FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION


Federal Advisory Committee Act; Communications Security,

AGENCY: Federal Communications Commission.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, this 
notice advises interested persons that the Federal Communications 
Commission's (FCC or Commission) Communications Security, Reliability, 
and Interoperability Council (CSRIC) IV will hold its second meeting. 
At the meeting, each of the Working Groups will present an update on 
topics including emergency warning systems, 9-1-1 location accuracy, 
distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), and cybersecurity best practices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The notice of this meeting was first 
published in the Federal Register on November 21, 2013, only 14 days in 
advance of the meeting. While the publication did not meet the 15-day 
requirement for advance publication, exceptional circumstances warrant 
proceeding with the December 4, 2013, CSRIC meeting. CSRIC members were 
informed of the December 4th meeting at the September 12, 2013, public 
meeting of the Council, and have been informed informally of the 
December meeting date on more than one occasion since then. A 
significant number of Council members have made business and travel 
plans in accordance with this schedule, and there is no date within one 
month of the planned date that will accommodate Council members' 
schedules. Delaying the meeting will also cause undue financial burdens 
on many of the members who have made travel arrangements.
    In addition, it is not possible at this time to schedule a half-day 
meeting in the FCC's Commission Meeting Room for any date within one 
month of December 4, 2013. Further, recognizing the one-day delay in 
Federal Register publication, the agency issued a Public Notice of this 
meeting on November 20, 2013, to mitigate the late Federal Register 
publication and as an additional way of advising the public of this 
meeting and their right to attend. As the December 2013 meeting date 
was announced at the September 2013 public meeting of the Council, the 
meeting has now been broadly announced to the public more than once.

Public Notice announcing the meeting is available at http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Releases/Daily_Business/2013/db1120/DA-13-2225A1.pdf. Additional information regarding the CSRIC can be found at
