    The FACA requires that notices of meetings of advisory 
committees be announced in the Federal Register 15 days prior to the 
meeting date. However, this notice of the NIAC meeting is being 
published in the Federal Register notice on April 27, 2017 10 days 
prior to the meeting due to the immediate need for the NIAC members 
to meet to discuss cyber threats to critical infrastructure. 
Notwithstanding the difficulties that delayed publication, this NIAC 
meeting must occur. Although the meeting notice was published in the 
Federal Register late, the meeting date was announced during the 
public meeting on February 16, 2017 and the agenda will be published 
on the NIAC Web site listed in this Federal Register Notice.

    Dated: April 17, 2017.
Ginger Norris,
Designated Federal Officer for the National Infrastructure Advisory 
Council.
