National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security Feedback

During the next six months, the federal government will conduct significant outreach to foreign and domestic stakeholders to determine how best to implement the Strategy and foster a secure, efficient, and resilient global system.

The U.S. Government is interested in receiving recommendations from private sector and non-U.S. Government stakeholders regarding (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Specific opportunities to implement the goals of the Strategy and enhance the efficiency and resilience of the global supply chain.

• Understanding evolving threats (terrorist as well as natural) and vulnerabilities in the global supply chain as a whole and among different modes of transportation.

• International best practices, standards, or guidelines for reducing threats/ vulnerabilities and opportunities to encourage global implementation of them.

• Opportunities for the U.S. Government to work in concert with industry and the international community to further strengthen the global supply chain, including ways to increase participation in and improve the effectiveness of private-public partnership programs.

• Assumptions that currently inform supply chain security policies and programs that may be incorrect, dated, or obsolete.
