SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

NSTAC advises the President on issues 

and problems related to implementing 

national security and emergency 

preparedness telecommunications 

policy. Notice of this meeting is given 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), Pub. L. 92–463, as 

amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.). 

At the upcoming meeting, between 2 

p.m. and 2:20 p.m., the members will 

receive comments from government 

stakeholders and receive an update from 

the NSTAC’s Emergency 

Communications and Interoperability 

Task Force (ECITF). This portion of the 

meeting will be open to the public. 

Between 2:20 p.m. and 3 p.m., the 

committee will discuss and vote on the 

Global Infrastructure Resiliency (GIR) 

Report and discuss NSTAC’s Influenza 

Pandemic Study. This portion of the 

meeting will be closed to the public. 

Persons with disabilities who require 

special assistance should indicate this 

when arranging access to the 

teleconference and are encouraged to 

identify anticipated special needs as 

early as possible. 

Basis for Closure: The GIR discussion 

will likely involve sensitive 

infrastructure information concerning 

system threats and explicit physical/ 

cyber vulnerabilities related to current 

communications capabilities. The 

discussion on NSTAC’s Influenza 

Pandemic Study will likely involve 

sensitive information concerning 

prioritization of critical infrastructure 

capabilities, and the use of vaccines and 

medications. Public disclosure of such 

information would heighten awareness 

of potential vulnerabilities and increase 

the likelihood of exploitation by 

terrorists or other motivated adversaries. 

Pursuant to Section 10(d) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 

92–463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1 et 

seq.), the Department has determined 

that this discussion will concern matters 

which, if disclosed, would be likely to 

frustrate significantly the 

implementation of a proposed agency 

action. Accordingly, the relevant 

portion of this meeting will be closed to 

the public pursuant to the authority set 

forth in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). 

Dated: September 13, 2006.

Operating Cost Adjustment Factors 

(OCAFs) for Section 8 rent adjustments 

at contract renewal under section 524 of 

the Multifamily Assisted Housing 

Reform and Affordability Act of 1997 

(MAHRA), as amended by the 

Preserving Affordable Housing for 

Senior Citizens and Families into the 

21st Century Act of 1999, and under the 

Low-Income Housing Preservation and 

Resident Homeownership Act of 1990 

(LIHPRHA) Projects assisted with 

Section 8 Housing Assistance Payments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Operating Cost Adjustment Factors 

(OCAFs) 

Section 514(e)(2) of MAHRA requires 

HUD to establish guidelines for rent 

adjustments based on an operating cost 

adjustment factor (OCAF). The 

legislation requiring HUD to establish 

OCAFs for LIHPRHA projects and 

projects with contract renewals under 

section 524 of MAHRA is similar in 

wording and intent. HUD has therefore 

developed a single factor to be applied 

uniformly to all projects utilizing
