Major Initiatives
Blue Campaign
In July 2009, Secretary Napolitano launched the Blue
Campaign—a national initiative to combat human trafficking
through enhanced public awareness, victim assistance programs,
and law enforcement training and initiatives. The Blue
Campaign encompasses a wide range of anti-trafficking
programs designed to engage the American and global public,
the Department’s federal, state, local and tribal law enforcement
partners, nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, the
private sector, and governments around the world.

Major Initiatives
PS-Prep
PS-Prep is a voluntary certification to enhance private sector
preparedness and improve nationwide resilience. The program
provides a mechanism by which a private sector entity may be
certified by an accredited third-party, establishing that the
private sector entity conforms to one or more preparedness
standards adopted by DHS. Private sector entities are not
required to comply with any standard under the program,
although DHS encourages all private sector entities to consider
seeking certification.

Major Initiatives
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) For A Day
DHS for a Day is an opportunity for private sector partners to
learn more about the DHS mission and our operations and
engagement throughout the nation. The program seeks to
improve communication and interaction between private sector
and the rest of the homeland security enterprise. Past events
include a tour of the U.S. Secret Service James J. Rowley
Training Center and a trip to San Diego to learn more about the
United States Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection

activities in that area.

Major Initiatives
Global Entry
Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
program to expedite pre-approved, low-risk air travelers
through use of automated kiosks at the 20 largest U.S.
international airports. By bypassing regular passport control
queues and routine CBP questioning Global Entry significantly
reduces overall wait times.
Global entry has saved CBP approximately 16,300 inspection
hours—staff hours that have been used to expedite the regular
passenger queues.

Fusion Center
State and major urban area fusion centers (fusion centers) are
owned and operated by state and local entities, and are
designated by the governor of their state. In accordance with
the Federal Resource Allocation Criteria (RAC) policy, which
defines objective criteria and a coordinated approach for
prioritizing the allocation of federal resources to fusion centers,
the federal government recognizes these designations and has a
shared responsibility with state and local governments to
support the national network of fusion centers.
Primary fusion centers serve as the focal points within the state

and local environment for the receipt, analysis, gathering, and
sharing of threat-related information and have additional
responsibilities related to the coordination of critical
operational capabilities across the statewide fusion process with
other recognized fusion centers.

Critical Infrastructure Sector Partnership
The protection of the nation's critical infrastructure requires an
effective partnership framework that fosters integrated,
collaborative engagement and interaction among public- and
private-sector partners.
The Department of Homeland Security Office of Infrastructure
Protection (IP), in close coordination with public- and private-
sector critical infrastructure partners, leads the coordinated
national effort to mitigate risk to the nation's critical
infrastructure through the development and implementation of
an effective critical infrastructure protection program.
Partnership between the public and private sectors is essential,
in part because the private sector owns and operates
approximately 85% of the nation's critical infrastructure,
government agencies have access to critical threat information,
and each controls security programs, research and development,
and other resources that may be more effective if discussed and
shared, as appropriate, in a partnership setting.
http://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-sector-partnerships

Sector Partnership Structure
Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7) and the
National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) provide the
overarching framework for a structured partnership between
government and the private sector for protection of critical
infrastructure.
Sector Coordinating Councils (SCC)
Government Coordinating Councils (GCC)
Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Cross-Sector Council
Regional Consortium Coordinating Council
Council (SLTTGCC)

The sector partnership model encourages critical infrastructure
owners and operators to create or identify Sector Coordinating
Councils as the principal entity for coordinating with the
government on a wide range of critical infrastructure protection
activities and issues.
The SCCs are self-organized, self-run, and self-governed, with a
spokesperson designated by the sector membership. Specific
membership will vary from sector to sector, reflecting the
unique composition of each sector; however, membership
should be representative of a broad base of owners, operators,
associations, and other entities—both large and small—within a
sector.
The SCCs enable owners and operators to interact on a wide
range of sector-specific strategies, policies, activities, and
issues. The SCCs serve as principal sector policy coordination
and planning entities.
The primary functions of an SCC include the following:
Represent a primary point of entry for government into the
sector for addressing the entire range of critical infrastructure
protection activities and issues for that sector;
Serve as a strategic communications and coordination

mechanism between critical infrastructure owners, operators,
and suppliers, and, as appropriate, with the government during
emerging threats or response and recovery operations, as
determined by the sector;
Identify, implement, and support the information-sharing
capabilities and mechanisms that are most appropriate for the
sector;
Facilitate inclusive organization and coordination of the
sector’s policy development regarding critical infrastructure
protection planning and preparedness, exercises and training,
public awareness, and associated plan implementation activities
and requirements;
Advise on the integration of federal, state, local, and regional
planning with private-sector initiatives; and
Provide input to the government on sector research and
development efforts and requirements.
The SCCs are encouraged to participate in efforts to develop
voluntary consensus standards to ensure that sector perspectives
are included in standards that affect critical infrastructure
protection.
Government Coordinating Councils (GCC)
A Government Coordinating Council is formed as the
government counterpart for each Sector Coordinating Council
(SCC) to enable interagency and cross-jurisdictional

coordination. The GCC comprises representatives from across
various levels of government (federal, state, local, or tribal), as
appropriate to the operating landscape of each individual sector.
Each GCC is co-chaired by a representative from the designated
Sector-Specific Agency (SSA) with responsibility for ensuring
appropriate representation on the GCC and providing cross-
sector coordination with State, local, and tribal governments.
Each GCC is co-chaired by the Department's Assistant Secretary
for Infrastructure Protection or his/her designee. The GCC
coordinates strategies, activities, policy, and communications
across governmental entities within each sector. The primary
functions of a GCC include the following:
Provide interagency strategic communications and coordination
at the sector level through partnership with DHS, the SSA, and
other supporting agencies across various levels of government;
Participate in planning efforts related to the development,
implementation, update, and revision of the National
Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) and the Sector-Specific
Plans (SSPs);
Coordinate strategic communications and discussion and
resolution of issues among government entities within the
sector; and
Coordinate with and support the efforts of the SCC to plan,
implement, and execute the nation’s critical infrastructure
protection mission.

Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources Cross-Sector Council
Cross-sector issues and interdependencies are addressed among
the SCCs through the Critical Infrastructure and Key Resources
(CIKR) Cross-Sector Council, which comprises the leadership
of each of the SCCs. The Partnership for Critical Infrastructure
Security provides this representation with support from the
Department’s CIKR Executive Secretariat. The partnership
coordinates cross-sector initia-tives to support critical
infrastructure protection by identifying legislative issues that
affect such initiatives and by raising awareness of issues in
critical infrastructure protection. The primary activities of the
CIKR Cross-Sector Council include:
Providing senior-level, cross-sector strategic coordination
through partnership with DHS and the SSAs;
Identifying and disseminating critical infrastructure protection
best practices across the sectors;
Participating in coordinated planning efforts related to the
development, implementation, and revision of the NIPP and the
SSPs or aspects thereof; and coordinating with DHS to support
efforts to plan and execute the nation’s critical infrastructure
protection mission.

Regional Consortium Coordinating Council
Because of the specific challenges and interdependencies facing
individual regions and the broad range of public and private
sector security partners, regional efforts are often complex and
diverse. The Regional Consortium Coordinating Council brings
together representatives of regional part-nerships, groupings,
and governance bodies to enable critical infrastructure
protection coordination among partners within and across
geographical areas and sectors.
http://www.dhs.gov/critical-infrastructure-protection-
partnerships-and-information-sharing#1
The objective of the NIPP Federal Senior Leadership Council is
to drive enhanced communications and coordination among
federal departments and agencies that have a role in
implementing the NIPP and Homeland Security Presidential
Directive-7, “Critical Infrastructure Identification,
Prioritization, and Protection.” The members of the FSLC
include the Sector-Specific Agencies for each of the critical
infrastructure sectors as well as several additional agencies
named in HSPD-7.

Council (SLTTGCC)
The State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Government
Coordinating Council (SLTTGCC) serves as a forum to ensure
that State, local, and tribal homeland security partners are fully
integrated as active participants in national critical
infrastructure protection efforts, and to provide an
organizational structure to coordinate across jurisdictions on
state and local government-level critical infrastructure
protection guidance, strategies, and programs. The SLTTGCC
will provide the state, local, tribal, or territorial perspective or
feedback on a wide variety of critical infrastructure issues. The
primary functions of the SLTTGCC include the following:
Providing senior-level, cross-jurisdictional strategic
communications and coordination through partnership with the
Department, the SSAs, and critical infrastructure owners and
operators;
Participating in planning efforts related to the development,
implementation, update, and revision of the NIPP and SSPs or
aspects thereof;

Council (SLTTGCC)
Coordinating strategic issues and issue management resolution
among federal departments and agencies, and State, local,
tribal, and territorial partners;
Coordinating with the Department to support efforts to plan,
implement, and execute the nation’s critical infrastructure
protection mission; and
Providing the Department with information on state, local,
tribal, and territorial-level critical infrastructure protection
initiatives, activities, and best practices.
The Critical Infrastructure Partnership Advisory Council
(CIPAC) provides the operational mechanism for carrying out
the sector partnership structure. The CIPAC provides the
framework for owner and operator members of Sector
Coordinating Councils (SCC) and members of Government

Coordinating Councils (GCC) to engage in intra-government
and public-private cooperation, information sharing, and
engagement across the entire range of critical infrastructure
protection activities.
Successful execution of the sector partnership structure requires
an environment in which members of the SCCs and GCCs can
interact freely and share sensitive information and advice about
threats, vulnerabilities, protective measures, and lessons
learned. CIPAC, which has been exempted from the
requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),
is the mechanism to allow meaningful dialogue on key critical
infrastructure protection issues and agreement on mutual action
between government and owner/operator entities.
CIPAC is a non-decisional body and includes sector members
and government members. Sector members are the members of
that sector's SCC that are owners and/or operators and the trade
associations that represent them. Government members are the
federal, state, local, and tribal government agencies (or their
representative bodies) that comprise the GCC for each sector.
The most current CIPAC membership list and further
information is maintained on the Internet and can be found on
the Department's CIPAC website.
As portrayed in the diagram, CIPAC consists of "Joint Sector

Committees" that are made up of the GCC members and eligible
SCC members for each sector. For example, there is a Food and
Agriculture Joint Sector Committee made up of Food and
Agriculture GCC and SCC members. The CIPAC also includes
one Joint Cross-Sector Committee, most likely to consist of the
designated private sector and agency leads from each Joint
Sector Committee.
