SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
GSA, in compliance with the FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022,
established the FSCAC, a statutory advisory committee in accordance
with the provisions of FACA (5 U.S.C. 10). The Federal Risk and
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) within GSA is responsible
for providing a standardized, reusable approach to security assessment
and authorization for cloud computing products and services that
process unclassified information used by agencies.
The FSCAC will provide advice and recommendations to the
Administrator of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and agencies on technical,
financial, programmatic, and operational matters regarding the secure
adoption of cloud computing products and services. The FSCAC will
ensure effective and ongoing coordination of agency adoption, use,
authorization, monitoring, acquisition, and security of cloud computing
products and services to enable agency mission and administrative
priorities. The purposes of the Committee are:
<bullet> To examine the operations of FedRAMP and determine ways
that authorization processes can continuously be improved, including
the following:
[cir] Measures to increase agency reuse of FedRAMP authorizations.
[cir] Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden,
confusion, and cost associated with FedRAMP authorizations for cloud
service providers.
[cir] Measures to increase the number of FedRAMP authorizations for
cloud computing products and services offered by small businesses
concerns (as defined by section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15
U.S.C. 632(a)).
[cir] Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden and
cost of FedRAMP authorizations for agencies.
<bullet> Collect information and feedback on agency compliance
with, and implementation of, FedRAMP requirements.
<bullet> Serve as a forum that facilitates communication and
collaboration among the FedRAMP stakeholder community.
The FSCAC will meet no fewer than three (3) times a calendar year.
Meetings shall occur as frequently as needed, called, and approved by
the DFO.
Purpose of the Meeting and Agenda
As a continuation of the FSCAC meeting series from October 19, 2023

vote on their deliverable to the GSA Administrator. The Committee will
provide initial recommendations on their priority initiatives, to
include authorization path improvements, continuous monitoring (ConMon)
process improvements, and automation initiatives and opportunities. The
