SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed E.O. 13691 intended to 
enable and facilitate ``private companies, nonprofit organizations, and 
executive departments and agencies . . . to share information related 
to cybersecurity risks and incidents and collaborate to respond in as 
close to real time as possible.''
    In accordance with E.O. 13691, DHS has entered into a cooperative 
agreement with a non-governmental ISAO SO led by the University of 
Texas at San Antonio with support from the Logistics Management 
Institute (LMI) and the Retail Cyber Intelligence Sharing Center (R-
CISC). The ISAO SO is working with existing information sharing 
organizations, owners and operators of critical infrastructure, 
relevant agencies, and other public and private sector stakeholders to 
identify a common set of voluntary standards or guidelines for the 
creation and functioning of ISAOs.
    As part of this collaborative, transparent, and industry-driven 
process, the ISAO SO has established six working groups to assist in 
the development of voluntary standards. As part of the standards 
development process, the ISAO SO hosts public forums. This notice is to 
provide further information regarding the August 31 and September 1, 
2016 public forum in Tysons, VA.
    Additionally, this notice is to request comment on the Standards 
Organization's draft products. These drafts consolidate previous 
separate documents, comments and newly developed material. Your 
participation in this comment process is highly encouraged to ensure 
all equities are being met. To join a working group or to find out how 
else you can best participate, please visit www.ISAO.org or email 
[email protected].
