SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background

GSA, in compliance with the FedRAMP Authorization Act of
2022 (the Act), established the FSCAC, a statutory advisory
committee in accordance with the provisions of FACA, as amended
(5 U.S.C. 10). The Federal Risk and Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP) within GSA is responsible for providing a
standardized, reusable approach to security assessment and
authorization for cloud computing products and services that
process unclassified information used by agencies.
The FSCAC will provide advice and recommendations to the
Administrator of GSA, the FedRAMP Board, and agencies on
technical, financial, programmatic, and operational matters
regarding the secure adoption of cloud computing products and
services. The FSCAC will ensure effective and ongoing
coordination of agency adoption, use, authorization, monitoring,
acquisition, and security of cloud computing products and
services to enable agency mission and administrative priorities.
The purposes of the Committee are:
● To examine the operations of FedRAMP and determine ways
that authorization processes can continuously be improved,
including the following:
â—‹ Measures to increase agency reuse of FedRAMP
authorizations.
â—‹ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the
burden, confusion, and cost associated with FedRAMP
authorizations for cloud service providers.
â—‹ Measures to increase the number of FedRAMP
authorizations for cloud computing products and

services offered by small businesses concerns (as
defined by section 3(a) of the Small Business Act (15
U.S.C. 632(a)).
â—‹ Proposed actions that can be adopted to reduce the
burden and cost of FedRAMP authorizations for
agencies.
● Collect information and feedback on agency compliance
with, and implementation of, FedRAMP requirements.
● Serve as a forum that facilitates communication and
collaboration among the FedRAMP stakeholder community.
The FSCAC will meet no fewer than three (3) times a calendar
year. Meetings shall occur as frequently as needed, called, and
approved by the DFO.
Purpose of the Meeting and Agenda
The July 16, 2024 public meeting will be dedicated to
providing the Committee with additional information pertinent to
their new initiatives. Presentations may be held on updates to
the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) draft Memorandum
titled “Modernizing the Federal Risk Authorization Management
Program (FedRAMP)” (OMB Draft Memo), and a program update by
FedRAMP. Deliberations will be held in order to develop an
approach and plan for the Committee to deliver their next
recommendations to the GSA Administrator. The meeting agenda
will be posted on https://gsa.gov/fscac prior to the meeting.
