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 and the FedRAMP Director, 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 (CSPs).
[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
The June 8, 2026 public meeting will be dedicated to FedRAMP
briefing the FSCAC members on programmatic changes that have occurred
and have aligned with intended goals of the FSCAC. Additionally,
FedRAMP will use the June 8th meeting to set the stage for the work it
would like FSCAC to help support over the remainder of 2026. FedRAMP
has made significant programmatic changes over the course of the last
year that help reduce the burden, confusion, and cost associated with
FedRAMP for cloud service providers (CSPs), opened the door for more
small businesses to be able to pursue FedRAMP and as has engaged
industry and agencies more than it has in previous years. FedRAMP will
brief the FSCAC on how it has tackled these challenges and will call on
the FSCAC to support agency adoption and reuse of FedRAMP.
The July 27, 2026 public meeting will be the first public-facing
meeting for the FSCAC to advise the GSA Administrator who has delegated
FSCAC Authority to the FedRAMP Director on how to ensure a continued
increase in reuse and agency adoption of FedRAMP across the federal
ecosystem.
The August 31, 2026 public meeting will be the second public-facing
meeting for the FSCAC to advise the FedRAMP Director (as delegated by
the GSA Administrator) on how to ensure a continued increase in reuse
and agency adoption of FedRAMP across the federal ecosystem.
The November 2, 2026 public meeting will be the final public-facing
meeting for the FSCAC to advise the FedRAMP Director (as delegated by
the GSA Administrator) on how to ensure a continued increase in reuse
and agency adoption of FedRAMP across the federal ecosystem and will
finalize any potential recommendations to the the FedRAMP Director (as
delegated by the GSA Administrator).
