SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Notice of CIPAC Renewal: On March 

19, 2010, the Secretary of Homeland 

Security extended CIPAC for a period of 

two years. The current CIPAC charter 

reflecting the Secretary’s action is 

available on the CIPAC Web site. 

Purpose and Activities: CIPAC 

facilitates interaction between 

government officials and representatives 

of the community of owners and 

operators for each of the critical 

infrastructure and key resources (CIKR) 

sectors defined by Homeland Security 

Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD–7) and 

identified in the National Infrastructure 

Protection Plan (NIPP). The scope of 

activities covered by CIPAC includes 

planning; coordinating among 

government and CIKR owner/operator 

security partners; implementing security 

program initiatives; conducting 

operational activities related to critical 

infrastructure protection security 

measures, incident response, recovery, 

and infrastructure resilience; 

reconstituting CIKR assets and systems 

for both man-made and naturally 

occurring events; and sharing threat, 

vulnerability, risk mitigation, and 

infrastructure continuity information. 

Organizational Structure: CIPAC 

members are organized into the 18 

HSPD–7 CIKR sectors. Within all of the 

sectors containing CIKR owner/ 

operators, there generally exists a Sector 

Coordinating Council (SCC) that 

includes CIKR owners and/or operators 

or their representative trade 

associations. Each of the sectors also has 

a Government Coordinating Council 

(GCC) whose membership includes a 

lead Federal agency that is defined as 

the Sector Specific Agency (SSA), and 

all of the relevant Federal, State, local, 

tribal, and/or territorial government 

agencies (or their representative bodies) 

whose mission interests also involve the 

scope of the CIPAC activities for that 

particular sector. 

Membership: CIPAC Membership 

includes (i) CIKR owner and/or operator 

members of an SCC; (ii) trade 

associations representing the interests of 

CIKR owners and/or operators that own 

and invest in infrastructure assets or in 

the systems and processes to secure 

them, or representing CIKR owners and/ 

or operators whom are held responsible 

by the public for CIKR operations and 

the response and recovery when their 

CIKR assets and systems are disrupted 

who are members of an SCC; (iii) each 

sector’s GCC; and (iv), based upon DHS’ 

recent establishment of this council, 

State, local, tribal, and territorial 

governmental officials comprising the 

DHS State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial 

GCC. 

CIPAC Membership Roster and 

Council Information: The current roster 

of CIPAC membership is published on 

the CIPAC Web site (http:// 

www.dhs.gov/cipac) and is updated as 

the CIPAC membership changes. 

Members of the public may visit the 

CIPAC Web site at any time to obtain 

current CIPAC membership as well as 

the current and historic list of CIPAC 

meetings and agendas.

agency’s estimate of the burden; 

(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and
