Burk, Reason: 1\/4 (B), (D), (E), and (G)<\/p>\n<p>\u00b61. (U\/\/FOUO) This is an action request; see Para. 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b62. (U\/\/FOUO) Under the direction of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) was written to provide the unifying structure for the integration of critical infrastructure and key resources (CI\/KR) protection into a single national program. The overarching goal of the NIPP is to build a safer, more secure, and more resilient America by enhancing protection of the nation&#8217;s CI\/KR to prevent, deter, neutralize or mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts by terrorists to destroy, incapacitate or exploit them; and to strengthen national preparedness, timely response, and rapid recovery in the event of an attack, natural disaster or other emergency.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b63. (U\/\/FOUO) In addition to a list of critical domestic CI\/KR, the NIPP requires compilation and annual update of a comprehensive inventory of CI\/KR that are located outside U.S. borders and whose loss could critically impact the public health, economic security, and\/or national and homeland security of the United States. DHS in collaboration with State developed the Critical Foreign Dependencies Initiative (CFDI)to identify these critical U.S. foreign dependencies &#8212; foreign CI\/KR that may affect systems within the U.S. directly or indirectly. State is coordinating with DHS to develop the 2009 inventory, and the action request in Para. 13 represents the initial step in this process.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b64. (U\/\/FOUO) The NIPP does not define CI\/KR. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD 7) references definitions in two separate statutes. In the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 5195(e)) &#8220;critical infrastructure&#8221; is defined as systems and assets, whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United States the incapacitation or destruction of such systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on security, national economic security, national public health or safety, or any combination of those matters. In the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101(9)) &#8220;key resources&#8221; are defined as publicly or privately controlled resources essential to the minimal operations of the economy and government.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b65. (U\/\/FOUO) The NIPP identifies 18 CI\/KR sectors: agriculture and food; defense industrial base; energy; healthcare and public health; national monuments and icons; banking and finance; drinking water and water treatment systems; chemical; commercial facilities; dams; emergency services; commercial nuclear reactors, materials, and waste; information technology; communications; postal and shipping; transportation and systems; government facilities; and critical manufacturing. Obviously some of these sectors are more likely to have international components than other sectors.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b66. (U\/\/FOUO) Department is surveying posts for their input on critical infrastructure and key resources within their host country which, if destroyed, disrupted or exploited, would likely have an immediate and deleterious effect on the United States. We expect posts, after consultation among all sections and agencies, will in many instances immediately recognize whether such CI\/KR exist in their host country. Posts are not\/not being asked to consult with host governments with respect to this request.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b67. (U\/\/FOUO) Building upon the initial survey completed in 2008, Department requests each post reassess and update information about infrastructure and resources in each host country whose loss could immediately affect the public health, economic security, and\/or national and homeland security of the United States. This reassessment may include suggestions from posts for removing, modifying, or adding CI\/KR to the list developed in 2008 (see the list of CI\/KR identified in 2008 in Para. 15 below).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b68. (U\/\/FOUO) The following three categories should be considered when determining whether critical foreign dependencies exist in the host country: 1) direct physical linkages (e.g., pipelines, undersea telecommunications cables, and assets located in close enough proximity to the U.S. border their destruction could cause cross-border consequences, such as damage to dams and chemical facilities); 2) sole or predominantly foreign\/host-country sourced goods and services (e.g., minerals or chemicals critical to U.S. industry, a critical finished product manufactured in one or only a small number of countries, or a telecom hub whose destruction might seriously disrupt global communications); and 3) critical supply chain nodes (e.g., the Strait of Hormuz and Panama Canal, as well as any ports or shipping lanes in the host-country critical to the functioning of the global supply chain).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b69. (U\/\/FOUO) Although they are important issues, Department is not\/not seeking information at this time on second-order effects (e.g., public morale and confidence, and interdependency effects that might cascade from a disruption).<\/p>\n<p>\u00b610. (U\/\/FOUO) Posts do not need to report government facilities overseas managed by State or war fighting facilities managed by other departments or agencies.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b611. (U\/\/FOUO) The following general information should be addressed when nominating elements for inclusion, removal, or modification:\u00a0 &#8212; (U\/\/FOUO) Name and physical location of the asset, system, or supply chain node.\u00a0 &#8212; (U\/\/FOUO) Post&#8217;s rationale for including, modifying, or removing an asset, system, or supply chain node.\u00a0 &#8212; (U\/\/FOUO) Any information Post has regarding conditions in country causing Post to believe the CI\/KR is an active target or especially vulnerable due to natural circumstances.\u00a0 &#8212; (U\/\/FOUO) Any information Post has regarding CIP activities in country and who\/what agency is responsible for those activities.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b612. (U\/\/FOUO) Questions can be directed to Sharri R. Clark in S\/CT: ClarkSR@state.sgov.gov; ClarkSR@state.gov; 202-647-1514. Alternatively, questions can be directed to S. Gail Robertson in S\/CT: RobertsonSG2@state.sgov.gov; RobertsonSG@state.gov, 202-647-3769.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b613. (U\/\/FOUO) ACTION REQUEST: Posts are requested to report by March 20, 2009 on CI\/KR in their host country meeting the criteria outlined above and a brief explanation of why posts believes the asset meets the criteria. Due to the potential sensitivity of assets identified, posts are asked to consider the necessity of classifying their responses appropriately. Please note the list in its entirety is classified S\/NF. If post determines there are no such CI\/KR in its host country, a negative report is requested. Please send replies to the attention of Sharri R. Clark in S\/CT and use the subject line &#8220;CI\/KR Response for S\/CT&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b614. (U\/\/FOUO) Posts&#8217; assistance with providing input to the first list created in 2008 was invaluable, and Department appreciates Posts&#8217; continuing cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00b615.
