Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528, telephone (703) 235-5349.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 24, 2006, the Secretary of the 
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published notice in the Federal 
Register (71 FR 14930) announcing the establishment of the Critical 
Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council (CIPAC). That first CIPAC 
Notice identified the CIPAC's intended purpose as facilitating 
interaction between representatives of government and the community of 
critical infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) owners and operators 
in each critical sector. As set forth in that notice, that interaction 
will include the following activities: ``planning; coordination; 
security program implementation; operational activities related to 
critical infrastructure protection security measures, including 
incident response, recovery, and reconstitution from events both man-
made and naturally occurring; and the sharing of information about 
threats, vulnerabilities, protective measures, best practices, and 
lessons learned.''
    CIPAC is designed to include as many of the owners and/or operators 
and the owner and/or operator representative trade associations deemed 
by each sector's Sector Coordinating Council (SCC) as necessary 
participants in the activities described in the March 24, 2006 Notice. 
That first Notice provided a list of the CIPAC membership from each 
sector as of that date. That first Notice also stated that the CIPAC 
Executive Secretariat would work with each SCC's leadership and with 
the Sector Specific Federal Agency for each sector to compile a list of 
the CIPAC SCC members from each sector. It further stated that the 
Department would publish a subsequent Notice identifying these 
additional members of the CIPAC.
    Consistent with that statement, this second Notice announces the 
current membership. This notice also contains the government entities 
that comprise the Government Coordinating Council for each sector. 
CIPAC membership identification is an ongoing process. Some sectors are 
currently in the process of organizing themselves and will provide 
additional names to DHS as they develop. Upon review to ensure that the 
entities provided meet the definition of CIPAC membership contemplated 
by the Department (i.e., that the institutions identified are, ``owners 
and/or operators or trade associations representing the interests of 
owners and/or operators that own and invest in infrastructure assets, 
in the systems and processes to secure them, and that are held 
responsible by the public for their operations and the response and 
their recovery when their infrastructures or key resources are 
disrupted''), the institutions accepted as members of the CIPAC will be 
added to the CIPAC membership roster published on the CIPAC Web site 
(http://www.dhs.gov/cipac). That CIPAC Web site will maintain an 
updated list of all Sector industry/institutional CIPAC membership, all 
government entities involved in CIPAC, and the membership of all formal 
task force and working group entities established and acting within 
CIPAC. Quarterly, the Department will publish in the Federal Register, 
instructions how the public can obtain the most current roster of CIPAC 
membership as well as the membership of all formal task force and 
working group entities within CIPAC.

    Dated: June 20, 2006.

Director, Infrastructure Programs Office, Infrastructure Partnerships 
Division, United States Department of Homeland Security.
