SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On Thursday April 20, 2023, CISA published a Federal Register notice requesting comments for 30 days through www.reginfo.gov/​public/​do/​PRAMain.^[4] The ability to submit comments was not available through the designated website until Monday April 24, 2023, a delay of four days.

Under 5 CFR 1320.10(b), the public must be provided at least 30 days for public comment after OMB's receipt of the proposed collection of information.
