SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The NCIRP was first written and developed in accordance with
Presidential Policy Directive 41 (PPD-41)--U.S. Cyber Incident
Coordination and describes how the federal government; private sector;
and state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) government entities
will coordinate to manage, respond to, and mitigate the consequences of
significant cyber incidents. Due to the evolving cyber threat
landscape--including increasing risks to critical infrastructure and
public services--the need to update the NCIRP has never been greater.
II. NCIRP Update
The NCIRP Update is being led by CISA through the Joint Cyber
Defense Collaborative (JCDC), a public-private cybersecurity
collaborative established by CISA to unite the global cyber community
in the collective defense of cyberspace. The JCDC leverages joint cyber
planning authorities granted to the agency by Congress in the 2021
National Defense Authorization Act (codified at 6 U.S.C. 665b). The
update addresses changes in the cyber threat and operations landscape
by incorporating feedback and lessons learned from stakeholders to make
the updated NCIRP more fully inclusive across non-federal
stakeholders--further establishing a foundation for continued
improvement of the nation's response to significant cyber incidents.
III. Coordination
CISA, through JCDC, coordinated with a range of experts and
stakeholders across a wide spectrum of federal government agencies,
international partners, SLTT entities, and private industry to receive
each entity's input to help guide the content of the NCIRP Update. For
more information, including background information and opportunities
for stakeholder engagement, you can visit https://www.cisa.gov/national-cyber-incident-response-plan-ncirp.
IV. Draft NCIRP Update Document Availability
The draft NCIRP Update is available on CISA's website for download
at: https://www.cisa.gov/national-cyber-incident-response-plan-ncirp
and on the docket to read the draft National Cyber Incident Response
Plan (NCIRP) Update on www.regulations.gov.
This notice is issued under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 652, 659,
660, and 665b.
