SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. Appendix (Pub. L. 92-
463). The NSTAC advises the President on matters related to national 
security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) telecommunications and 
cybersecurity policy.
    Agenda: The committee will meet in an open session on November 14, 
2018, and receive remarks from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 
leadership and other senior Government officials regarding the 
Government's current cybersecurity initiatives and NS/EP priorities. 
The meeting will include a keynote address. NSTAC members will also 
deliberate and vote on the NSTAC Report to the President on a 
Cybersecurity Moonshot. The goal of this study is to examine and 
expedite progress against the nation's critical cybersecurity 
challenges. The committee examined various approaches to a 
cybersecurity Moonshot and developed recommendations that steer the 
Administration towards a shared, strategic vision and an ambitious, 
outcome-focused cybersecurity end-goal. Additionally , NSTAC members 
will receive a status update on the Advancing Resiliency and Fostering 
Innovation in the ICT Ecosystem study, which is examining technology 
capabilities that are critical to NS/EP functions in the evolving ICT 
ecosystem and Government measures and policy actions to manage near 
term risks, support innovation, and enhance vendor diversity for NS/EP-
critical capabilities.
    The committee will also meet in a closed session from 10:00 a.m. to 
12:00 p.m. to receive a classified briefing regarding cybersecurity 
threats.
    Basis for Closure: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)(A) 
and(9)(B), The Government in the Sunshine Act, it has been determined 
that one agenda item requires closure, as the disclosure of the 
information discussed would not be in the public interest.
    The classified briefing and discussion will provide members with a 
cybersecurity threat briefing on vulnerabilities related to the 
communications infrastructure. Disclosure of these threats would 
provide criminals who seek to compromise commercial and Government 
networks with information

[[Page 54136]]

on potential vulnerabilities and mitigation techniques, weakening the 
Nation's cybersecurity posture. This briefing will be at the classified 
top secret/sensitive compartmented information level, thereby exempting 
disclosure of the content by statute. Therefore, this portion of the 
meeting is required to be closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)(A) & 
(9)(B).

    Dated: October 19, 2018.
Helen Jackson,
Designated Federal Officer for the NSTAC.
