ABOUT THE SMALL AGENCY CIO COUNCIL

The Small Agency CIO Council (SACC) is comprised of the CIOs from about 90 small, independent federal agencies. The SACC members meet about ten times a year, discussing the President's Management Agenda, best practices, computer security, and other issues of interest to the community. Like the "large" CIO Council, the SACC also serves as an effective liaison between the agency CIOs and OMB, ensuring that small, independent agencies have a forum for discussing OMB guidance and reporting requirements.

NEWS AND IMPORTANT DATES

June 23, 2006
OMB Releases M06-16, "Protection of Sensitive Agency Information" memo. Agencies have 45 days to address the issues in the memo.

DOCUMENTS

Just added: The OMB 016 Excel Template may be helpful to you in complying with OMB M-06-16.  It was created by the Department of Commerce and was distributed to attendees of the recent Potomac Forum training session on PII.  Our thanks to both Potomac and DOC for providing this template.

The policies and procedures were developed for the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency based on the NIST SP 800-53 security controls.  These policies and procedures are generic enough that you should be able to easily modify them for your agency to meet the NIST 800-53 Control Family requirements. Contact Tim Barnes for more information.

To join the SACC CIO Staff e-mail distribution list:
All Small Agency CIOs are automatically put onto GSA's [SMALLAG] e-mail list.  The SACC uses this list to contact the CIOs quite frequently.

We also maintain a second list, called [sacc-cio-staff] that is used to send out important announcements to CIO staff members at small agencies.  This could include IT staff, procurement people, security personnel -- anyone interested in keeping up-to-date on the latest meetings and projects of the Small Agency CIO Council.

This list is for federal employees only.  It isn't for vendors.  If you don't have a ".gov" address, we will remove you from the list.  (If you are the rare small agency that doesn't uses .gov, contact us to work something out).
