From the NIST 800-70 revision 1 at http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/800-70-rev1/Draft-SP800-70-r1.pdf executive summary page 3 (ES-3), “users from Federal civilian agencies should first search for NIST-produced checklists, which are tailored for civilian agency use. If no NIST-produced checklist is available, then agency-produced checklists from the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) or the National Security Agency (NSA) should be used if available or vendor-produced checklists should be used. If these checklists are not available, then checklists from other trusted third parties may be used. Certain checklists on the NCP are mandated for use by federal agencies by the OMB. These include the OMB FDCC checklists for Windows Vista, Windows XP, Internet Explorer 7, Windows XP Firewall, and Windows Vista Firewall.
