Update to the Trusted Internet 

Connections Initiative 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget. 

ACTION: Notice of public comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: The Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) is seeking public 

comment on a draft memorandum titled, 

‘‘Update to the Trusted Internet 

Connections Initiative.’’ 

DATES: The 30-day public comment 

period on the draft memorandum begins 

on the day it is published in the Federal 

Register and ends 30 days after date of 

publication in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should 

provide comments at the following link: 

https://policy.cio.gov/tic-draft/. The 

Office of Management and Budget is 

located at 725 17th Street NW, 

Washington, DC 20503. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

Office of the Federal Chief Information 

Officer at ofcio@omb.eop.gov or James 

Massot at (202–395–3030) or Tim Wang 

at (202–395–6464). 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB) is 

proposing a policy revision to improve 

and modernize a Federal Cybersecurity 

Initiative. 

In 2007, OMB Memorandum M–08– 

05 established the Trusted Internet 

Connections (TIC) initiative to 

standardize the implementation of 

security capabilities across the Federal 

Executive Branch by implementing 

controlled connections to external 

networks and reducing the overall 

number of those external network 

connections. As the information 

technology landscape has evolved, the 

implementation requirements of the TIC 

initiative have created obstacles for 

agencies to adopt modern cloud 

solutions. 

Pursuant to the Report to the 

President on Federal IT Modernization, 

OMB, in close partnership with DHS 

and GSA, has worked with a number of 

Federal agencies on agency-led TIC 

pilots that have been used to identify 

solutions to current barriers to agency 

cloud adoption. These pilot results have 

directly informed the contents of the 

Update to the Trusted Internet 

Connections (TIC) Initiative 

memorandum. 

The draft OMB M-Memorandum 

included in this package, Update to the 

Trusted Internet Connections (TIC) 

Initiative, updates the TIC initiative by 

focusing on three goals: 

I. Remove Barriers to Cloud and 

Modern Technology Adoption— 

Agencies will have increased flexibility 

in how they meet TIC initiative security 

objectives. In some cases, the TIC 

initiative may entail implementing 

alternative security controls rather than 

routing traffic through a physical TIC 

access point. 

II. Ensure the TIC Initiative Remains 

Agile—Due to the rapid pace that 

technology and cyber threats evolve, 

this memorandum establishes a 

collaborative and iterative process, 

which includes input from both 

industry and Federal agencies, for 

continuously updating the TIC 

initiative’s implementation guidance. 

This process includes ongoing piloting 

and approval of new and innovative 

methods to achieve TIC initiative 

security objectives in the most effective 

and efficient manner. 

III. Streamline and Automate 

Verification Processes—The goal is to 

shift from burdensome, point-in-time, 

manual spot checks to a scalable, 

comprehensive, and continuous 

validation process. 

OMB is seeking public comment on 

this draft memorandum titled ‘‘Update 

to the Trusted Internet Connections 

(TIC) Initiative’’. OMB’s authority to 

issue this guidance and obtain public 

comments is in the Federal Information 

Security Modernization Act of 2014.
