§ 5195c. Critical infrastructures protection
(a) Short title
This section may be cited as the ‘‘Critical In-
frastructures Protection Act of 2001’’.
(b) Findings
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The information revolution has trans-
formed the conduct of business and the oper-
ations of government as well as the infrastruc-
ture relied upon for the defense and national
security of the United States.
(2) Private business, government, and the
national security apparatus increasingly de-
pend on an interdependent network of critical
physical and information infrastructures, in-
cluding telecommunications, energy, financial
services, water, and transportation sectors.
(3) A continuous national effort is required
to ensure the reliable provision of cyber and
physical infrastructure services critical to
maintaining the national defense, continuity
of government, economic prosperity, and qual-
ity of life in the United States.
(4) This national effort requires extensive
modeling and analytic capabilities for pur-
poses of evaluating appropriate mechanisms to
ensure the stability of these complex and
interdependent systems, and to underpin pol-
icy recommendations, so as to achieve the
continuous viability and adequate protection
of the critical infrastructure of the Nation.
(c) Policy of the United States
It is the policy of the United States—
(1) that any physical or virtual disruption of
the operation of the critical infrastructures of
the United States be rare, brief, geographi-
cally limited in effect, manageable, and mini-
mally detrimental to the economy, human and
government services, and national security of
the United States;
(2) that actions necessary to achieve the pol-
icy stated in paragraph (1) be carried out in a
public-pr
