how best practices for using the 

Framework are being shared, the 

relative value of different parts of the 

Framework, the possible need for an 

update of the Framework, and options 

for the long-term governance of the 

Framework. NIST is extending the 

comment period announced in the 

December 11, 2015 RFI from February 9, 

2016 to February 23, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NIST is 

extending the comment period 

announced in the December 11, 2015 

Request for Information (RFI) (80 FR 

76934) through February 23, 2016. NIST 

is authorized by the Cybersecurity 

Enhancement Act of 2014 1 to ‘‘facilitate 

and support the development of a 

voluntary, consensus-based, industryled set of standards, guidelines, best 

practices, methodologies, procedures, 

and processes to cost-effectively reduce 

cyber risks to critical infrastructure.’’ 2

Executive Order 13636, ‘‘Improving 

Critical Infrastructure Cybersecurity’’ 3

tasked the Secretary of Commerce to 

direct the Director of NIST to lead the 

development of a framework to reduce 

cyber risks to critical infrastructure. A 

final version of Framework 1.0 was 

published on February 12, 2014, after a 

year-long, open process involving 

private and public sector organizations, 

including extensive industry input and 

public comments, and announced in the 

Federal Register (79 FR 9167) on 

February 18, 2014. On December 11, 

2015 NIST published a RFI in the 

Federal Register (80 FR 76934) seeking 

information about the variety of ways in 

which the Framework is being used to 

improve cybersecurity risk management, 

how best practices for using the 

Framework are being shared, the 

relative value of different parts of the 

Framework, the possible need for an 

update of the Framework, and options 

for the long-term governance of the 

Framework. NIST is extending the 

comment period announced in the 

December 11, 2015 RFI from February 9, 

2016 to February 23, 2016 to allow 

comments to be submitted during a 

timeframe in which a variety of 

cybersecurity events are scheduled to 

occur.
