INFORMATION AGE

Ex. Ord. No. 13231, Oct. 16, 2001, 66 F.R. 53063, as amended by

Ex. Ord. No. 13284, Sec. 2, Jan. 23, 2003, 68 F.R. 4075; Ex. Ord.

No. 13286, Sec. 7, Feb. 28, 2003, 68 F.R. 10620, 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

ensure protection of information systems for critical

infrastructure, including emergency preparedness communications and

the physical assets that support such systems, in the information

age, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. The information technology revolution has

changed the way business is transacted, government operates, and

national defense is conducted. Those three functions now depend on

an interdependent network of critical information infrastructures.

It is the policy of the United States to protect against disruption

of the operation of information systems for critical infrastructure

and thereby help to protect the people, economy, essential human

and government services, and national security of the United

States, and to ensure that any disruptions that occur are

infrequent, of minimal duration, and manageable, and cause the

least damage possible. The implementation of this policy shall

include a voluntary public-private partnership, involving corporate

and nongovernmental organizations.

Sec. 2. Continuing Authorities. This order does not alter the

existing authorities or roles of United States Government

departments and agencies. Authorities set forth in 44 U.S.C.

chapter 35, and other applicable law, provide senior officials with

responsibility for the security of Federal Government information

systems.

(a) Executive Branch Information Systems Security. The Director

of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has the responsibility

to develop and oversee the implementation of government-wide

policies, principles, standards, and guidelines for the security of

information systems that support the executive branch departments

and agencies, except those noted in section 2(b) of this order.

The Director of OMB shall advise the President and the appropriate

department or agency head when there is a critical deficiency in

the security practices within the purview of this section in an

executive branch department or agency.

(b) National Security Information Systems. The Secretary of

Defense and the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) shall have

responsibility to oversee, develop, and ensure implementation of

policies, principles, standards, and guidelines for the security of

information systems that support the operations under their

respective control. In consultation with the Assistant to the

President for National Security Affairs and the affected

departments and agencies, the Secretary of Defense and the DCI

shall develop policies, principles, standards, and guidelines for

the security of national security information systems that support

the operations of other executive branch departments and agencies

with national security information.

(i) Policies, principles, standards, and guidelines developed

under this subsection may require more stringent protection than

those developed in accordance with section 2(a) of this order.

(ii) The Assistant to the President for National Security

Affairs shall advise the President and the appropriate department

or agency when there is a critical deficiency in the security

practices of a department or agency within the purview of this

section.

(iii) National Security Systems. The National Security

Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Committee, as

established by and consistent with NSD-42 and chaired by the

Department of Defense, shall be designated as the ''Committee on

National Security Systems.''

departments and agencies are responsible and accountable for

providing and maintaining adequate levels of security for

information systems, including emergency preparedness

communications systems, for programs under their control. Heads of

such departments and agencies shall ensure the development and,

within available appropriations, funding of programs that

adequately address these mission systems, especially those critical

systems that support the national security and other essential

government programs. Additionally, security should enable, and not

unnecessarily impede, department and agency business operations.

Sec. 3. The National Infrastructure Advisory Council. The

National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC), established on

October 16, 2001, shall provide the President through the Secretary

of Homeland Security with advice on the security of information

systems for critical infrastructure supporting other sectors of the

economy: banking and finance, transportation, energy,

manufacturing, and emergency government services.

(a) Membership. The NIAC shall be composed of not more than 30

members appointed by the President. The members of the NIAC shall

be selected from the private sector, academia, and State and local

government. Members of the NIAC shall have expertise relevant to

the functions of the NIAC and generally shall be selected from

industry Chief Executive Officers (and equivalently ranked leaders

of other organizations) with responsibilities for security of

information infrastructure supporting the critical sectors of the

economy, including banking and finance, transportation, energy,

communications, and emergency government services. Members shall

not be full-time officials or employees of the executive branch of

the Federal Government. The President shall designate a Chair and

Vice Chair from among the members of the NIAC.

(b) Functions of the NIAC. The NIAC will meet periodically to:

(i) enhance the partnership of the public and private sectors

in protecting information systems for critical infrastructures

and provide reports on this issue to the Secretary of Homeland

Security, as appropriate;

(ii) propose and develop ways to encourage private industry to

perform periodic risk assessments of critical information and

telecommunications systems;

(iii) monitor the development of private sector Information

Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) and provide recommendations

to the President through the Secretary of Homeland Security on

how these organizations can best foster improved cooperation

among the ISACs, the Department of Homeland Security, and other

Federal Government entities;

(iv) report to the President through the Secretary of Homeland

Security, who shall ensure appropriate coordination with the

Assistant to the President for Homeland Security, the Assistant

to the President for Economic Policy, and the Assistant to the

President for National Security Affairs under the terms of this

order; and

(v) advise lead agencies with critical infrastructure

responsibilities, sector coordinators, the Department of Homeland

Security, and the ISACs.

(i) The NIAC may hold hearings, conduct inquiries, and

establish subcommittees, as appropriate.

(ii) Upon request of the Chair, and to the extent permitted by

law, the heads of the executive departments and agencies shall

provide the NIAC with information and advice relating to its

functions.

(iii) Senior Federal Government officials may participate in

the meetings of the NIAC, as appropriate.

(iv) Members shall serve without compensation for their work on
