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 a briefing on the
Federal Government’s current research
and development priorities as they
relate to cybersecurity and NS/EP
communications. Additionally, there
will be a panel discussion on the
nationwide public safety broadband
network (NPSBN). Panelists will discuss
the current implementation status of the
NPSBN, including current initiatives
underway with the First Network
Authority Board. The NSTAC members
will deliberate and vote on their report,
NSTAC Report to the President on the
National Security and Emergency
Preparedness Implications of the
Nationwide Public Safety Broadband
Network, and will be briefed on the
committee’s progress regarding its
report on secure government
communications. Lastly, the NSTAC
will receive feedback from the Executive
Office of the President regarding the
progress of the Government’s
implementation of NSTAC
recommendations from the 2012 NSTAC
Report to the President on Cloud
Computing.
The committee will meet in a closed
session to hear a classified briefing
regarding cybersecurity threats and to
discuss future studies based on
Government’s security priorities and
perceived vulnerabilities.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
5 U.S.C. 552b(c), Government in the
Sunshine Act, it has been determined
that two agenda items require closure as
the disclosure of the information would
not be in the public interest.
The first of these agenda items, the
classified briefing, will provide
members with context on nation-state
capabilities and strategic threats. Such
threats target national communications
infrastructure and impact industry’s
long-term competitiveness and growth,
as well as the Government’s ability to
mitigate threats. Disclosure of these
threats would provide criminals who
wish to intrude into commercial and
Government networks with information
on potential vulnerabilities and
mitigation techniques, weakening
existing cybersecurity defense tactics.
This briefing will be classified at the
Top Secret level, thereby exempting
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
disclosure of the content by statute.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting is
required to be closed pursuant to 5
U.S.C. § 552b(c)(1)(A).
The second agenda item, the
discussion of potential NSTAC study
topics, will address areas of critical
cybersecurity vulnerabilities and
priorities for Government. Government
officials will share data with NSTAC
members on initiatives, assessments,
and future security requirements across
public and private networks. The data to
be shared includes specific
vulnerabilities within cyberspace that
affect the nation’s communications and
information technology infrastructures
and proposed mitigation strategies.
Disclosure of this information to the
public would provide criminals with an
incentive to focus on these
vulnerabilities to increase attacks on our
cyber and communications networks.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting is
likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of proposed DHS
actions and is required to be closed
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
The FACA requires that notices of
meetings of advisory committees be
announced in the Federal Register 15
days prior to the meeting date. However,
this notice of the NSTAC meeting is
being published in the Federal Register
on May 10, 2013, 12 days prior to the
meeting due to the immediate need for
NSTAC’s members to receive a cyberthreat briefing. Notwithstanding the
difficulties that delayed publication,
this NSTAC meeting must occur. The
national security threat that Distributed
Denial of Service/Destructive Malware
represent is increasing in sophistication
and severity and the timing of this
information is critical. Although the
meeting notice was published in the
Federal Register late, the agenda will be
published on the DHS Web site:
www.dhs.gov/nstac and an email will be
sent out to the NSTAC Members.
Dated: May 8, 2013.
Michael A. Echols,
Alternate Designated Federal Officer for the
NSTAC.
