problems related to implementing
national security and emergency
preparedness telecommunications
policy. Notice of this meeting is given
under the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA), Public Law 92–463 (1972),
as amended appearing in 5 U.S.C. App.
2.
At the upcoming meeting, between 2
p.m. and 2:15 p.m., the conference call
will include government stakeholder
feedback on NSTAC initiatives, and a
status report on NSTAC
Recommendations. This portion of the
meeting will be open to the public.
Between 2:15 p.m. and 3 p.m., the
NSTAC will discuss and vote on the
Global Resiliency Report and receive
three updates from the identity
management, cybersecurity and satellite
network task forces. This portion of the
meeting will be closed to the public.
Persons with disabilities who require
special assistance should indicate this
when arranging access to the
teleconference and are encouraged to
identify anticipated special needs as
early as possible.
Basis for Closure: During the portion
of the meeting to be held from 2:15 p.m.
to 3 p.m., the NSTAC will discuss core
assurance and physical security of the
cyber network, cybersecurity
collaboration between the Federal
government and the private sector,
identity management issues and cyberrelated vulnerabilities of the satellite
network. Such discussions will likely
include internal agency personnel rules
and practices, specifically,
identification of vulnerabilities in the
Federal government’s cyber network,
along with strategies for mitigating those
vulnerabilities and other sensitive law
enforcement or homeland security
information of a predominantly internal
nature which, if disclosed, would
significantly risk circumvention of DHS
regulations or statutes. NSTAC members
will likely inform the discussion by
contributing confidential and
voluntarily-provided commercial
information relating to private sector
network vulnerabilities that they would
not customarily release to the public.
Disclosure of this information can be
reasonably expected to frustrate DHS’s
ongoing cybersecurity programs and
initiatives and could be used to exploit
vulnerabilities in the Federal
government’s cyber network.
Accordingly, the relevant portion of this
meeting will be closed to the public
