SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NIAC is established under Section 10 of
E.O. 13231 issued on October 16, 2001, as amended and continued under
the authority of E.O. 14109, dated September 29, 2023. Notice of this
meeting is given under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5
U.S.C. Ch. 10 (Pub. L. 117-286). The NIAC provides the President,
through the Secretary of Homeland Security, advice on the security and
resilience of the Nation's critical infrastructure sectors.
The meeting date is being changed from Tuesday, December 12, 2023
to Wednesday, December 13, 2023. This meeting will now be partially
closed to the public, with the closure time of the meeting yet to be
determined. Members of the public who register to participate virtually
will be informed what portion of the meeting will be closed.
Agenda: The National Infrastructure Advisory Council will meet in
an open session on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
EST to discuss NIAC activities. The open session will include: (1) a
period for public comment; (2) read-on, deliberation and vote on the
NIAC's Managing the Infrastructure Challenges of Increasing
Electrification report; and (3) additional study topics discussion.
The council will meet in a closed session, with the closure time of
the meeting yet to be determined. During the closed session, senior
White House officials will discuss priorities and potential threats
concerning the nation's critical infrastructure.
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, as the
disclosure of the information that will be discussed would not be in
the public interest.
Public disclosure of these threats, as well as vulnerabilities and
mitigations, is a risk to the Nation's infrastructure security posture
as adversaries could use this information to do harm.
Celinda E. Moening,
Alternate Designated Federal Officer, National Infrastructure Advisory
Council, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Department
of Homeland Security.
