Editor’s Note: NIST’s most recent FISMA milestone schedule is attached here.
From: NIST
The NIST FISMA Implementation Project has updated its publications schedule. The schedule (dated August 20, 2012) can be downloaded at: http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SMA/fisma/schedule.html.
The modified schedule accounts for the recent changes in publication priorities for SP 800-30, Revision 1 and SP 800-53, Revision 4. The changes also affect the publication schedule for SP 800-53A, Revision 2.
You will note that:
SP 800-30, Revision 1: Guide for Conducting Risk Assessments
- Publication refocused to address only risk assessments.
- Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
- Publication priority changed due to request from JTF partners, releasing the publication three months earlier than originally scheduled.
SP 800-53, Revision 4: Recommended Security and Privacy Controls for Federal Information Systems and Organizations
- Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
- Publication priority changed due to request from JTF partners, delaying publication until after the release on SP 800-30, Revision 1.
- Publication may be finalized in November 2012 (eliminating FPD), pending final decision by JTF partners.
SP 800-53A, Revision 2: Guide for Assessing the Security and Privacy Controls in Federal Information Systems and Organizations
- Publication developed as part of the Joint Task Force Transformation Initiative (DOD, ODNI, CNSS, and NIST).
- Publication schedule will be adjusted if SP 800-53, Revision 4, is published (final) in November.
I have a copy of the 800-53 Revision 4, and am wondering if there is the companion 800-53A, Revision 2 document available (even in draft form). I am tracking Security for my systems, going from a 8500.2 DIACAP compliance to the RMF.
Any information you have would be greatly appreciated

Dear Mr. Lucero,
A tracking copy of SP 800-53A, Rev 2 that shows how it was marked up to produce Rev. 3 has been posted here, http://thecre.com/pdf/800-53-rev3_markup-rev2-to-rev3_updated-may-01-2010.pdf.
Please let us know if we can be of any further assistance.
The provided link is for 800-53. Is there anything for 800-53A rev 2?
I have been working with 800-53 Rev 4. What I am looking for is the companion document, 800-53A, Rev 2. Is there a draft document you can make available?
