in the number of
registrations from the transition to a hybrid event. This increase
is despite a decrease in the cost per registrant from $7.19 to
$3.29 per registrant.
