Notice
Summary
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is asking for public feedback on how they collect opinions about national security and emergency messages. This helps make sure their communications are clear and useful without causing extra hassle. Comments are open until July 6, 2026, and no costs or big changes are expected.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Large-Scale Feedback Collection for Emergency Communications
CISA will collect qualitative feedback from federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and industry users about national security and emergency preparedness communications. The notice estimates up to 10,000,000 customer satisfaction/feedback survey respondents (30 minutes each), 1,899,000 comment-card respondents (10 minutes each), 100,000 self-assessment respondents (30 minutes each), and 1,000 small-panel participants (1 hour each).
Estimated Burden Hours and Dollar Costs
The agency reports total estimated burden of 5,368,133 hours for these collections and estimates total burden costs of $292,350,840 (capital/startup) and $68,076.83 (operating/maintaining).
Small Businesses May Be Surveyed; Burden Minimization Promised
Small businesses or other small entities may be asked to provide feedback under this clearance, and the Agency says it will minimize burden on them by sampling, asking for readily available information, and using short, easy-to-complete instruments.
