Abstract: The CMMC Program provides for the assessment of contractor implementation of cybersecurity requirements to enhance confidence in contactor protection of unclassified information within the DoD supply chain. CMMC contractual requirements are implemented under a Title 48 acquisition rule, with associated rulemaking for the CMMC Program requirements (e.g., CMMC Scoring Methodology, certificate issuance, information accessibility) under a Title 32 program rule (32 CFR Part 170). The CMMC Title 32 program rule includes two separate information collection requests (ICR), one for the CMMC Program and this one for CMMC eMASS. The CMMC instantiation of eMASS is the electronic collection mechanism for collecting CMMC program data, which provides the Department of Defense (DoD) visibility of the CMMC Levels 2 and 3 certification assessment results. This information collection is necessary to support the implementation of the CMMC assessment process for CMMC Level 2 and Level 3 certification assessments, as defined in 32 CFR 170.17 and 170.18 respectively.
