                compliance under subsection 6(c) of this order.

                Sec. 6. Agency Support and Cooperation. (a) To the 
                extent permitted by law and subject to the availability 
                of appropriations, the Secretary shall provide the 
                Committee such administrative services, funds, 
                facilities, staff, and other support services as may be 
                necessary for the performance of its functions under 
                this order.

                    (b) Each agency shall cooperate and comply with the 
                requirements of this order and the policies and 
                standards of the Committee issued pursuant to this 
                order, except in situations in which the Director of 
                National Intelligence, or other United States 
                Intelligence Community official within the Office of 
                the Director of National Intelligence designated by the 
                Director of National Intelligence, determines that 
                compliance would jeopardize intelligence sources and 
                methods. To the extent permitted by law and subject to 
                the availability of appropriations, agencies shall 
                provide such cooperation and compliance as may be 
                necessary to enable the Committee to perform its duties 
                and responsibilities under this order.

(i) Each agency shall designate a senior official who shall be responsible 
for agency implementation of, and compliance with, this order.

(ii) The senior official shall ensure that the official's agency supports 
Facility Security Committees, as applicable, in the performance of the 
official's duties.

                    (c) The Secretary shall monitor agency compliance 
                with the policies and standards of the Committee. 
                Monitoring compliance shall consist, at a minimum, of 
                the following:

[[Page 83811]]

(i) maintaining compliance benchmarks to measure compliance progress;

(ii) requiring periodic compliance reporting by all relevant agencies; and

(iii) conducting risk-based compliance verification.

                    (d) In situations in which a Federal facility is 
                occupied by multiple agencies for both military and 
                nonmilitary activities, and each such occupancy is 
                substantial, those occupants shall coordinate on the 
                security of the facility.

                Sec. 7. Administrative Provision. This order supersedes 
                Executive Order 12977 of October 19, 1995 (Interagency 
                Security Committee), which is hereby revoked. To the 
                extent that this order is inconsistent with any 
                provision of any previous Executive Order or 
                Presidential Memorandum, this order shall control. All 
                policies and standards implemented by the Interagency 
                Security Committee that was established pursuant to 
                Executive Order 12977 shall remain in effect until 
                rescinded or replaced by the Committee established 
                pursuant to this order.
