The NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications policy. Agenda: The committee will meet in open session to receive briefings on the Federal Government’s use of cloud computing; the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s NS/EP communications requirements; the progress of the Government’s implementation of NSTAC recommendations from the 2011 NSTAC Report to the President on Communications Resiliency and the 2009 NSTAC Report to the President on Commercial Satellite Mission Assurance; and the way forward for the committee’s cloud computing effort. The committee will meet in a closed session to review information on implementation of the National Public Safety Broadband Network as well as secure communications for mobile devices. Basis for Closure: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined that two meeting agenda items require closure as the disclosure of the information would not be in the public interest. The first of these agenda items relates to issues and concerns surrounding the Government’s planning for implementation of the National Public Safety Broadband Network, a nationwide, interoperable network for public safety. The NSTAC will discuss the migration by public safety users from legacy Land Mobile Radio to 4G technologies for their mobile telecommunications needs. The discussion will include a review of the advantages of 4G technologies, and details of various risks. In examining those risks, the NSTAC will address the vulnerabilities the technologies can have, and how the Government can best plan to mitigate those vulnerabilities. Disclosure of these vulnerabilities would provide a road map to criminals who wish to intrude into the system, and perhaps cause the government to deviate from its planned implementation of this system. Therefore, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). Another agenda item will address secure communications for mobile devices. Government officials will share data with NSTAC members on initiatives, assessments, and future technical requirements for networks to be used by the government. The data to be shared includes specific PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 vulnerabilities of various communications modalities and is not public information. Disclosure of this information to the public would provide criminals with the means to disrupt and hack into planned devices. Since this would undermine the ability of the United States to develop secure mobile networks, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. (Pub. L. 92-463). The 
NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national security and 
emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications policy.
    Agenda: The committee will meet in open session to receive 
briefings on the Federal Government's use of cloud computing; the 
Federal Emergency Management Agency's NS/EP communications 
requirements; the progress of the Government's implementation of NSTAC 
recommendations from the 2011 NSTAC Report to the President on 
Communications Resiliency and the 2009 NSTAC Report to the President on 
Commercial Satellite Mission Assurance; and the way forward for the 
committee's cloud computing effort.
    The committee will meet in a closed session to review information 
on implementation of the National Public Safety Broadband Network as 
well as secure communications for mobile devices.
    Basis for Closure: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), Government 
in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined that two meeting agenda 
items require closure as the disclosure of the information would not be 
in the public interest.
    The first of these agenda items relates to issues and concerns 
surrounding the Government's planning for implementation of the 
National Public Safety Broadband Network, a nationwide, interoperable 
network for public safety. The NSTAC will discuss the migration by 
public safety users from legacy Land Mobile Radio to 4G technologies 
for their mobile telecommunications needs. The discussion will include 
a review of the advantages of 4G technologies, and details of various 
risks. In examining those risks, the NSTAC will address the 
vulnerabilities the technologies can have, and how the Government can 
best plan to mitigate those vulnerabilities. Disclosure of these 
vulnerabilities would provide a road map to criminals who wish to 
intrude into the system, and perhaps cause the government to deviate 
from its planned implementation of this system. Therefore, this portion 
of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(9)(B).
    Another agenda item will address secure communications for mobile 
devices. Government officials will share data with NSTAC members on 
initiatives, assessments, and future technical requirements for 
networks to be used by the government. The data to be shared includes 
specific vulnerabilities of various communications modalities and is 
not public information. Disclosure of this information to the public 
would provide criminals with the means to disrupt and hack into planned 
devices. Since this would undermine the ability of the United States to 
develop secure mobile networks, this portion of the meeting is required 
to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
