FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Federal Advisory Committee Act; Communications Security, 
Reliability, and Interoperability Council

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this 
notice advises interested persons that the Federal Communications 
Commission's (FCC or Commission) Communications Security, Reliability, 
and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) IV will hold its fifth meeting. At 
the meeting, each of the Working Groups will present an update on 
topics including emergency warning systems, 9-1-1 location accuracy, 
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and cybersecurity best practices.

DATES: September 24, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Federal Communications Commission, Room TW-C305 (Commission 
Meeting Room), 445 12th Street SW., Washington, DC 20554.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeffery Goldthorp, Designated Federal 
Officer, (202) 418-1096 (voice) or [email protected] (email); 
or Lauren Kravetz, Deputy Designated Federal Officer, (202) 418-7944 
(voice) or [email protected] (email).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: While the notice of this meeting has not yet 
been published in the Federal Register, and therefore, did not meet the 
15-day requirement for advance publication, exceptional circumstances 
warrant proceeding with the September 24, 2014, CSRIC meeting. CSRIC 
members were informed of the September 24th meeting at the June 18, 
2014, public meeting of the Council, and have been informed informally 
of the September meeting date on more than one occasion both before and 
since then. In addition, the meeting date has been posted on the CSRIC 
IV Web site for several months. A significant number of Council members 
have made business and travel plans in accordance with this schedule, 
and there is no date within one month of the planned date that will 
accommodate Council members' schedules. Delaying the meeting will also 
cause undue financial burdens on many of the members who have made 
travel arrangements.
    In addition, it is not possible at this time to schedule a half-day 
meeting in the FCC's Commission Meeting Room for any date within one 
month of September 24, 2014. Further, the agency is planning to issue a 
Public Notice of this meeting no later than on September 15, 2014, to 
mitigate the late Federal Register publication and as an additional way 
of advising the public of this meeting and their right to attend. As 
the September 24 meeting date was announced at the June 2014 public 
meeting of the Council and has been stated on the Council's Web site 
for several months, the meeting has now been broadly announced to the 
public more than once.

Federal Communications Commission.
Lauren Kravetz,
Deputy Division Chief, Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau.
