Announcing the Withdrawal of Six (6)
Federal Information Processing
Standards (FIPS)
National Institute of Standards
and Technology (NIST), Commerce.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces the
withdrawal of six Federal Information
Processing Standards (FIPS): FIPS 181,
FIPS 185, FIPS 188, FIPS 190, FIPS 191
and FIPS 196.
These FIPS are obsolete and are being
withdrawn because they have not been
updated to reference current or revised
voluntary industry standards, federal
specifications, or federal data standards.
Federal agencies are responsible for
using current voluntary industry
standards and current federal
specifications and data standards in
their acquisition and management
activities.
SUMMARY:
The withdrawal of FIPS 181,
FIPS 185, FIPS 188, FIPS 190, FIPS 191
and FIPS 196 is effective on October 19,
2015.

pursuant to Section 5131 of the
Information Technology Management
Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–106),
and the Federal Information Security
Management Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–
347).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Information Technology Management
Reform Act of 1996 (Division E of Pub.
L. 104–106) and Executive Order 13011
emphasize agency management of
information technology and
Government-wide interagency support
activities to improve productivity,
security, interoperability, and
coordination of Government resources.
Under the National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act of 1995 (Pub. L.
104–113), Federal agencies and
departments are directed to use
technical standards that are developed
or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies, using such technical
standards as a means to carry out policy
objectives or activities determined by
the agencies and departments.
Voluntary industry standards are the
preferred source of standards to be used
by the Federal government. The use of
voluntary industry standards eliminates
the cost to the government of
developing its own standards, and
furthers the policy of reliance upon the
private sector to supply goods and
services to the government.
A notice was published in the Federal
Register (80 FR 2398) on January 16,
2015, announcing the proposed
withdrawal of FIPS 181, FIPS 185, FIPS
188, FIPS 190, FIPS 191 and FIPS 196.
The Federal Register notice solicited
comments from the public, users, the
information technology industry, and
Federal, State, and local government
organizations concerning the
withdrawal of the FIPS.
Comments were received from one
commenter: an industry organization.
These comments are posted at https://
csrc.nist.gov/publications/
PubsFIPS.html.
Following is a summary of the
comments received.
The single set of comments received
was from an industry organization and
pertained solely to the withdrawal of
FIPS 185, Escrowed Encryption
Standard. The comments supported the
withdrawal of FIPS 185, Escrowed
Encryption Standard. The commenter
stated that the citation of Skipjack as the
reference algorithm, vulnerabilities in
Escrowed Encryption Standards, and
potential for misuse of escrowed
encryption keys were reasons for
supporting the withdrawal of FIPS 185.
No comments were received
concerning the other five standards that
had been proposed for withdrawal.

The FIPS number and title for each of
the six FIPS being withdrawn are:
FIPS 181, Automated Password
Generator,
FIPS 185, Escrowed Encryption
Standard,
FIPS 188, Standard Security Label for
Information Transfer,
FIPS 190, Guideline for the Use of
Advanced Authentication Technology
Alternatives,
FIPS 191, Guideline for the Analysis of
Local Area Network Security, and
FIPS 196, Entity Authentication using
Public Key Cryptography.
Withdrawal means that these FIPS
will no longer be part of a subscription
service that is provided by the National
Technical Information Service, and
federal agencies will no longer be
required to comply with these FIPS.
NIST will continue to provide relevant
information on standards and guidelines
by means of electronic dissemination
methods. Current versions of the data
standards and specifications are
available through the Web pages of the
Federal agencies that develop and
maintain the data codes. NIST will keep
references to these withdrawn FIPS on
its FIPS Web pages, and will link to
current versions of these standards and
specifications where appropriate.

Acting Associate Director for Laboratory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Abstract
In accordance with Executive Order
12862, the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST), a
non-regulatory agency of the
Department of Commerce, proposes to
conduct a number of surveys—both
quantitative and qualitative—designed
to evaluate our current programs from a
customer’s perspective. NIST proposes
to perform program evaluation data
collections by means of, but not limited
to, focus groups, reply cards that
accompany product distributions, and
Web-based surveys and dialogue boxes
that offer customers the opportunity to
express their views on the programs
they are asked to evaluate. NIST will
limit its inquiries to data collections
that solicit strictly voluntary opinions
and will not collect information that is
required or regulated. Steps will be
taken to assure anonymity of
respondents in each activity covered
under this request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 5,000.
Estimated Total Annual Cost to
Public: $0.
IV. Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information shall have
practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden
(including hours and cost) of the
proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection;
they also will become a matter of public
record.
