E.O. 12958: DECL: 1/29/2019
TAGS: PTER, PGOV, ASEC, EFIN, ENRG, KCIP
SUBJECT: REQUEST FOR INFORMATION:CRITICAL FOREIGN
DEPENDENCIES (CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND KEY RESOURCES
LOCATED ABROAD)

REF: STATE 6461

PLEASE PASS TO RSO, POLOFF, ECON, and MANAGEMENT (GSO
and IT).

Classified by S/CT DAS, Susan F. Burk, Reason: 1/4 (B), (D),
(E), and (G)

1. (U//FOUO) This is an action request; see Para. 13.

2. (U//FOUO) Under the direction of the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), the National Infrastructure
Protection Plan (NIPP) was written to provide the
unifying structure for the integration of critical
infrastructure and key resources (CI/KR) protection
into a single national program. The overarching goal of
the NIPP is to build a safer, more secure, and more
resilient America by enhancing protection of the
nation's CI/KR to prevent, deter, neutralize or
mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts by
terrorists to destroy, incapacitate or exploit them;
and to strengthen national preparedness, timely
response, and rapid recovery in the event of an attack,
natural disaster or other emergency.

3. (U//FOUO) In addition to a list of critical domestic
CI/KR, the NIPP requires compilation and annual update
of a comprehensive inventory of CI/KR that are located
outside U.S. borders and whose loss could critically
impact the public health, economic security, and/or
national and homeland security of the United States.
DHS in collaboration with State developed the Critical
Foreign Dependencies Initiative (CFDI)to identify these
critical U.S. foreign dependencies -- foreign CI/KR
that may affect systems within the U.S. directly or
indirectly. State is coordinating with DHS to develop
the 2009 inventory, and the action request in Para. 13
represents the initial step in this process.

4. (U//FOUO) The NIPP does not define CI/KR. Homeland
Security Presidential Directive 7 (HSPD 7) references
definitions in two separate statutes. In the USA
Patriot Act of 2001 (42 U.S.C. 5195(e)) "critical
infrastructure" is defined as systems and assets,
whether physical or virtual, so vital to the United
States the incapacitation or destruction of such
systems and assets would have a debilitating impact on
security, national economic security, national public
health or safety, or any combination of those matters.
In the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 101(9))
"key resources" are defined as publicly or privately
controlled resources essential to the minimal
operations of the economy and government.

5. (U//FOUO) The NIPP identifies 18 CI/KR sectors:
agriculture and food; defense industrial base; energy;
healthcare and public health; national monuments and
icons; banking and finance; drinking water and water
treatment systems; chemical; commercial facilities;
dams; emergency services; commercial nuclear reactors,
materials, and waste; information technology;
communications; postal and shipping; transportation and
systems; government facilities; and critical
manufacturing. Obviously some of these sectors are more
likely to have international components than other
sectors.

6. (U//FOUO) Department is surveying posts for their
input on critical infrastructure and key resources
within their host country which, if destroyed,
disrupted or exploited, would likely have an immediate
and deleterious effect on the United States. We expect
posts, after consultation among all sections and
agencies, will in many instances immediately recognize
whether such CI/KR exist in their host country. Posts
are not/not being asked to consult with host
governments with respect to this request.

7. (U//FOUO) Building upon the initial survey completed
in 2008, Department requests each post reassess and
update information about infrastructure and resources
in each host country whose loss could immediately
affect the public health, economic security, and/or
national and homeland security of the United States.
This reassessment may include suggestions from posts
for removing, modifying, or adding CI/KR to the list
developed in 2008 (see the list of CI/KR identified in
2008 in Para. 15 below).

8. (U//FOUO) The following three categories should be
considered when determining whether critical foreign
dependencies exist in the host country: 1) direct
physical linkages (e.g., pipelines, undersea
telecommunications cables, and assets located in close
enough proximity to the U.S. border their destruction
could cause cross-border consequences, such as damage
to dams and chemical facilities); 2) sole or
predominantly foreign/host-country sourced goods and
services (e.g., minerals or chemicals critical to U.S.
industry, a critical finished product manufactured in
one or only a small number of countries, or a telecom
hub whose destruction might seriously disrupt global
communications); and 3) critical supply chain nodes
(e.g., the Strait of Hormuz and Panama Canal, as well
as any ports or shipping lanes in the host-country
critical to the functioning of the global supply
chain).

9. (U//FOUO) Although they are important issues,
Department is not/not seeking information at this time
on second-order effects (e.g., public morale and
confidence, and interdependency effects that might
cascade from a disruption).

10. (U//FOUO) Posts do not need to report government
facilities overseas managed by State or war fighting
facilities managed by other departments or agencies.

11. (U//FOUO) The following general information should
be addressed when nominating elements for inclusion,
removal, or modification:

-- (U//FOUO) Name and physical location of the asset,
system, or supply chain node.

-- (U//FOUO) Post's rationale for including, modifying,
or removing an asset, system, or supply chain node.

-- (U//FOUO) Any information Post has regarding
conditions in country causing Post to believe the CI/KR
is an active target or especially vulnerable due to
natural circumstances.

-- (U//FOUO) Any information Post has regarding CIP
activities in country and who/what agency is
responsible for those activities.

12. (U//FOUO) Questions can be directed to Sharri R.
Clark in S/CT: ClarkSR@state.sgov.gov;
ClarkSR@state.gov; 202-647-1514. Alternatively,
questions can be directed to S. Gail Robertson in S/CT:
RobertsonSG2@state.sgov.gov; RobertsonSG@state.gov,
202-647-3769.

13. (U//FOUO) ACTION REQUEST: Posts are requested to
report by March 20, 2009 on CI/KR in their host country
meeting the criteria outlined above and a brief
explanation of why posts believes the asset meets the
criteria. Due to the potential sensitivity of assets
identified, posts are asked to consider the necessity
of classifying their responses appropriately. Please
note the list in its entirety is classified S/NF. If
post determines there are no such CI/KR in its host
country, a negative report is requested. Please send
replies to the attention of Sharri R. Clark in S/CT and
use the subject line "CI/KR Response for S/CT".

14. (U//FOUO) Posts' assistance with providing input to
the first list created in 2008 was invaluable, and
Department appreciates Posts' continuing cooperation.

15. (S//NF) Following is the 2008 Critical Foreign
Dependencies Initiative (CFDI) list (CI/KR organized by
