  1. ANSI Homeland Security Standards Panel (ANSI HSSP)Dan Bart, Co-Chair HSSPChair, ANSI Organizational Member ForumCISWGApril 9, 2003

  2. Overview • Introduction to the American National Standards Institute • Background: Standards Coordination Needed • ANSI Homeland Security Standards Panel (HSSP) • Formation /Goals and Expectations • Roles and Tasks • Actions to Date • Interim Steering Committee Structure • Considerations with Respect to HSSP Structure • Next Steps • Questions and Answers

  3. Mission To enhance the global competitiveness of U.S. business and the American quality of life by promoting and facilitating voluntary consensus standards and conformity assessment systems and ensuring their integrity. A Private- and Public-Sector Partnership Since 1918

  4. A Federation of members representing . . . • Professional Societies • Service Organizations • Standards Developers • Consumer and Labor Interests • and many more. • Academia • Individuals • Government • Companies • Trade Associations Bringing the Private- & Public-Sectors Together Since 1918

  5. ANSI is . . . • an “umbrella” organization for the U.S. voluntary consensus standards community • a private-sector led and public-sector supported standards coordination body • a not-for-profit organization • ANSI is not . . . • a standards development organization (SDO) • a government agency

  6. ANSI’s roles and responsibilities are to: • accredit U.S. Standards Developers, U.S. Technical Advisory Groups and conformity assessment systems • ensure integrity of the U.S. voluntary consensus standards system by audit of SDOs and appeals process • provide regional and international access • respond to urgent national priorities • offer a neutral policy forum for standards coordination issues

  7. Background:Standards Coordination Needed • The National Strategy for Homeland Security (July 2002)identified the need for standards to support homeland security (HS) and emergency preparedness • January 2, 2003 Report for Congress states:“Neither the federal government, nor the nongovernmental sector presently has a comprehensive, consolidated program for developing new preparedness standards.”

  8. ANSI Forms Homeland Security Standards Panel (HSSP) • February 5, 2003: Formation of HSSP announced • Emphasis on: • promoting and facilitating a cooperative partnership between the public and private sectors • HSSP Co-chairs to be provided by ANSI and government • providing the venue where each agrees to cooperate • recognizing the significant work that is already underway or that has been completed by a vast array of standards-setting bodies • coordinating and facilitating interoperability among the many homeland security standards solutions being proposed

  9. HSSP (continued) • For planning purposes, a model based on the ANSI Information Infrastructure Standards Panel (IISP) • An ANSI-sponsored group formed in the mid-1990’s to identify requirements for the emerging U.S. Information Technology infrastructure (“Information Superhighway”) • Relies upon an expansive, open and well-tested network to align standardization experts with urgent national priorities. • Recognizes need to be flexible as standards needs change

  10. ANSI Timeline on HSSP

  11. HSSP Roles • Facilitate the development and enhancement of HS, critical infrastructure protection, and emergency preparedness standards • Serve as private/public sector forum for standards issues that cut cross-sector • A forum for information sharing on HS standards issues • Will not itself develop standards • Not a “gatekeeper” for access to DHS or other agencies

  12. HSSP Tasks • Continue to actively solicit participation from industry sectors and groups traditionally outside the voluntary standards system (e.g., fora/consortia) • Identify current work and identify unmet needs • Catalogue existing standards/projects to facilitate standards development in various homeland security-related focus areas where they do not exist • Establish and maintain an online database of reported HS standards/projects -- a portal to HS standards information, especially for the non-traditional standards user

  13. Main Actions Taken • Outreach to solicit participation and to begin gathering data about existing standards • A questionnaire was distributed to nearly 300 standards developers on February 3, 2003 • Recipients were encouraged to promulgate the survey to other interested parties, especially non-traditional standards-setting bodies such as consortia • Substantial number of responses received; more arriving daily. Currently being catalogued. • Press Releases and Presentations at Conferences to reach others (i.e., non-ANSI)

  14. Actions Taken (continued) • Development of HSSP website (www.ansi.org/hssp) and Homeland Security portal on ANSI Online • Meetings with staff of the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies, groups • Formation of Interim Steering Committee (ISC) as a planning group to discuss overall structure for the HSSP going forward • Initially comprising representatives from each of the Target areas identified in the National Strategy for Homeland Security

  15. ANSI Co-Chair (ANSI Chairman Designee) Dan Bart 10 ANSI SDOs 10 non-ANSI SDOs (may not all be filled initially) 10 companies (ANSI and non-ANSI) 1-4 At large seats Union Consumer Academia State/Local TOTAL 43-46 seats Plus 2 Special Advisors Government Co-Chair (NIST Director Designee) Mary Saunders 10 Government Agencies, incl: DHS, DOD, EPA, DOE, Dept. of Treasury, HHS, USDA, DOI ISC is a Planning and Sounding Board, not a governing body, HSSP-wide decisions at Panel Plenary Meetings, Sector Decisions within the Sectors In the future after start-up, nominating/selection process of involved parties will fill all but Government and Co-chair slots HSSP Interim Steering Committee

Two Special Advisors Generally do not attend meetings unless asked by Co-chairs for particular issues Monitor work electronically Non-voting slots Knowledgeable about standards, security, long career track record, well known in DC area Named by ANSI: Dr. Robert Hermann, former chairman of the ANSI Board, retired in 1998 from United Technologies Corporation, senior vice president, science and technology. Prior to UTC, Dr. Hermann served 20 years with the National Security Agency, R&D, operations, and NATO. Was Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Communications, Command, Control and Intelligence, Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for R&D and logistics, and former Director of the NRO.

As chairman the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, he prepared the budget and conducted oversight of the multibillion dollar intelligence community and led a drive to reorganize that community.

  29. ANSI HSSP Structure Considerations • Need for Sector/Target Working Groups? (some or all of 11) • Asset Area Working Groups? • Cross Sector/Target/Asset Group? • Threat Working Groups? • Other • Education, Training and Awareness • Conformity Assessment • International Cooperation

  30. Next Steps • Reach agreement on final membership of ISC and initial structure of HSSP • Solicit organizations to fill new ISC slots • Meet again at ISC level, May 7 • Convene the full Panel and identify convenors for specific activities • Early deliverables: • Information sharing and database/web portal • Unmet standards needs mapped to willing SDOs
