governments, either individually or together, decline or fail to

prepare commercial nuclear power plant radiological emergency

preparedness plans that are sufficient to satisfy Nuclear

Regulatory Commission ("NRC") licensing requirements or to

participate adequately in the preparation, demonstration, testing,

exercise, or use of such plans.

(b) In order to request the assistance of the Department of

Homeland Security ("DHS") provided for in this Order, an affected

nuclear power plant applicant or licensee ("licensee") shall

certify in writing to DHS that the situation described in

Subsection (a) exists.

Sec. 2. Generally Applicable Principles and Directives. (a)

Subject to the principles articulated in this Section, the

Secretary of Homeland Security is hereby authorized and directed to

take the actions specified in Sections 3 through 6 of this Order.

(b) In carrying out any of its responsibilities under this Order,

DHS:

(1) shall work actively with the licensee, and, before relying

upon its resources or those of any other Department or agency

within the Executive branch, shall make maximum feasible use of the

licensee's resources;

(2) shall take care not to supplant State and local resources.

DHS shall substitute its own resources for those of the State and

local governments only to the extent necessary to compensate for

the nonparticipation or inadequate participation of those

governments, and only as a last resort after appropriate

consultation with the Governors and responsible local officials in

the affected area regarding State and local participation;

(3) is authorized, to the extent permitted by law, to enter into

interagency Memoranda of Understanding providing for utilization of

the resources of other Executive branch Departments and agencies

and for delegation to other Executive branch Departments and

agencies of any of the functions and duties assigned to DHS under

this Order; however, any such Memorandum of Understanding shall be

subject to approval by the Director of the Office of Management and

Budget ("OMB") and published in final form in the Federal Register;

and

(4) shall assume for purposes of Sections 3 and 4 of this Order

that, in the event of an actual radiological emergency or disaster,

State and local authorities would contribute their full resources

and exercise their authorities in accordance with their duties to

protect the public from harm and would act generally in conformity

with the licensee's radiological emergency preparedness plan.

(c) The Director of OMB shall resolve any issue concerning the

obligation of Federal funds arising from the implementation of this

Order. In resolving issues under this Subsection, the Director of

OMB shall ensure:

(1) that DHS has utilized to the maximum extent possible the

resources of the licensee and State and local governments before it

relies upon its appropriated and lawfully available resources or

those of any Department or agency in the Executive branch;

(2) that DHS shall use its existing resources to coordinate and

manage, rather than duplicate, other available resources;

(3) that implementation of this Order is accomplished with an

economy of resources; and

(4) that full reimbursement to the Federal Government is

seq.], and any other Federal legislation or regulations pertaining

to issuance or retention of a construction permit or an operating

license for a nuclear power plant.

(b) DHS shall make all necessary plans and arrangements to ensure

that the Federal Government is prepared to assume any and all

functions and undertakings necessary to provide adequate protection

to the public in cases within the scope of this Order. In making

such plans and arrangements,

(1) DHS shall focus planning of Federal response activities to

ensure that:

(A) adequate resources and arrangements will exist, as of the

time when an initial response is needed, given the absence or

inadequacy of advance State and local commitments; and

(B) attention has been given to coordinating (including turning

over) response functions when State and local governments do

exercise their authority, with specific attention to the areas

evacuation; to provide reception centers or shelters and related

facilities and services for evacuees; to provide emergency medical

services at Federal hospitals, including those operated by the

military services and by the Veterans' Administration [now

Department of Veterans Affairs]; and to ensure the creation and

maintenance of channels of communication from commercial nuclear

power plant licensees or applicants to State and local governments

and to surrounding members of the public.

Sec. 4. Evaluation of Plans. (a) DHS shall consider and evaluate

all plans developed under the authority of this Order as though

drafted and submitted by a State or local government.

(b) DHS shall take all actions necessary to carry out the

evaluation referred to in the preceding Subsection and to permit

the NRC to conduct its evaluation of radiological emergency

preparedness plans including, but not limited to, planning,

participating in, and evaluating exercises, drills, and tests, on a

timely basis, as necessary to satisfy NRC requirements for

demonstrations of off-site radiological emergency preparedness.

Sec. 5. Response to a Radiological Emergency. (a) In the event of

an actual radiological emergency or disaster, DHS shall take all

steps necessary to ensure the implementation of the plans developed

under this Order and shall coordinate the actions of other Federal

agencies to achieve the maximum effectiveness of Federal efforts in

responding to the emergency.

(b) DHS shall coordinate Federal response activities to ensure

that adequate resources are directed, when an initial response is

needed, to activities hindered by the absence or inadequacy of

advance State and local commitments. DHS shall also coordinate with

State and local governmental authorities and turn over response

functions as appropriate when State and local governments do

exercise their authority.

(c) DHS shall assume any necessary command-and-control function,

or delegate such function to another Federal agency, in the event

that no competent State and local authority is available to perform

such function.

(d) In any instance in which Federal personnel may be called upon

to fill a command-and-control function during a radiological

emergency, in addition to any other powers it may have, DHS or its

designee is authorized to accept volunteer assistance from utility

full reimbursement, either jointly or severally, for services

performed by DHS or other Federal agencies pursuant to this Order

from any affected licensee and from any affected nonparticipating

or inadequately participating State or local government.

Sec. 7. Amendments. This Executive Order amends Executive Order

Nos. 11490 (34 Fed. Reg. 17567 (October 28, 1969)) [see note

above], 12148 (44 Fed. Reg. 43239 (July 20, 1979)) [set out above],

and 12241 (45 Fed. Reg. 64879 (September 29, 1980)), and the same

53880, provided:

Certain national infrastructures are so vital that their

incapacity or destruction would have a debilitating impact on the

defense or economic security of the United States. These critical

infrastructures include telecommunications, electrical power

systems, gas and oil storage and transportation, banking and

finance, transportation, water supply systems, emergency services

(including medical, police, fire, and rescue), and continuity of

government. Threats to these critical infrastructures fall into two

categories: physical threats to tangible property ("physical

threats"), and threats of electronic, radio-frequency, or

computer-based attacks on the information or communications

components that control critical infrastructures ("cyber threats").

Because many of these critical infrastructures are owned and

operated by the private sector, it is essential that the government

and private sector work together to develop a strategy for

protecting them and assuring their continued operation.

NOW, THEREFORE, by the authority vested in me as President by the

Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is

hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Establishment. There is hereby established the

President's Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection

private sectors that conduct, support, or contribute to

infrastructure assurance; (ii) owners and operators of the critical

infrastructures; and (iii) other elements of the public and private

sectors, including the Congress, that have an interest in critical

infrastructure assurance issues and that may have differing

perspectives on these issues;

(c) assess the scope and nature of the vulnerabilities of, and

threats to, critical infrastructures;

(d) determine what legal and policy issues are raised by efforts

to protect critical infrastructures and assess how these issues

should be addressed;

(e) recommend a comprehensive national policy and implementation

strategy for protecting critical infrastructures from physical and

cyber threats and assuring their continued operation;

(f) propose any statutory or regulatory changes necessary to

effect its recommendations; and

consideration by the Commission. In addition, at the Commission's

request, executive departments and agencies shall request that

existing Federal advisory committees consider and provide advice on

issues of critical infrastructure protection, to the extent

permitted by law.

(f) The Commission shall terminate 1 year and 90 days from the

date of this order, unless extended by the President prior to that

date. The Principals Committee, the Steering Committee, and the

EX. ORD. NO. 13151. GLOBAL DISASTER INFORMATION NETWORK

Ex. Ord. No. 13151, Apr. 27, 2000, 65 F.R. 25619, as amended by

Ex. Ord. No. 13284, Sec. 5, Jan. 23, 2003, 68 F.R. 4075, provided:

By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution

and the laws of the United States of America, and in order to

establish a Global Disaster Information Network to use information

technology more effectively to reduce loss of life and property

from natural and man-made disasters, it is hereby ordered as

follows:

Section 1. Policy. (a) It is the policy of this Administration to

use information technology more effectively to coordinate the

Federal Government's collection and dissemination of information to

appropriate response agencies and State governments to prepare for

and respond to natural and man-made disasters (disasters). As a

result of changing population demographics in our coastal, rural,

and urban areas over the past decades, the loss of life and

property (losses) from disasters has nearly doubled. One of the

ways the Federal Government can reduce these losses is to use

technology more effectively to coordinate its collection and

dissemination (hereafter referred to collectively as "provision")

of information which can be used in both planning for and

recovering from disasters. While many agencies provide

disaster-related information, they may not always provide it in a

coordinated manner. To improve the provision of disaster-related

information, the agencies shall, as set out in this order, use

information technology to coordinate the Federal Government's

provision of information to prepare for, respond to, and recover

from domestic disasters.

(b) It is also the policy of this Administration to use

information technology and existing channels of disaster assistance

to improve the Federal Government's provision of information that

could be helpful to foreign governments preparing for or responding

to foreign disasters. Currently, the United States Government

provides disaster-related information to foreign governments and

relief organizations on humanitarian grounds at the request of

foreign governments and where appropriate. This information is

supplied by Federal agencies on an ad hoc basis. To increase the

effectiveness of our response to foreign disasters, agencies shall,

where appropriate, use information technology to coordinate the

Federal Government's provision of disaster-related information to

foreign governments.

(c) To carry out the policies in this order, there is established

the Global Disaster Information Network (Network). The Network is

defined as the coordinated effort by Federal agencies to develop a

strategy and to use existing technical infrastructure, to the

extent permitted by law and subject to the availability of

appropriations and under the guidance of the Interagency

Coordinating Committee and the Committee Support Office, to make

more effective use of information technology to assist our

Government, and foreign governments where appropriate, by providing

disaster-related information to prepare for and respond to

disasters.

Sec. 2. Establishment. (a) There is established an Interagency

Coordinating Committee (Committee) to provide leadership and

oversight for the development of the Network. The Office of the

Vice President, the Department of Commerce through the National

Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the Department of

State, respectively, shall designate a representative to serve as

Co-chairpersons of the Committee. The Committee membership shall

comprise representatives from the following departments and

agencies:

(1) Department of State;

(2) Department of Defense;

(3) Department of the Interior;

(4) Department of Agriculture;

(5) Department of Commerce;

(6) Department of Transportation;

(7) Department of Energy;

(8) Department of Homeland Security;

(9) Office of Management and Budget;

(10) Environmental Protection Agency;

(11) National Aeronautics and Space Administration;

(12) United States Agency for International Development;

(13) Federal Emergency Management Agency; and

(14) Central Intelligence Agency.

At the discretion of the Co-chairpersons of the Committee, other

agencies may be added to the Committee membership. The Committee

shall include an Executive Secretary to effect coordination between

the Co-chairpersons of the Committee and the Committee Support

Office.

(b) There is established a Committee Support Office (Support

Office) to assist the Committee by developing plans and projects

that would further the creation of the Network. The Support Office

shall, at the request of the Co-chairpersons of the Committee,

carry out tasks taken on by the Committee.

(c) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shall

provide funding and administrative support for the Committee and

the Support Office. To the extent permitted by law, agencies may

provide support to the Committee and the Support Office to assist

them in their work.

Sec. 3. Responsibilities. (a) The Committee shall:

(1) serve as the United States Government's single entity for

all matters, both national and international, pertaining to the

development and establishment of the Network;

(2) provide leadership and high-level coordination of Network

activities;

(3) provide guidance for the development of Network strategies,

goals, objectives, policies, and legislation;

(4) represent and advocate Network goals, objectives, and

processes to their respective agencies and departments;

(5) provide manpower and material support for Network

development activities;

(6) develop, delegate, and monitor interagency opportunities

and ideas supporting the development of the Network; and

(7) provide reports, through the Co-chairpersons of the

Committee, to the President as requested or at least annually.

(b) The Support Office shall:

(1) provide management and administrative support for the

Committee;

(2) develop Network strategies, goals, objectives, policies,

plans, and legislation in accordance with guidance provided by

the Committee;

(3) consult with agencies, States, nongovernment organizations,

and international counterparts in developing Network development

tasks;

(4) develop and make recommendations concerning Network

activities to the agencies as approved by the Committee; and

(5) participate in projects that promote the goals and

objectives of the Network.

Sec. 4. Implementation. (a) The Committee, with the assistance of

the Support Office, shall address national and international issues

associated with the development of the Network within the context

of:

(1) promoting the United States as an example and leader in the

development and dissemination of disaster information, both

domestically and abroad, and, to this end, seeking cooperation with

foreign governments and international organizations;

(2) striving to include all appropriate stakeholders in the

development of the Network; and

(3) facilitating the creation of a framework that involves public

and private stakeholders in a partnership for sustained operations

of the Network.

(b) Intelligence activities, as determined by the Director of the

Central Intelligence Agency, as well as national security-related

activities of the Department of Defense and of the Department of

Energy, are exempt from compliance with this order.

Sec. 5. Tribal Governments. This order does not impose any

requirements on tribal governments.

Sec. 6. Judicial Review. This order does not create any right or

benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law, by a party

against the United States, its officers, its employees, or any

other person.

Sec. 5195c. Critical infrastructures protection

-STATUTE-

(a) Short title

This section may be cited as the "Critical Infrastructures

Protection Act of 2001".

(b) Findings

Congress makes the following findings:

(1) The information revolution has transformed the conduct of

business and the operations of government as well as the

infrastructure relied upon for the defense and national security

of the United States.

(2) Private business, government, and the national security

apparatus increasingly depend on an interdependent network of

critical physical and information infrastructures, including

telecommunications, energy, financial services, water, and

transportation sectors.

(3) A continuous national effort is required to ensure the

reliable provision of cyber and physical infrastructure services

critical to maintaining the national defense, continuity of

government, economic prosperity, and quality of life in the

United States.

(4) This national effort requires extensive modeling and

analytic capabilities for purposes of evaluating appropriate

mechanisms to ensure the stability of these complex and

interdependent systems, and to underpin policy recommendations,

so as to achieve the continuous viability and adequate protection

of the critical infrastructure of the Nation.

(c) Policy of the United States

It is the policy of the United States -

(1) that any physical or virtual disruption of the operation of

the critical infrastructures of the United States be rare, brief,

geographically limited in effect, manageable, and minimally

detrimental to the economy, human and government services, and

national security of the United States;

(2) that actions necessary to achieve the policy stated in

paragraph (1) be carried out in a public-private partnership

involving corporate and non-governmental organizations; and

(3) to have in place a comprehensive and effective program to

ensure the continuity of essential Federal Government functions

under all circumstances.

(d) Establishment of national competence for critical

infrastructure protection

(1) Support of critical infrastructure protection and continuity

by National Infrastructure Simulation and Analysis Center

There shall be established the National Infrastructure

Simulation and Analysis Center (NISAC) to serve as a source of

national competence to address critical infrastructure protection

and continuity through support for activities related to

counterterrorism, threat assessment, and risk mitigation.

(2) Particular support

The support provided under paragraph (1) shall include the

following:

(A) Modeling, simulation, and analysis of the systems

comprising critical infrastructures, including cyber

infrastructure, telecommunications infrastructure, and physical

infrastructure, in order to enhance understanding of the

large-scale complexity of such systems and to facilitate

modification of such systems to mitigate the threats to such

systems and to critical infrastructures generally.

(B) Acquisition from State and local governments and the

private sector of data necessary to create and maintain models

of such systems and of critical infrastructures generally.

(C) Utilization of modeling, simulation, and analysis under

subparagraph (A) to provide education and training to

policymakers on matters relating to -

(i) the analysis conducted under that subparagraph;

(ii) the implications of unintended or unintentional

disturbances to critical infrastructures; and

(iii) responses to incidents or crises involving critical

infrastructures, including the continuity of government and

private sector activities through and after such incidents or

crises.

(D) Utilization of modeling, simulation, and analysis under

subparagraph (A) to provide recommendations to policymakers,

and to departments and agencies of the Federal Government and

private sector persons and entities upon request, regarding

means of enhancing the stability of, and preserving, critical

infrastructures.

(3) Recipient of certain support

Modeling, simulation, and analysis provided under this

subsection shall be provided, in particular, to relevant Federal,

State, and local entities responsible for critical infrastructure

protection and policy.

(e) Critical infrastructure defined

In this section, the term "critical infrastructure" means systems

and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United

States that the incapacity or destruction of such systems and

assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national

economic security, national public health or safety, or any

combination of those matters.

(f) Authorization of appropriations

There is hereby authorized for the Department of Defense for

fiscal year 2002, $20,000,000 for the Defense Threat Reduction

Agency for activities of the National Infrastructure Simulation and

Analysis Center under this section in that fiscal year.

the States for the purposes of this section. Regulations governing

allocations to the States under this subsection shall give due

regard to (1) the criticality of the areas which may be affected by

hazards with respect to the development of the total emergency

preparedness readiness of the United States, (2) the relative state

of development of emergency preparedness readiness of the State,

(3) population, and (4) such other factors as the Director shall

prescribe. The Director may reallocate the excess of any allocation

not used by a State in a plan submitted under this section. Amounts

paid to any State or political subdivision under this section shall

be expended solely for the purposes set forth in this section.

(f) Submission of plan

If a State fails to submit a plan for approval as required by

this section within 60 days after the Director notifies the States

of the allocations under this section, the Director may reallocate

such funds, or portions thereof, among the other States in such

amounts as, in the judgment of the Director, will best assure the

adequate development of the emergency preparedness capability of

the United States.

(g) Annual reports

The Director shall report annually to the Congress all

contributions made pursuant to this section.

(a) Establishment

The Director shall establish such security requirements and

safeguards, including restrictions with respect to access to

information and property as the Director considers necessary.

(b) Limitations on employee access to information

No employee of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall be

permitted to have access to information or property with respect to

which access restrictions have been established under this section,

until it shall have been determined that no information is

contained in the files of the Federal Bureau of Investigation or

any other investigative agency of the Government indicating that

such employee is of questionable loyalty or reliability for

security purposes, or if any such information is so disclosed,

until the Federal Bureau of Investigation shall have conducted a

full field investigation concerning such person and a report

thereon shall have been evaluated in writing by the Director.

(c) National security positions

No employee of the Federal Emergency Management Agency shall

occupy any position determined by the Director to be of critical

importance from the standpoint of national security until a full

field investigation concerning such employee shall have been

conducted by the Director of the Office of Personnel Management and

a report thereon shall have been evaluated in writing by the

Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In the event

such full field investigation by the Director of the Office of

Personnel Management develops any data reflecting that such

applicant for a position of critical importance is of questionable

loyalty or reliability for security purposes, or if the Director of

the Federal Emergency Management Agency for any other reason

considers it to be advisable, such investigation shall be

discontinued and a report thereon shall be referred to the Director

of the Federal Emergency Management Agency for evaluation in

writing. Thereafter, the Director of the Federal Emergency

oath in writing before a person authorized to administer oaths,

which oath shall be substantially as follows:

"I, ______, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support

and defend the Constitution of the United States against all

enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and

allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely,

without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I

will well and faithfully discharge the duties upon which I am

about to enter.

"And I do further swear (or affirm) that I do not advocate, nor

am I a member or an affiliate of any organization, group, or

combination of persons that advocates the overthrow of the

Government of the United States by force or violence; and that

during such time as I am a member of ______ (name of emergency

preparedness organization), I will not advocate nor become a

member or an affiliate of any organization, group, or combination

of persons that advocates the overthrow of the Government of the

United States by force or violence."

After appointment and qualification for office, the director of

emergency preparedness of any State, and any subordinate emergency

preparedness officer within such State designated by the director

in writing, shall be qualified to administer any such oath within

such State under such regulations as the director shall prescribe.

Any person who shall be found guilty of having falsely taken such

oath shall be punished as provided in section 1621 of title 18.
