SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

GSA, in compliance with the 

FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022, 

established the FSCAC, a statutory 

advisory committee in accordance with 

the provisions of FACA (5 U.S.C. 10). 

The Federal Risk and Authorization 

Management Program (FedRAMP) 

within GSA is responsible for providing 

a standardized, reusable approach to 

security assessment and authorization 

for cloud computing products and 

services that process unclassified 

information used by agencies. 

The FSCAC will provide advice and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and 

agencies on technical, financial, 

programmatic, and operational matters 

regarding the secure adoption of cloud 

computing products and services. The 

FSCAC will ensure effective and 

ongoing coordination of agency 

adoption, use, authorization, 

monitoring, acquisition, and security of 

cloud computing products and services 

to enable agency mission and 

administrative priorities. The purposes 

of the Committee are: 

• To examine the operations of 

FedRAMP and determine ways that 

authorization processes can 

continuously be improved, including 

the following: 

Æ Measures to increase agency reuse 

of FedRAMP authorizations. 

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden, 

confusion, and cost associated with 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

service providers. 

Æ Measures to increase the number of 

FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 

computing products and services 

offered by small businesses concerns (as 

defined by section 3(a) of the Small 

Business Act (15 U.S.C. 632(a)). 

Æ Proposed actions that can be 

adopted to reduce the burden and cost 

of FedRAMP authorizations for 

agencies. 

• Collect information and feedback 

on agency compliance with, and 

implementation of, FedRAMP 

requirements. 

• Serve as a forum that facilitates 

communication and collaboration 

among the FedRAMP stakeholder 

community. 

The FSCAC will meet no fewer than 

three (3) times a calendar year. Meetings 

shall occur as frequently as needed, 

called, and approved by the DFO. 

Purpose of the Meeting and Agenda 

As a continuation of the FSCAC 

meeting series from October 19, 2023 

through November 9, 2023, the January 

18, 2024 public meeting will be 

dedicated to the Committee members 

reviewing their finalized feedback 

regarding their initial recommendations 

to the GSA Administrator and to vote on 

their deliverable to the GSA 

Administrator. The Committee will 

provide initial recommendations on 

their priority initiatives, to include 

authorization path improvements, 

continuous monitoring (ConMon) 

process improvements, and automation 

initiatives and opportunities. The
