                    DHS established the CIPAC on March 24, 2006 [1]                                          (71 FR 14930).

The CIPAC facilitates interactions between government officials and representatives of owners and/or operators for each of the critical infrastructure sectors established by National Security Memorandum on Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience (NSM-22) and identified in the current National Infrastructure Protection Plan.
