SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NSTAC is established under the authority
of Executive Order (E.O.) 12382, dated September 13, 1982, as amended
by E.O. 13286, continued and amended under the authority of E.O. 14048,
dated September 30, 2021. Notice of this meeting is given under FACA, 5
U.S.C. ch. 10 (Pub. L. 117-286). The NSTAC advises the president on
matters related to national security
[[Page 24206]]
and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and cybersecurity
policy.
Agenda: The NSTAC will meet in an open session on Tuesday, May 16,
2023, from 3:30 to 5:00 p.m. ET to discuss current NSTAC activities and
the government's ongoing cybersecurity and NS/EP communications
initiatives. This open session will include: (1) a keynote address; and
(2) a status update on the Addressing the Abuse of Domestic
Infrastructure by Foreign Malicious Actors Subcommittee.
The committee will also meet in a closed session from 1:00 to 3:00
p.m. ET during which time: (1) senior government intelligence officials
will provide a threat briefing concerning threats to NS/EP
communications and engage NSTAC members in follow-on discussion; and
(2) NSTAC members and senior government officials will discuss
potential NSTAC study topics.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with section 10(d) of FACA and 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been
determined that a portion of the agenda requires closure.
These agenda items are the: (1) classified threat briefing and
discussion, which will provide NSTAC members the opportunity to discuss
information concerning threats to NS/EP communications with senior
government intelligence officials; and (2) potential NSTAC study topics
discussion. The briefing is anticipated to be classified at the top
secret/sensitive compartmented information level. Disclosure of these
threats during the briefing, as well as vulnerabilities and mitigation
techniques, is a risk to the Nation's cybersecurity posture because
adversaries could use this information to compromise commercial and
government networks. Subjects discussed during the potential study
topics discussion are tentative and are under further consideration by
the committee.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting is required to be closed
pursuant to section 10(d) of FACA and 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) because it
will disclose matters that are classified.
Dated: April 13, 2023.
Christina Berger,
Designated Federal Officer, NSTAC, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security.
