I. Background The NCIRP was first written and developed in accordance with Presidential Policy Directive 41 (PPD-41)—U.S. Cyber Incident Coordination and describes how the federal government; private sector; and state, local, tribal, and territorial
(SLTT)government entities will coordinate to manage, respond to, and mitigate the consequences of significant cyber incidents. Due to the evolving cyber threat landscape—including increasing risks to critical infrastructure and public services—the need to update the NCIRP has never been greater. II. NCIRP Update The NCIRP Update is being led by CISA through the Joint Cyber Defense Collaborative (JCDC), a public-private cybersecurity collaborative established by CISA to unite the global cyber community in the collective defense of cyberspace. The JCDC leverages joint cyber planning authorities granted to the agency by Congress in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act (codified at 6 U.S.C. 665b). The update addresses changes in the cyber threat and operations landscape by incorporating feedback and lessons learned from stakeholders to make the updated NCIRP more fully inclusive across non-federal stakeholders—further establishing a foundation for continued improvement of the nation's response to significant cyber incidents. III. Coordination CISA, through JCDC, coordinated with a range of experts and stakeholders across a wide spectrum of federal government agencies, international partners, SLTT entities, and private industry to receive each entity's input to help guide the content of the NCIRP Update. For more information, including background information and opportunities for stakeholder engagement, you can visit *https://www.cisa.gov/national-cyber-incident-response-plan-ncirp.* IV. Draft NCIRP Update Document Availability The draft NCIRP Update is available on CISA's website for download at: *https://www.cisa.gov/national-cyber-incident-response-plan-ncirp* and on the docket to read the draft National Cyber Incident Response Plan (NCIRP) Update on *www.regulations.gov.* This notice is issued under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 652, 659, 660, and 665b.
