ACTION: Notice of availability and

request for comments.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce

announces the availability of and seeks

public comment on ‘‘Critical

Foundations: Protecting America’s

Infrastructures,’’ the report of the

President’s Commission on Critical

Infrastructure Protection. The

Commission was established by

Executive Order in July 1996 to conduct

a comprehensive study of the physical

and electronic (‘‘cyber’’) threats to and

vulnerabilities of the nation’s critical

infrastructures and recommend a

national policy for protecting the

infrastructures and assuring their

continued operation. The executive

order provided for a Commission

comprised 10 members from the Federal

government and 10 members from

outside the Federal government. When

the Commission terminated on October

13, 1997, some of the Commission’s staff

was retained to assist the Principals

Committee, Steering Committee, and

Advisory Committee in reviewing the

report and preparing recommendations

to the President. Notwithstanding the

substantial public input that went into

development of the Commission’s

findings and recommendations, their

significance makes them worthy of

additional public discussion and

comment.

DATES: Comments should be submitted

no later than January 9, 1998.

REPORT AVAILABILITY AND ADDRESSES:

The report is available electronically

from the Commission’s transition office

site on the World Wide Web: http://

Commission at 703–696–9395.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Executive

Order 13010 of July 15, 1996 (61 FR

37347), as amended, established the

President’s Commission on Critical

Infrastructure Protection and its

associated Principals Committee,

Steering Committee, and Advisory

Committee as described below. A

complete text of the Executive Order

may also be found at the Commission’s

website (http://www.pccip.gov).

A Statement of the Problem

Certain national infrastructures are so

vital that their incapacity or destruction

would have a debilitating impact on the

defense or economic security of the

United States. These critical

infrastructures include

telecommunications, electrical power

systems, gas and oil storage and

transportation, banking and finance,

transportation, water supply systems,

emergency services (including medical,

police, fire, and rescue), and continuity

of government services. Threats to these

critical infrastructures fall into two

categories: physical threats to tangible

property (‘‘physical threats’’), and

threats of electronic, radio-frequency, or

computer-based attacks on the

information or communications
