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 

Kiesha Gebreyes as soon as possible.



    Dated: November 20, 2006.
