• Railroad Rolling Stock Manufacturing.
• Other Transportation Equipment Manufacturing.
IV. Incorporation of the Critical
Manufacturing Sector Into the NIPP
Framework
The NIPP framework includes a SCC
within all of the sectors containing
private sector CIKR owners and/or
operators. The SCC includes CIKR
owners and/or operators and private
industry trade associations
representative of CIKR owners and/or
operators. By policy, SCCs are selfcreated and self-led entities, and DHS
encourages public engagement in the
development of the Critical
Manufacturing SCC. Each of the sectors
also has a GCC whose membership
includes a lead Federal agency that is
defined as the SSA, and all of the
relevant Federal, State, local, Tribal, and
Territorial government agencies (or their
representative trade associations) whose
mission interests also involve the scope
of the NIPP activities for that particular
sector. As directed and authorized by
section 4.1.1 of the NIPP (National-Level
Coordination), the Assistant Secretary,
Office of Infrastructure Protection will
assume interim leadership in supporting
the development of an SCC and
coordinating the development of a GCC,
and identify an SSA to meet the
requirements of HSPD–7 and the NIPP.
At the conclusion of the above
process, the Secretary will identify the
GCC government agency membership
and designate a Federal agency as the
SSA. The SSA, SCC, and GCC will
thereafter comprise the Critical
Manufacturing Sector and continue to
organize and coordinate in order to
accommodate the intent of the NIPP and
full integration into the CIKR Sector
Partnership.
As the NIPP is the primary
mechanism for coordinating the
coverage of CIKR sectors and their
constituent systems and assets, DHS
will revise its contents to include the
Critical Manufacturing CIKR sector. As
part of a comprehensive national
review, DHS seeks comments on
changes to the NIPP to reflect the
addition of the Critical Manufacturing
sector. These changes will include
adding the Critical Manufacturing sector
and its SSA to those sections of the
NIPP where sectors and their SSAs are
listed, referenced, or described. DHS
will also amend the last sentence of the
definition of ‘‘Sector’’ in the Glossary to
read, ‘‘The NIPP addresses the 17 CIKR
sectors enumerated in HSPD–7 and any
VerDate Aug<31>2005

additional sectors created by the
Secretary of Homeland Security
