Supplementary information
Everything that I find concerning "porté à connaissance" involves prevention for some kind of hazard (technological, environmental, industrial). It is always some kind of additional information or at least a source of where to find additional information concerning the prevention and the hazard involved. I suggest "supplementary information", as I found it in many equivalent documents in English.
