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.
