SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NSTAC advises the President on issues 
and problems related to implementing national security and emergency 
preparedness telecommunications policy. Notice of this meeting is given 
under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Pub. L. 92-463, as 
amended (5 U.S.C. App.1 et seq.).
    Between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., the NSTAC will receive comments from 
government stakeholders, discuss the work of the NSTAC's Emergency 
Communications and Interoperability Task Force (ECITF), and discuss the 
work of the Telecommunications and Electric Power Interdependency Task 
Force (TEPITF). This portion of the meeting will be open to the public.
    Between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m., the committee will discuss the Global 
Infrastructure Resiliency (GIR) Report. This portion of the meeting 
will be closed to the public.
    Basis for Closure: The GIR discussion will likely involve sensitive 
infrastructure information concerning system threats and explicit 
physical/cyber vulnerabilities related to current communications 
capabilities. Public disclosure of such information would heighten 
awareness of potential vulnerabilities and increase the likelihood of 
exploitation by terrorists or other motivated adversaries. Pursuant to 
Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 
as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.), the Department has determined 
that this discussion will concern matters which, if disclosed, would be 
likely to frustrate significantly the implementation of a proposed 
agency action. Accordingly, this portion of the meeting will be closed 
to the public pursuant to the authority set forth in 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(9)(B).
    Information on Services for Individuals With Disabilities: For 
information on facilities or services for individuals with 
disabilities, or to request special assistance at the meeting, contact
