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.

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 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 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.
