5 Antitrust Guidelines I. General It is NERC s policy and practice to obey the antitrust laws and to avoid all conduct that unreasonably restrains competition. This policy requires the avoidance of any conduct that violates, or that might appear to violate, the antitrust laws. Among other things, the antitrust laws forbid any agreement between or among competitors regarding prices, availability of service, product design, terms of sale, division of markets, allocation of customers or any other activity that unreasonably restrains competition. It is the responsibility of every NERC participant and employee who may in any way affect NERC s compliance with the antitrust laws to carry out this commitment. Antitrust laws are complex and subject to court interpretation that can vary over time and from one court to another. The purpose of these guidelines is to alert NERC participants and employees to potential antitrust problems and to set forth policies to be followed with respect to activities that may involve antitrust considerations. In some instances, the NERC policy contained in these guidelines is stricter than the applicable antitrust laws. Any NERC participant or employee who is uncertain about the legal ramifications of a particular course of conduct or who has doubts or concerns about whether NERC s antitrust compliance policy is implicated in any situation should consult NERC s General Counsel immediately. II. Prohibited Activities Participants in NERC activities (including those of its committees and subgroups) should refrain from the following when acting in their capacity as participants in NERC activities (e.g., at NERC meetings, conference calls and in informal discussions): Discussions involving pricing information, especially margin (profit) and internal cost information and participants expectations as to their future prices or internal costs. Discussions of a participant s marketing strategies. Discussions regarding how customers and geographical areas are to be divided among competitors. Discussions concerning the exclusion of competitors from markets. Discussions concerning boycotting or group refusals to deal with competitors, vendors or suppliers. Any other matters that do not clearly fall within these guidelines should be reviewed with NERC s General Counsel before being discussed. 5 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

36 Enhanced Background Investigation Screening Travis Moran Critical Infrastructure Planning Committee Meeting March 8,

37 2 Enhanced

38 ESCC Priority November 16, 2015 From the Electricity Sub-Sector Coordinating Council (ESCC) Meeting Notes: Action Items and Summary of Conclusions Enhanced Background Investigation Screening (EBIS) Working Group: Convene a working group that will determine methods for improving background investigations into personnel holding sensitive industry positions; including legal, human resources, and process issues. The Department of Energy (DOE) (Jim McGlone) and the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center (E-ISAC) Bob Canada will colead facilitation of this working group. Owners: DOE, FBI, ESCC, and the E-ISAC. DHS participates. Time Frame: The working group will be stood-up before the end of January 2016, and a representative of the group will provide report at the next ESCC meeting. 3

39 Current Background Investigations Industry Concerns Regarding Hiring Processes What industry background investigations are and what they are not: Not a true nationwide check Not comprehensive Not universally required Differ from company to company Often conducted by human resources contractors Often no or infrequent updates (contractor changes complicate updates) No updating if subsequent arrests in between investigation periods 4

40 5 What We Know Through research and collaboration with FBI, DOE and NRC we know the following There is currently no national background check system or requirement for private electric sector critical infrastructure workers NRC and the financial sector have requirements FDIC 1000 Section 19 Prohibition For Unauthorized Participation by Convicted Individual - "Except with the written consent of the Corporation no person shall serve as a director, officer, or employee of an insured bank who has been convicted, or who is hereafter convicted of any criminal offense involving dishonesty or breach of trust. SEC f-2 Fingerprinting of securities industry personnel. (a) Exemptions for the fingerprinting requirement. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph (a)(1) or (a)(2) of this section, every member of a national securities exchange, broker, dealer, registered transfer agent and registered clearing agency shall require that each of its partners, directors, officers and employees be fingerprinted and shall submit, or cause to be submitted, the fingerprints of such persons to the Attorney General of the United States or its designee for identification and appropriate processing.

41 What We Know - Continued 1. FBI has criminal history repository via CJIS/NCIC 2. NRC has established procedures and requirements (10 CFR 73.57) 3. Fingerprints required for NRC applicants for unescorted access to FBI/CJIS 4. NRC licensee (entity) receives results and makes employment and access/denial decisions 5. NRC Backgrounds are authorized by legislation 6. Electric sector may require separate authorizing legislation 7. Legislation needs to be crafted by industry and tailored to industry s needs 8. Will require a collaborative legislative effort (industry, FBI/CJIS, DoE) 6

42 Nuclear Sector vs. Electric Sector Nuclear Sector Backgrounds Initial hire background completed by entity or 3rd party provider then referred to nuclear process. Non-Critical Workers (Outside Protected Area): Credit; fingerprints for criminal history; initial drug test. Non-protected area updates every 5 years. Critical Workers (inside Protected Area): Fingerprints for criminal history; drug test; psychological exam. Updated every 3 Years. Electricity Sector Backgrounds Often performed by Human Resources via private contractors Credit and single source (state & surrounding states criminal history if any) Not a true nationwide check Some have further vetting most do not 7

43 FBI Mission: To equip law enforcement, national security, and intelligence community partners with the criminal justice information they need to protect the United States while preserving civil liberties. History: Established in1992 to serve as the focal point and central repository for criminal justice information services in the FBI. Largest division in the FBI. National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Automated Fingerprint Identification System (IAFIS) National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). 8

44 Known or Appropriately Suspected Terrorist (KST) Sentinel Foreign Fugitive Violent Person National Sex Offender Registry Gang Wanted Person & Terrorist Wanted Persons Immigration Violator 9 FBI Databases National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Database An electronic clearinghouse of criminal history/crime data that can be tapped into by virtually every criminal justice agency nationwide, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Person (criminal history) and Property Files: Missing Person Protection Order Unidentified Person Protective Interest Identity Theft Supervised Release National Instant Criminal Background Check System(NICS) Property: Consists of mostly entered stolen or suspected stolen property

45 What is included in IAFIS? Not only fingerprints: Corresponding criminal histories Mug shots Scars and tattoo photos Integrated Automated Fingerprint Identification System Physical characteristics like height, weight, hair and eye color Aliases Linkage to Sentinel system Corresponding reciprocating countries 10

65 International Terrorism Trends Being able to identify, detect, and respond to terrorism trends and tactics is a crucial piece of the Electricity Subsector security posture. To be able to provide asset owners and operators with a complete picture of current threat trends and tactics, the E-ISAC reviewed relevant international terrorism data and concluded that transmission and distribution towers overseas continue to be a significant attack vector for various governmental and political adversaries. Overall, the analysis revealed that: 158 attacks occurred against electricity infrastructure internationally in percent of these attacks were against transmission towers or lines The remaining attacks were against power stations, or administrative buildings The primary tool of attack was explosives 17

68 PSAG Projects 1. Design Basis Threat (DBT) 2. Enhanced Background Investigation Screening 20

69 PROJECT # 1 Design Basis Threat (DBT) Another Tool for Industry Use! SAG 21

70 Project Progress 1. PSAG Initial meeting March Pushed as a top priority! 2. DBT Workshop Sept 1st-3 rd 3. DBT final research completed with DoE Intelligence - Determine Explosive Amounts? - VBIED inclusion? - Type of Insider Threat? 4. DoE requested our DBT comparison completed 5. Final draft to be completed by PSAG this week 6. Received NERC CEO approval Feb 23 rd 7. Publish on E-ISAC Portal for Members 22

71 What is a Design Basis Threat? The DBT is used to determine the level of appropriate and cost effective physical protection measures required to protect against malicious acts i.e. theft / sabotage It is based on conservative assumptions that establish the magnitude of adversary force that the site s protective systems should be designed to defeat, expressed in terms of numbers of adversaries and their capabilities 23

72 Answers the question: What are we protecting against? Development of potential adversary scenarios Analysis of physical protection system (PPS) to determine effectiveness Identifying vulnerabilities of the PPS Improving the system and prioritizing upgrades Assessing risk and the cost-benefit tradeoffs 24

73 The DBT uses a graded threat approach (protect pencils like pencils and gold like gold). This takes into account factors such as: Attractiveness & Consequence of loss of the asset. Are there redundancies or ways to work around the loss? Assets are identified and then prioritized into Asset Protection Levels Reach consensus on realistic and credible threats against US power grid (consistent approach) Critical HV transformers Other critical nodes / infrastructure 25

74 Project # 2 Enhanced Background Investigation Screening 26

75 Project Progress 1. Born from Initial Discussions with PSAG Members, FBI and E- ISAC s PSAT. 2. Nov 6th meeting (FBI, DHS, DoE, NRC, Dominion, Entergy, Kansas City Power & Light, and FP&L in attendance). 3. ESCC gave its approval to form a smaller group. 4. First meeting in January Charged to come back with recommendations and project planning strategy. 27

76 Possible Impact 1. FBI could conduct additional screening measures against additional terrorism databases 2. Incorporate the enhanced screening of new employees 3. Incorporate a refresher background every 3-5 years 4. Incorporating an Insider Threat Mitigation strategy across the industry. 5. Incorporating additional screening across other sectors (i.e. telecommunication, water & finance) 28

77 What Can YOU Do to Help the Security of the Industry? 29

78 It s Your Job too! 1. Inform your company of and acceptance of the NERC Code of Conduct. 2. Moving past corporate fear of regulatory avoidance strategies with regard to voluntary reporting. 3. Get beyond the mandatory reporting paradigm 4. Contribute to Bulk Power System situational awareness! 5. Understand that every little piece of intelligence helps! 6.

88 Cyber Asset and BES Cyber Asset Definitions The SDT should consider the definition of Cyber Asset and clarify the intent of programmable The SDT should consider clarifying and focusing the definition of BES Cyber Asset including: Focusing the definition so that it does not subsume all other cyber asset types Considering if there is a lower bound to the term adverse in adverse impact Clarify the double impact criteria (cyber asset affects a facility and that facility affects the reliable operation of the BES) such that N-1 contingency is not a valid methodology that can eliminate an entire site and all of its Cyber Assets from scope 7 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

89 Network and Externally Accessible Devices The SDT should consider the concepts and requirements concerning Electronic Security Perimeters (ESP), External Routable Connectivity (ERC), and Interactive Remote Access (IRA) including: Clarify the exemption phrase between discrete Electronic Security Perimeters. When there is not an ESP at the location, consider clarity that the communication equipment considered out of scope is the same communication equipment that would be considered out of scope if it were between two ESPs The word associated in the ERC definition is unclear in that it alludes to some form of relationship but does not define the relationship between the items. Striking associated and defining the intended relationship would provide much needed clarity 8 RELIABILITY ACCOUNTABILITY

120 Communications

121 Objectives Achieved? Exercise crisis response and recovery 133 organizations and 800+ individuals more than GridEx II More CEH hours for system operators and others Increase in exercise response Well and Very Well : Cyber (84%), physical (92%), and operational response (98%) Improve communications Very Well increased by at least 14% in all areas Opportunity to increase involvement of other critical infrastructure sectors for GridEx IV Identify lessons learned Opportunity for improvement, about 22% of active organizations shared lessons learned with NERC Engage senior leadership Many organizations involved their senior management and crisis teams Executive tabletop

122 1. Coordinated response and communication Observations and Recommendations Enhance internal communications procedures documentation For future exercises, test alternate communications facilities 2. Reporting mechanisms (OE-417, EOP-004, CIP-008, etc.) Improve reporting efficiency and effectiveness, eliminate redundancies 3. Active participation of system operators For future exercises, continue to encourage the active participation of Reliability Coordinators with entities in their area For future exercises, continue to encourage integration of cyber and physical security impacts with power system operation

123 4. E-ISAC information sharing Observations and Recommendations Continue to enhance E-ISAC portal (e.g., easier user search for urgent and important information) Continue to develop Watch Operations Team capabilities Design next GridEx to include a more credible, limited-scope scenario to demonstrate E-ISAC analysis capability Design next GridEx to include a more realistic Move 0 scenario to simulate emerging threat, detection, and analysis 5. Introduction of new exercise tools Improve scenario inject distribution mechanism Improve volume/capacity and test well in advance of next exercise Include notification feature to alert users of new postings to social media tool

124 6. Advance exercise planning timelines Observations and Recommendations Begin planning earlier (e.g., September for an exercise in November the following year) Continue to encourage participants to customize scenario to meet local objectives, consistent with baseline scenario and Reliability Coordinator involvement Develop player training material earlier for lead planners to deliver to their own players (not NERC) 7. After action survey and lessons learned Use similar after action survey questions for next GridEx Determine and address reasons for apparent reluctance of participants to share lessons learned with NERC

125 Executive Tabletop Participants Participants Facilitated by a member of the President s National Infrastructure Advisory Council 17 NERC and utility senior executives 15 senior government officials (from the White House, DOE, DHS, FEMA, DOD, NSA, FBI, National Guard) Observers About 70 individuals from participating organizations observed and provided feedback

126 Executive Tabletop Recommendations Three discussion themes in the context of a severe electricity emergency Unity of messaging how the industry and government receives and shares information with each other and the public (7 recommendations) Unity of effort how the industry and government could improve coordination and sharing of resources (6 recommendations) Extraordinary measures how the industry and government could consider regulatory and legislative needs to support timely recovery (10 recommendations) Executive Tabletop report by March 2016
