Telecommunications and Electric Power Interdependency Task Force

Overview
The President's National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee's (NSTAC) Industry Executive Subcommittee (IES) convened a task force in the spring of 2005 to investigate national security and emergency preparedness (NS/EP) issues associated with the interdependencies between the telecommunications and electric power sectors. This task force, the Telecommunications and Electric Power Interdependency Task Force (TEPITF), was charged with examining NS/EP concerns surrounding operational issues between the two sectors and how these interdependencies will affect the future of the telecommunications network.

On January 31, 2006, the Task Force issued a report titled "People and Processes: Current State of Telecommunications and Electric Power Interdependencies."
