SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 FedRAMP authorizations for cloud 
service providers.
    [cir] Measures to increase the number of FedRAMP authorizations for 
cloud computing products and services offered by small businesses 
concerns (as defined by section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15 
U.S.C. 632(a)).
    [cir] Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the burden and 
cost of FedRAMP authorizations for agencies.
     Collect information and feedback on agency compliance 
with, and implementation of, FedRAMP requirements.
     Serve as a forum that facilitates communication and 
collaboration among the FedRAMP stakeholder community.
    The FSCAC will meet no fewer than three (3) times a calendar year. 
Meetings shall occur as frequently as needed, called, and approved by 
the DFO.

Purpose of the Meeting and Agenda

    The July 16, 2024 public meeting will be dedicated to providing the

Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP)'' (OMB Draft 
Memo), and a program update by FedRAMP. Deliberations will be held in 
order to develop an approach and plan for the Committee to deliver
