This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

Notice of public workshop.
This Notice announces a public workshop on July 30, 2015 to discuss Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations, Automated Threat Information Sharing, and Analysis Capabilities and Requirements, as related to Executive Order 13691, “Promoting Private Sector Cybersecurity Information Sharing” of February 13, 2015. This workshop builds off of the workshop held on June 9, 2015 at the Volpe Center in Cambridge, MA.
The workshop will be held on July 30, 2015, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The meeting may conclude before the allotted time if all matters for discussion have been addressed.
The meeting location is Silicon Valley at San Jose State University—1 Washington Sq., San Jose, CA 95192. See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for the address to submit written or electronic comments.
Executive Order 13691 can be found at: https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/02/13/executive-order-promoting-private-sector-cybersecurity-information-shari.
If you have questions concerning the meeting, please contact ISAO@hq.dhs.gov or Michael A. Echols, Director, JPMO, Department of Homeland Security, michael.echols@dhs.gov.
On February 13, 2015, President Obama signed Executive Order 13691 intended to enable and facilitate “private companies, nonprofit organizations, and executive departments and agencies . . . to share information related to cybersecurity risks and incidents and collaborate to respond in as close to real time as possible.” The order addresses two concerns the private sector has raised:
ISAOs may allow organizations to robustly participate in DHS information sharing programs even if they do not fit into an existing critical infrastructure sector, seek to collaborate with other companies in different ways (regionally, for example), or lack sufficient resources to share directly with the government. ISAOs may participate in existing DHS cybersecurity information sharing programs and contribute to near-real-time sharing of cyber threat indicators.
For information on facilities or services for individuals with disabilities or to request special assistance at the public meeting, contact ISAO@hq.dhs.gov and write “Special Assistance” in the subject box or contact the meeting coordinator the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice.
Members of the public may attend this workshop by RSVP only up to the seating capacity of the room. We plan to audio record the Workshop Panels that ( printed page 38454) take place in the San Jose State University Ball Room and to make that audio recording available on the ISAO Web page DHS.gov/ISAO. A valid government-issued photo identification (for example, a driver's license) will be required for entrance to the building and meeting space. Those who plan to attend should RSVP through the link provided on the ISAO Web page DHS.gov/ISAO 7 days prior to the meeting. Requests made after July 23, 2015 might not be able to be accommodated.
We encourage you to participate in this meeting by submitting comments to the ISAO inbox ISAO@hq.dhs.gov, commenting orally, or submitting written comments to the DHS personnel attending the meeting who are identified to receive them.
You may also submit written comments to the docket using any one of the following methods:
(1) Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Although comments are being submitted to the Federal eRulemaking Portal, this is a tool to provide transparency to the general public, not because this is a rulemaking action.
(2) Email:ISAO@hq.dhs.gov. Include the docket number in the subject line of the message.
(3) Fax: 703-235-4981, Attn: Michael A. Echols.
(4) Mail: Michael A. Echols, Director, JPMO-ISAO Coordinator, NPPD, Department of Homeland Security, 245 Murray Lane, Mail Stop 0615, Arlington VA 20598-0615.
To avoid duplication, please use only one of these four methods. All comments must either be submitted to the online docket on or before July 20, 2015, or reach the Docket Management Facility by that date.
Dated: June 23, 2015.

Assistant Secretary, Cybersecurity and Communications, National Protection and Programs Directorate, Department of Homeland Security.
