The CSRIC’s mission is to provide recommendations to the FCC regarding ways the FCC can strive for security, reliability, and interoperability of communications systems. These recommendations routinely include best practices for industry and public safety organizations. The FCC maintains a searchable database of these best practices on its website. When CSRIC recommends new best practices, the FCC updates the database accordingly, including the retiring of any older best practices that have been superseded.
