SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
proposes to issue updated guidance to Federal agencies on the Federal
Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). In December 2011, OMB
issued Security Authorization of Information Systems in Cloud Computing
Environments, establishing the Federal Risk Authorization Management
Program to accelerate the secure adoption of cloud services. In 2022,
recognizing the value that FedRAMP has provided to Federal agencies and
to industry, Congress established FedRAMP in statute through the
FedRAMP Authorization Act (``the Act''), 44 U.S.C. 3607-3616, as a
program of the General Services Administration (GSA) that is overseen
by a Board consisting of technology leaders drawn from Federal
agencies.
The Act further provides for OMB to issue guidance to define the
categories of cloud products and services within the scope of the
FedRAMP program and to describe additional responsibilities of the
FedRAMP Program Management Office (PMO) and Board beyond those assigned
by the Act. OMB also has a general responsibility under the Act to
oversee the effectiveness of FedRAMP and to encourage consistency in
agencies' adoption and use of secure cloud services.
The proposed memorandum would support the Biden-Harris
Administration's goals for modernizing Federal information technology
and has been prepared by the Office of Management and Budget in
consultation with key stakeholders.
Clare Martorana,
Federal Chief Information Officer, Office of the Federal Chief
Information Officer, Office of Management Budget.
