SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
GSA, in compliance with the FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022 (the
Act), established the FSCAC, a statutory advisory committee in
accordance with the provisions of FACA, as amended (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
[[Page 27431]]
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.
