SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CISA published the required 30-day notice for ICR 1670-0014 in the Federal Register on June 23, 2021. See 86 FR 32953. The June 23, 2021 notice incorrectly instructed the public to submit comments using the Federal eRulemaking Portal. The correct instructions are provided in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. Any comments that are submitted using the Federal eRulemaking Portal will be forwarded to the OMB Desk Officer by CISA. The June 23, 2021 notice provided a nonworking phone number for the point of contact; therefore, an updated phone number has been provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. The June 23, 2021 notice also indicated that the comment period would be open for 60 days, instead of 30 days. The comment period has been updated in the DATES section of this notice. Public comments will be accepted for 30 days after the publication date of this corrective notice. Finally, CISA clarifies that it received one nongermane comment in response to the 60-day notice for ICR 1670-0014.^[4]
