                Information Age''), as amended, is further amended to 
                read in its entirety as follows:

                ``Critical Infrastructure Protection in the Information 
                Age

                    By the authority vested in me as President by the 
                Constitution and the laws of the United States of 
                America, and in order to ensure protection of 
                information systems for critical infrastructure, 
                including emergency preparedness communications and the 
                physical assets that support such systems, in the 
                information age, it is hereby ordered as follows:

                Section 1. Policy. The information technology 
                revolution has changed the way business is transacted, 
                government operates, and national defense is conducted. 
                Those three functions now depend on an interdependent 
                network of critical information infrastructures. It is 
                the policy of the United States to protect against 
                disruption of the operation of information systems for 
                critical infrastructure and thereby help to protect the 
                people, economy, essential human and government 
                services, and national security of the United States, 
                and to ensure that any disruptions that occur are 
                infrequent, of minimal duration, and manageable, and 
                cause the least damage possible. The implementation of 
                this policy shall include a voluntary public-private 
                partnership, involving corporate and nongovernmental 
                organizations.

                Sec. 2. Continuing Authorities. This order does not 
                alter the existing authorities or roles of United 
                States Government departments and agencies. Authorities 
                set forth in 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, and other applicable 
                law, provide senior officials with responsibility for 
                the security of Federal Government information systems.

                    (a) Executive Branch Information Systems Security. 
                The Director of the Office of Management and Budget 
                (OMB) has the responsibility to develop and oversee the 
                implementation of government-wide policies, principles, 
                standards, and guidelines for the security of 
                information systems that support the executive branch 
                departments and agencies, except those noted in section 
                2(b) of this order. The Director of OMB shall advise 
                the President and the appropriate department or agency 
                head when there is a critical deficiency in the 
                security practices within the purview of this section 
                in an executive branch department or agency.
                    (b) National Security Information Systems. The 
                Secretary of Defense and the Director of Central 
                Intelligence (DCI) shall have responsibility to 
                oversee, develop, and ensure implementation of 
                policies, principles, standards, and guidelines for the 
                security of information systems that support the 
                operations under their respective control. In 
                consultation with the Assistant to the President for 
                National Security Affairs and the affected departments 
                and agencies, the Secretary of Defense and the DCI 
                shall develop policies, principles, standards, and 
                guidelines for the security of national security 
                information systems that support the operations of 
                other executive branch departments and agencies with 
                national security information.

  (i) Policies, principles, standards, and guidelines developed under this 
subsection may require more stringent protection than those developed in 
accordance with section 2(a) of this order.

  (ii) The Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs shall 
advise the President and the appropriate department or agency when there is 
a critical deficiency in the security practices of a department or agency 
within the purview of this section.

  (iii) National Security Systems. The National Security Telecommunications 
and Information Systems Security Committee, as established by

[[Page 10621]]

and consistent with NSD-42 and chaired by the Department of Defense, shall 
be designated as the ``Committee on National Security Systems.''

                    (c) Additional Responsibilities. The heads of 
                executive branch departments and agencies are 
                responsible and accountable for providing and 
                maintaining adequate levels of security for information 
                systems, including emergency preparedness 
                communications systems, for programs under their 
                control. Heads of such departments and agencies shall 
                ensure the development and, within available 
                appropriations, funding of programs that adequately 
                address these mission systems, especially those 
                critical systems that support the national security and 
                other essential government programs. Additionally, 
                security should enable, and not unnecessarily impede, 
                department and agency business operations.

                Sec. 3. The National Infrastructure Advisory Council. 
                The National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), 
                established on October 16, 2001, shall provide the 
                President through the Secretary of Homeland Security 
                with advice on the security of information systems for 
                critical infrastructure supporting other sectors of the 
                economy: banking and finance, transportation, energy, 
                manufacturing, and emergency government services.

                    (a) Membership. The NIAC shall be composed of not 
                more than 30 members appointed by the President. The 
                members of the NIAC shall be selected from the private 
                sector, academia, and State and local government. 
                Members of the NIAC shall have expertise relevant to 
                the functions of the NIAC and generally shall be 
                selected from industry Chief Executive Officers (and 
                equivalently ranked leaders of other organizations) 
                with responsibilities for security of information 
                infrastructure supporting the critical sectors of the 
                economy, including banking and finance, transportation, 
                energy, communications, and emergency government 
                services. Members shall not be full-time officials or 
                employees of the executive branch of the Federal 
                Government. The President shall designate a Chair and 
                Vice Chair from among the members of the NIAC.
                    (b) Functions of the NIAC. The NIAC will meet 
                periodically to:

  (i) enhance the partnership of the public and private sectors in 
protecting information systems for critical infrastructures and provide 
reports on this issue to the Secretary of Homeland Security, as 
appropriate;

  (ii) propose and develop ways to encourage private industry to perform 
periodic risk assessments of critical information and telecommunications 
systems;

  (iii) monitor the development of private sector Information Sharing and

best foster improved cooperation among the ISACs, the Department of

  (iv) report to the President through the Secretary of Homeland Security, 
who shall ensure appropriate coordination with the Assistant to the

                    (c) Administration of the NIAC.

  (ii) Upon request of the Chair, and to the extent permitted by law, the 
heads of the executive departments and agencies shall provide the NIAC with 
information and advice relating to its functions.

  (iii) Senior Federal Government officials may participate in the meetings 
of the NIAC, as appropriate.

[[Page 10622]]

  (iv) Members shall serve without compensation for their work on the NIAC. 
However, members may be reimbursed for travel expenses, including per diem 
in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by law for persons serving 
intermittently in Federal Government service (5 U.S.C. 5701-5707).

  (v) To the extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of 
appropriations, the Department of Homeland Security shall provide the NIAC 
with administrative services, staff, and other support services, and such 
funds as may be necessary for the performance of the NIAC's functions.

                    (d) General Provisions.

  (i) Insofar as the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended (5 U.S.C. 
App.) (Act), may apply to the NIAC, the functions of the President under 
that Act, except that of reporting to the Congress, shall be performed by 
the Department of Homeland Security in accordance with the guidelines and 
procedures established by the Administrator of General Services.

  (ii) The NIAC shall terminate on October 15, 2003, unless extended by the
