ACTION: Notice of invitation to energy
industry event—Norwegian offshore
opportunities forum.
AGENCY:
March 3, 2005.
TIME: 8 a.m.
LOCATION: The Houstonian Hotel,
Houston, Texas.
SUMMARY: As part of the U.S.-Norway
Oil and Gas Industry Summit in
Houston, the Royal Norwegian Ministry
of Petroleum and Energy and the U.S.
Department of Commerce are pleased to
invite you, or a representative you
designate from your company, to a
breakfast briefing on opportunities on
the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
The briefing will provide offshore
exploration and production companies
with an overview of the resource
potential and the framework conditions
on the NCS.
Although Norway is the third largest
oil exporter in the world, only about 1⁄4
of the total estimated petroleum
resources on the NCS have been
produced. With the large quantities of
petroleum that remain to be discovered,
the NCS offers a variety of oil and gas
opportunities in both established and
frontier basins. Norway also has a well
established and competitive petroleum
industry, predictable and transparent
framework conditions, and an
approachable and skilled public
administration.
8 a.m.—Breakfast.
8:15 a.m.—Welcome and Opening
Remarks.
Ms. Thorild Widvey, Norwegian
Minister of Petroleum and Energy
Official from the U.S. Department
of Commerce.
8:30 a.m.—The Resource Potential on
the NCS.
Ms. Bente Nyland, Director,
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.
8:45 a.m.—The Framework Conditions
on the NCS.
Mr. Gunnar Gjerde, Director General,
Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum
and Energy.
9:15 a.m.—Experiences of a U.S. Entrant
to the NCS.

[Docket No. 041217352–4352–01]
Announcing Development of Federal
Information Processing Standard
(FIPS) 140–3, a Revision of FIPS 140–
2, Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), Commerce.
ACTION: Notice; request for comments.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The National Institute of
Standards and Technology announces
that it plans to develop Federal
Information Processing Standard (FIPS)
140–3, which will supersede FIPS 140–
2, Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules. FIPS 140–2,
approved by the Secretary of Commerce
and announced in the Federal Register
(June 27, 2001, Volume 66, Number 124,
Pages 34154–34155), identifies
requirements for four levels of security
for cryptographic modules that are
utilized by Federal agencies to protect
the security of Federal information
systems. The Federal Information
Security Management Act (FISMA)
(Public Law 107–347) requires that all
Federal agencies and their contractors
use only those cryptographic-based
security systems that were validated to
FIPS 140–2 or to its predecessor, FIPS
140–1.
DATES: Comments on new and revised
requirements for FIPS 140–3 must be
received on or before Febrary 28, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be sent
electronically to FIPS140–3@nist.gov, or

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
FIPS 140–
2, Security Requirements for
Cryptographic Modules, superseded
FIPS 140–1, which had been issued in
1994. FIPS 140–1 specified that the
standard be reviewed within five years
to consider its continued usefulness and
to determine whether new or revised
requirements should be added. NIST
conducted a review of FIPS 140–1 in
1998–99, and the standard was
reaffirmed as FIPS 140–2 in 2001 with
technical modifications to address
technological advances that had
occurred since FIPS 140–1 had been
issued.
FIPS 140–2 identifies requirements
for four increasing, qualitative levels of
security for cryptographic modules. The
four security levels cover a wide range
of potential applications and a wide
spectrum of information types,
including data with the potential to
cause low, moderate and serious
impacts on organizations should there
be a loss of confidentiality, integrity or
availability of the data. In 1995, NIST
and the Communications Security
Establishment (CSE) of the Government
of Canada established the Cryptographic
Module Validation Program (CMVP) to
validate cryptographic modules to FIPS
140–1 and other cryptography-based
standards. Nearly 500 cryptographic
modules and many implementations of
cryptographic algorithms have been
tested by National Voluntary Laboratory
Accreditation Program (NVLAP)
accredited, independent third-party
laboratories and have been validated.
Products validated by this program are
used in Canada, the U.S., and many
other countries. Federal government
agencies are required to acquire
products that have been validated under
the CMVP when they use cryptographicbased security systems to protect their
information. The CMVP enables vendors
of cryptographic products to use a
common standard and a common testing
