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 telecommunications policy. Agenda: The committee will meet in open session to receive a briefing on the Federal Government’s current technology priorities, including initiatives to further implement the 25Point Implementation Plan to reform Federal Information Technology VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:14 Apr 24, 2012 Jkt 226001 Management, such as progress made towards implementing the Government’s Cloud First Policy. Additionally, the NSTAC will receive a briefing on the Department of Commerce’s current initiatives with respect to the National Public Safety Broadband Network. The NSTAC Members will then deliberate and vote on their Report to the President on Cloud Computing. The members will also discuss and vote on the National Public Safety Broadband Network Subcommittee’s Scoping Recommendations Report. Lastly, the NSTAC will hear from the Executive Office of the President regarding potential new taskings for future examination and receive feedback regarding NSTAC open recommendations. Both reports to be deliberated and discussed will be available for review at www.ncs.gov/ nstac as of May 4, 2012. The committee will meet in a closed session to hear a classified briefing regarding supply chain threats and activities. Additionally, the members will discuss with senior government officials incentives for public-private collaboration and the adoption of interoperable, standards-based products for enterprise-level cybersecurity. Basis for Closure: In accordance with the Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c), two meeting agenda items are determined to 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 threats and risks posed by supply chain management within the telecommunications sector. The briefing provided will discuss threats and vulnerabilities in addressing all aspects of the telecommunications supply chain. In examining these risks, the NSTAC will address sector vulnerabilities and how the Government can best plan to mitigate these vulnerabilities without impeding commerce. Disclosure of these vulnerabilities would provide a road map to criminals who wish to increase threats to the telecommunication sector’s supply chain system and exacerbate or exploit vulnerabilities that Government and the private sector are currently working to reduce. Therefore, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)(A)(B) and(9)(B). The second agenda item will address cybersecurity public-private collaboration and adoption of interoperable standards-based products for enterprise-level cybersecurity. Government officials will share data PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 24729 with NSTAC members on initiatives, assessments, and future policy requirements for cybersecurity across public and private networks. The data to be shared includes information on cyber risk assessments, identified network vulnerabilities and potential plans to address those vulnerabilities and is not public information. Disclosure of this information to the public would provide criminals with the means to exploit cyber and physical weaknesses that might inhibit response, recovery, and reconstitution from a degraded network. Additionally, disclosure of this information may provide incentive to increase attacks on networks in areas deemed to be vulnerable. Since this would undermine the ability of the United States to continue ongoing work with private sector partners to mitigate network vulnerabilities and obtain advice from NSTAC, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) and 552b(c)(1)(A)(B), these portions of this meeting will be closed to the public. Dated: April 19, 2012. Allen F.
