**Update: The planned August meeting is pushed to November. There will be no August meeting. Everything below this statement is for the originally scheduled August meeting, and is no longer applicable. We are keeping the below for transparency only of what the original blog post stated.**
The National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee (NISPPAC) will hold a meeting open to the public at 10:00 a.m. ET, Wednesday, August 6, 2025. Please expect to block approximately four hours off in your calendar for this meeting.
National Industrial Security Program Policy Advisory Committee (NISPPAC) meetings serve as a forum to discuss policy issues in dispute and recommend changes to those policies as reflected in Executive Order 12829, as amended, its implementing directives, or the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM).
If attending in person, send an email to NISPPAC@nara.gov.

Great to see transparency in action, looking forward to the important policy discussions rescheduled for November’s session. Awesome post dear.
This is great! I’m glad to see NISPPAC taking user feedback seriously, especially with supply chain security front and center. I appreciate the focus on public engagement.
I am curious though – what specific stakeholder groups have historically been the most challenging to incorporate feedback from, and what strategies are you all considering to better reach them this year? Also, could you elaborate on how the public feedback will directly translate into actionable changes within NISPPAC recommendations? Looking forward to seeing the meeting’s outcomes!
This is great to see registration for the August NISPPAC public meeting open! It’s so vital for these discussions around protecting classified information to be open to the public, and a virtual event makes access infinitely easier.
I’m curious, once the agenda comes out closer to the meeting date, what are some of the key topics or areas you expect will be a primary focus for NISPPAC in 2025? And looking back at past meetings, have there been instances where public questions or input significantly shaped a recommendation or discussion during the session itself? Looking forward to learning more about how public engagement supports their important work!
