SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of
this meeting is given under the Federal
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:21 May 16, 2011
Jkt 223001
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
PO 00000

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).
