REPLY TO SIT
ATTN OF:
SUBJECT: Draft NTISS Directive no. 901, "NTISS Issuance System" (U) - Action
Memorandum -
TO: Executive Secretary, NTISSC
National Security Agency
Fort George G Meade, MD 20755-6000
1. Reference NTISSC Memorandum 20-85, dated 24 April 1985.
Comments concerning the subject document are provided below, as
requested.
a. Recommend Sec II, para 2c, be changed to read as follows:
"NTISSCIs are promulgated by the National Manager for Telecommuni-
cations and Automated Information Systems Security following coord-
ination with and majority vote tZ NTISSC members and are binding
upon all federal departments and agencies.".
Rationale: NTISSIs, like policies, directives, and releases, are
binding on the departments and agencies. We believe, therefore,
that they deserve the same procedures. They could be handled as
releases are, with accompanying vote sheets.
b. Recommend Sec III, para 3f be added to reflect the following
idea: "Retain 5000 series numbering system for TEMPEST memoranda.".
Appendix would then need to reverse Compusec and TEMPEST and reduce
TEMPEST by 1000 numbers to 5000-5999.
Rationale: We recognize this to be contrary to the NTISSC charter.
We expect TEMPEST guidance to be stable. It is promulgated to the
lowest levels. We believe changing the series will result in
misdirection of future documents.
C. Recommend Sec IV, Para 4g be added as follows:
"Providing draft of all issuances to NTISSC membership at least 60
days prior to required response.".
Rationale: Less than 60 days is inadequate to provide the documents
to Major Commands and agencies outside the Washington Metropolitan
area for their review and subsequent consolidation of comments.
2. POC is Mr. Dalton, HQ USAF/SITT, AV 225-4780.
