OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET


Request for Comments on Identity, Credential, and Access 
Management (ICAM)

AGENCY: Office of Management and Budget.

ACTION: Notice of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is seeking public 
comment on a draft memorandum titled ``Strengthening the Cybersecurity 
of Federal Agencies through Improved Identity, Credential, and Access 
Management.''

DATES: The public comment period on the draft memorandum begins on 
April 6, 2018 in the Federal Register and will last for 30 days. The 
public comment period will end on May 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Interested parties should provide comments at the following 
link: https://policy.cio.gov/identity-draft. The Office of Management 
and Budget is located at 725 17th Street NW, Washington, DC 20503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jordan Burris at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is 
proposing a new policy for identity, credential, and access management 
(ICAM) across the Federal enterprise. This memorandum would establish 
new government-wide responsibilities for the Department of Commerce 
(DOC), the General Services Administration (GSA), the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS), and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 
and provide agencies with implementation guidance on the requirements 
defined in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) 
Special Publication 800-63-3. It would also reduce the policy 
compliance burden to agencies by rescinding and replacing five older 
memoranda, which collectively outline direction to agencies related to 
E-Authentication and acceptance of external credentials, among other 
matters.

Margaret H. Graves,
Deputy U.S. Federal Chief Information Officer.
