This study will be coordinated with the Department of Transportation, which is establishing PNT requirements for the transportation sector. The requirements defined and validated by the study will support key decisions in the development of complementary PNT solution(s). Accurate PNT is essential for critical infrastructures across the country. Currently, the Global Positioning System (GPS) is the primary source of PNT information. However, GPS signals are susceptible to both unintentional and intentional disruption leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable to operational impacts from disruptions. Due to the essential need for precise timing within many of the critical infrastructure sectors, DHS will initially focus the study on timing requirements within the electricity and wireless communications sectors. Subsequently, DHS will engage additional sectors and expand the study to include positioning and navigation requirements. 81 FR 65390 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-09-22/2016-22884 2016-22884 fr22se16-86 9110-9P-P Docket No. DHS 2016-0060 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2016-09-22/2016-22884 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-09-22/html/2016-22884.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-09-22/pdf/2016-22884.pdf 1 p. 65390 65390 81 FR 65390 National Protection and Programs Directorate; Federal Register Vol. 81, Issue NOTICE 2016-22884 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Docket No. DHS 2016-0060 9110-9P-P 2016-22884 Study Participation; notice for voluntary participation regarding Positioning, Navigation, and Timing Study.
