The Act requires the FASC to identify an appropriate executive agency—the FASC's Information Sharing Agency (ISA)—to perform the administrative information sharing functions on behalf of the FASC, as enumerated in the law at 41 U.S.C. 1323(a)(3). The ISA will facilitate and provide the administrative support to a FASC supply chain and risk management Task Force; and serve as the liaison to the FASC to communicate the Task Force efforts, as the Task Force develops the processes under which the functions in 41 U.S.C. 1323(a)(3) will be implemented on behalf of the FASC. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), acting primarily through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, is named the appropriate executive agency to serve as the FASC's ISA. The ISA's administrative functions are not construed to limit or impair the authority or responsibilities of any other federal agency with respect to information sharing.
(a) All references in this part to the “submission of information to the FASC” mean the submission of information to the ISA and the Task Force, on behalf of the FASC, pursuant to the FASC–approved processes and procedures described in this Section.
(b) The ISA and the Task Force will carry out administrative information dissemination functions on behalf of the FASC, and any references to the “dissemination of information by the FASC” mean dissemination of information by the ISA, on behalf of the FASC, pursuant to the FASC–approved processes and procedures described in this Section.
(c) Interagency Supply Chain Risk Management Task Force. The FASC will identify members for an interagency supply chain risk management (SCRM) task force (the Task Force) to assist the FASC with implementing its information sharing, risk analysis, and risk assessment functions as described in 41 U.S.C. 1323(a)(3). The purpose of the Task Force is to allow the FASC to capitalize on the various supply chain risk management and information sharing efforts across the federal enterprise. This Task Force will include technical experts in SCRM and related interdisciplinary experts from agencies identified in § 201.103 and any other agency, or agency component, the FASC Chairperson identifies. The ISA will facilitate the efforts of and provide administrative support to the Task Force and periodically report to the FASC on the Task Force efforts. The ISA will convene the Task Force, including providing a physical location/facility to host the Task Force.
(d) The ISA, in consultation with the Task Force, will submit to the FASC for approval:
(1) Processes and procedures describing how the ISA and the Task Force will operate and support the FASC;
(2) Processes and procedures describing how federal and non-federal entities must submit supply chain risk information (both mandatory and voluntary submissions of information) to the FASC, including any necessary requirements for information handling, protection and classification;
(3) Processes and procedures for the ISA to notify the federal entity that provided classified information to the ISA, prior to disseminating that classified information;
(4) Processes and procedures describing how the ISA and the Task Force will facilitate the sharing of information to support supply chain risk analyses under 41 U.S.C. 1326, recommendations issued by the FASC, and covered procurement actions under 41 U.S.C. 4713;
(5) Process and procedures describing how the ISA and Task Force will provide information to the FASC and to executive agencies regarding covered procurement actions by agencies and any issued removal orders and covered procurement actions; and
(6) Any other processes and procedures describing the operations of the Task Force as determined by the FASC Chairperson.
(e) The ISA will also identify to the FASC any ISA resource gaps, including, but not limited to, gaps in staffing, budget, organization, training, materials, and facility needs that may be necessary to implement its duties pursuant to this part.
