NIST removes open comment notice for SP 1353 ipd AI/CSF Quick-Start Guide from CSF landing page
Original title: NIST Cybersecurity Framework — version page

Why it matters
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework landing page has been updated, removing the prominent banner soliciting public comments (deadline: October 15, 2026) on Special Publication (SP) 1353 ipd, Quick-Start Guide for Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) Analysis and Reporting, and removing the separate announcement of that draft quick-start guide from the Latest Updates section. Organizations that intended to submit comments on SP 1353 ipd should verify directly with NIST whether the comment period is still open, has closed, or whether the publication status has changed. Additionally, the description of the finalized CSF 2.0 Informative References Quick‑Start Guide now reads "super intelligence (SI) tools" instead of "artificial intelligence (AI) tools," which may reflect a terminology update in that document.
What changed
- The site-wide banner advertising the public comment period for SP 1353 ipd (Quick-Start Guide for Using AI for CSF Analysis and Reporting), with a stated deadline of October 15, 2026 at 11:59 PM, has been removed from the page.
- The Latest Updates entry specifically announcing SP 1353 ipd as available for public comment — including the description of its scope and the October 15 comment-period closing date — has been removed.
- The description of the final CSF 2.0 Informative References Quick‑Start Guide now references 'super intelligence (SI) tools' rather than 'artificial intelligence (AI) tools', indicating a terminology change in that resource.
Who is affected
All organizations and individuals globally that use or plan to adopt NIST CSF 2.0, particularly those who were tracking the comment period for SP 1353 ipd or rely on NIST's AI-related CSF guidance materials. The text does not specify industry, size, or jurisdiction.
