SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

this meeting is given under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 

(Pub. L. 92–463). The NSTAC advises 

the President on matters related to 

national security and emergency 

preparedness telecommunications 

policy. 

Agenda: The committee will meet in 

open session to receive a briefing on the 

Federal Government’s current 

technology priorities, including 

initiatives to further implement the 

25Point Implementation Plan to reform 

Federal Information Technology 

Management, such as progress made 

towards implementing the 

Government’s Cloud First Policy. 

Additionally, the NSTAC will receive a 

briefing on the Department of 

Commerce’s current initiatives with 

respect to the National Public Safety 

Broadband Network. The NSTAC 

Members will then deliberate and vote 

on their Report to the President on 

Cloud Computing. The members will 

also discuss and vote on the National 

Public Safety Broadband Network 

Subcommittee’s Scoping 

Recommendations Report. Lastly, the 

NSTAC will hear from the Executive 

Office of the President regarding 

potential new taskings for future 

examination and receive feedback 

regarding NSTAC open 

recommendations. Both reports to be 

deliberated and discussed will be 

available for review at www.ncs.gov/

nstac as of May 4, 2012. 

The committee will meet in a closed 

session to hear a classified briefing 

regarding supply chain threats and 

activities. Additionally, the members 

will discuss with senior government 

officials incentives for public-private 

collaboration and the adoption of 

interoperable, standards-based products 

for enterprise-level cybersecurity. 

Basis for Closure: In accordance with 

the Government in the Sunshine Act, 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c), two meeting agenda 

items are determined to require closure 

as the disclosure of the information 

would not be in the public interest. 

The first of these agenda items relates 

to issues and concerns surrounding the 

threats and risks posed by supply chain 

management within the 

telecommunications sector. The briefing 

provided will discuss threats and 

vulnerabilities in addressing all aspects 

of the telecommunications supply 

chain. In examining these risks, the 

NSTAC will address sector 

vulnerabilities and how the Government 

can best plan to mitigate these 

vulnerabilities without impeding 

commerce. Disclosure of these 

vulnerabilities would provide a road 

map to criminals who wish to increase 

threats to the telecommunication 

sector’s supply chain system and 

exacerbate or exploit vulnerabilities that 

Government and the private sector are 

currently working to reduce. Therefore, 

this portion of the meeting is required 

to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(1)(A)(B) and(9)(B). 

The second agenda item will address 

cybersecurity public-private 

collaboration and adoption of 

interoperable standards-based products 

for enterprise-level cybersecurity. 

Government officials will share data 

with NSTAC members on initiatives, 

assessments, and future policy 

requirements for cybersecurity across 

public and private networks. The data to 

be shared includes information on cyber 

risk assessments, identified network 

vulnerabilities and potential plans to 

address those vulnerabilities and is not 

public information. Disclosure of this 

information to the public would provide 

criminals with the means to exploit 

cyber and physical weaknesses that 

might inhibit response, recovery, and 

reconstitution from a degraded network. 

Additionally, disclosure of this 

information may provide incentive to 

increase attacks on networks in areas 

deemed to be vulnerable. Since this 

would undermine the ability of the 

United States to continue ongoing work 

with private sector partners to mitigate 

network vulnerabilities and obtain 

advice from NSTAC, this portion of the 

meeting is required to be closed 

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B). 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(9)(B) and 552b(c)(1)(A)(B), these 

portions of this meeting will be closed 

to the public. 

Dated: April 19, 2012.

Alternate Designated Federal Officer for the 

NSTAC.
