under Executive Order 14110 on Safe, Secure, and Trustworthy 
Development and Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) (E.O. 14110), 
issued on October 30, 2023 (88 FR 75191). The four draft documents are: 
NIST AI 600-1, Artificial Intelligence Risk Management Framework: 
Generative Artificial Intelligence Profile; NIST SP 800-218A, Secure 
Software Development Practices for Generative AI and Dual-Use 
Foundation Models; NIST AI 100-5, A Plan for Global Engagement on AI

    The drafts of NIST AI 600-1, NIST AI 100-5, and NIST AI 100-4 were 
informed by responses to a Request for Information (RFI) that was 
published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2023 (88 FR 88368), 
in which NIST requested information to assist in carrying out several 
of its responsibilities under E.O. 14110. The comments and information 
received in response to that RFI are available at https://www.nist.gov/artificial-intelligence/executive-order-safe-secure-and-trustworthy-artificial-intelligence/comments and at https://www.regulations.gov 
under docket number NIST-2023-0009. The draft of NIST SP 800-218A was 
informed by a virtual workshop that was held on January 17, 2024 
(https://www.nist.gov/news-events/events/nist-secure-software-development-framework-generative-ai-and-dual-use-foundation).
    The drafts of NIST AI 600-1, NIST AI 100-5, and NIST AI 100-4 are
