activities covered by the CIPAC includes: Planning; coordinating among 
government and critical infrastructure owner and operator security 
partners; implementing security program initiatives; conducting 
operational activities related to critical infrastructure protection 
security measures, incident response, recovery, and infrastructure 
resilience; reconstituting critical infrastructure assets and systems 
for both manmade and naturally occurring events; and sharing threat, 
vulnerability, risk mitigation, and infrastructure continuity 
information.
    Organizational Structure: CIPAC members are organized into 16 
critical infrastructure sectors. These sectors have a Government 
Coordinating Council (GCC) whose membership includes: (i) A lead 
Federal agency that is defined as the Sector-Specific Agency (SSA); 
(ii) all relevant Federal, State, local, tribal, and/or territorial 
government agencies (or their representative bodies) whose mission 
interests also involve the scope of the CIPAC activities for that 
particular sector; and (iii) a Sector Coordinating Council (SCC), where 
applicable, whose membership includes critical infrastructure owners 
and/or operators or their representative trade associations.
    CIPAC Membership: CIPAC Membership may include:
    (i) Critical Infrastructure owner and operator members of a DHS-
recognized SCC, including their representative trade associations or 
equivalent organization members of a SCC as determined by the SCC.
    (ii) Federal, State, local, and tribal governmental entities 
comprising the

members of the GCC for each sector, including their representative 
organizations; members of the State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial 
Government Coordinating Council; and representatives of other Federal 
agencies with responsibility for Critical Infrastructure activities.

is organizational. Multiple individuals may participate in CIPAC 
activities on behalf of a member organization. Members of the public 
may visit the CIPAC Web site (http://www.dhs.gov/cipac) at any time to
