Designated Federal Officer, Department

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 (NS/EP) 

telecommunications policy. 

Agenda: The committee will meet in 

open session to receive a briefing on the 

Federal Government’s current research 

and development priorities as they 

relate to cybersecurity and NS/EP 

communications. Additionally, there 

will be a panel discussion on the 

nationwide public safety broadband 

network (NPSBN). Panelists will discuss 

the current implementation status of the 

NPSBN, including current initiatives 

underway with the First Network 

Authority Board. The NSTAC members 

will deliberate and vote on their report, 

NSTAC Report to the President on the 

National Security and Emergency 

Preparedness Implications of the 

Nationwide Public Safety Broadband 

Network, and will be briefed on the 

committee’s progress regarding its 

report on secure government 

communications. Lastly, the NSTAC 

will receive feedback from the Executive 

Office of the President regarding the 

progress of the Government’s 

implementation of NSTAC 

recommendations from the 2012 NSTAC 

Report to the President on Cloud 

Computing. 

The committee will meet in a closed 

session to hear a classified briefing 

regarding cybersecurity threats and to 

discuss future studies based on 

Government’s security priorities and 

perceived vulnerabilities. 

Basis for Closure: In accordance with 

5 U.S.C. 552b(c), Government in the 

Sunshine Act, it has been determined 

that two agenda items require closure as 

the disclosure of the information would 

not be in the public interest. 

The first of these agenda items, the 

classified briefing, will provide 

members with context on nation-state 

capabilities and strategic threats. Such 

threats target national communications 

infrastructure and impact industry’s 

long-term competitiveness and growth, 

as well as the Government’s ability to 

mitigate threats. Disclosure of these 

threats would provide criminals who 

wish to intrude into commercial and 

Government networks with information 

on potential vulnerabilities and 

mitigation techniques, weakening 

existing cybersecurity defense tactics. 

This briefing will be classified at the 

Top Secret level, thereby exempting 

disclosure of the content by statute. 

Therefore, this portion of the meeting is 

required to be closed pursuant to 5 

U.S.C. § 552b(c)(1)(A). 

The second agenda item, the 

discussion of potential NSTAC study 

topics, will address areas of critical 

cybersecurity vulnerabilities and 

priorities for Government. Government 

officials will share data with NSTAC 

members on initiatives, assessments, 

and future security requirements across 

public and private networks. The data to 

be shared includes specific 

vulnerabilities within cyberspace that 

affect the nation’s communications and 

information technology infrastructures 

and proposed mitigation strategies. 

Disclosure of this information to the 

public would provide criminals with an 

incentive to focus on these 

vulnerabilities to increase attacks on our 

cyber and communications networks. 

Therefore, this portion of the meeting is 

likely to significantly frustrate 

implementation of proposed DHS 

actions and is required to be closed 

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

The FACA requires that notices of 

meetings of advisory committees be 

announced in the Federal Register 15 

days prior to the meeting date. However, 

this notice of the NSTAC meeting is 

being published in the Federal Register 

on May 10, 2013, 12 days prior to the 

meeting due to the immediate need for 

NSTAC’s members to receive a cyberthreat briefing. Notwithstanding the 

difficulties that delayed publication, 

this NSTAC meeting must occur. The 

national security threat that Distributed 

Denial of Service/Destructive Malware 

represent is increasing in sophistication 

and severity and the timing of this 

information is critical. Although the 

meeting notice was published in the 

Federal Register late, the agenda will be 

published on the DHS Web site: 

www.dhs.gov/nstac and an email will be 

sent out to the NSTAC Members. 

Dated: May 8, 2013. 

Michael A. Echols, 

Alternate Designated Federal Officer for the 

NSTAC.
