Background Material

National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP)

The U. S. Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with Federal departments and agencies, State, local and Tribal, and private sector security partners, has completed the preparation of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP). The official announcement of the release was made by Secretary Chertoff on June 30, 2006. The NIPP and supporting materials are available at www.dhs.gov/nipp.

The NIPP, which meets the President’s requirements set forth in Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD-7), "Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection," will be used to establish national priorities, goals, and requirements for CI/KR protection. It establishes a comprehensive risk management framework while clearly defining the roles and responsibilities for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS); Federal Sector-Specific Agencies; and other Federal, State, local, Tribal, and private sector security partners as well as specifying the key initiatives, milestones, and metrics required to achieve the Nation’s CI/KR protection mission.
