Background

    GSA, in compliance with the FedRAMP Authorization Act of 2022 (the 
Act), established the FSCAC, a statutory advisory committee in 
accordance with the provisions of FACA, as amended (5 U.S.C. 10). The 
Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) within GSA 
is responsible for providing a standardized, reusable approach to 
security assessment and authorization for cloud computing products and 
services that process unclassified information used by agencies. The 
FSCAC will provide advice and recommendations to the Administrator of 
GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and agencies on technical, financial, 
programmatic, and operational matters regarding the secure adoption of 
cloud computing products and services. The FSCAC will ensure effective 
and ongoing coordination of agency adoption, use, authorization, 
monitoring, acquisition, and security of cloud computing products and 
services to enable agency mission and administrative priorities. The 
purposes of the Committee are:
     To examine the operations of FedRAMP and determine ways 
that authorization processes can continuously be improved, including 
the following:
    [cir] Measures to increase agency reuse of FedRAMP authorizations.
    [cir] Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden, 
confusion, and cost associated with
