E.O. 12958: DECL: 1/29/2019 

TAG 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)    

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

62. (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.    

63. (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.    

64. (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.    

65. (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.    

66. (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.    

67. (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).    

68. (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).    

69. (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).    

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

611. (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.    

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

613. (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".    

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

615. (S//NF) Following is the 2008 Critical Foreign Dependencies Initiative
(CFDI) list (CI/KR organized by region):  [BEGIN TEXT OF LIST]
