Summary | America's national and economic security are increasingly reliant on certain critical infrastructures and upon cyber-based information systems. Accordingly, in Presidential Decision Directive 63, the President directed the establishment of a program addressing the Nation's need for protection of its critical infrastructures. Critical infrastructures are those physical and cyber-based systems essential to the minimum operations of the economy and government. They include, but are not limited to, telecommunications, energy, banking and finance, transportation, water systems and emergency services, both governmental and private. The President has assigned to the Department of Commerce the lead agency responsibility for the information and communications (I&C) infrastructure. The Secretary of Commerce has designated the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) to carry out those responsibilities. Presidential Decision Directive 63 calls for representatives of the private sector, called Sector Coordinators (SCs), to represent the interests of critical infrastructure owners and operators in the development of infrastructure assurance plans. NTIA is seeking suggestions from the I&C private sector on the best way to fulfill the role of SCs in representing the I&C private sector on the Critical Infrastructure Assurance Program with the U.S. Government Sector Liaison Official (SLO), Larry Irving, Assistant Secretary of Commerce and NTIA Administrator. In addition, NTIA is seeking expressions of interest from private sector I&C entities capable of fulfilling the role of SC. In addition, comments are invited on the I&C infrastructure definitions provided in this notice. |
