The final draft for public comment of the new revision 3 of NIST Special Publication 800-171, Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Systems and Organizations, is now available. Public comment is open through January 12, 2024. This is important for the management of a range of data, including research data, in higher education settings. See

https://csrc.nist.gov/pubs/sp/800/171/r3/fpd

this includes pointers to the document and an analysis of changes between the first draft for public comment and the current version. A large number of comments were submitted on the earlier draft.

My thanks to Gary Price for catching this one.
