a.m. and continue until 4:30 p.m. Although most of the meeting is open 
to the public, the session between 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. will be closed 
in order to permit the Privacy Advisory Committee members to discuss 
administrative and planning items, including the schedule for future 
Committee and Subcommittee meetings and a timeline for possible 
Subcommittee reports to the full Committee.
    At the meeting, the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the 
Committee will announce the Committee's goals, as well as introduce the 
Subcommittees and their respective Chairpersons. In the morning, there 
will be panel presentations from DHS officials and Committee discussion 
about screening programs within DHS. In the afternoon, there will be 
panel presentations from privacy and technology experts and Committee 
discussion on screening, data mining, and technology issues.
    At two points during the meeting, between 12 p.m. and 12:30 p.m. 
and between 3:45 p.m. and 4:30 p.m., public comments will be accepted. 
All those who wish to testify may register in advance or sign-up on the 
day of the meeting and, in order to allow as many people as possible to 
testify, should limit their remarks to three minutes. Due to limited 
seating, any member of the public who wishes to attend the public 
session should provide his or her name no later than 12 p.m. e.s.t., 
Monday, June 13, 2005, to Rebecca J. Richards via e-mail at 
PrivacyCommittee@dhs.gov, or via telephone at 571-227-3813. Photo 
identification will be required for entry on the day of the meeting to 
verify those individuals who have registered for the public session, 
and everyone who plans to attend should be present and seated by 8:45 
a.m., or 1:45 p.m., if only attending the afternoon session. 
Registration information required for attendance will be used for 
verification purposes on the day of the meeting. Attendance 
information, including names of members of the public attending, may be 
made public as part of the official meeting minutes.
    Persons with disabilities who require special assistance should 
indicate this in their admittance request and are encouraged to 
indicate anticipated special needs as early as possible.
    Although every effort will be made to accommodate all members of 
the public, seating is limited and will be allocated on a first-come, 
first-served basis.
    Basis for Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended, 86 Stat. 770, the 
Secretary has determined that portions of this Privacy Advisory 
Committee meeting, for administrative and planning purposes which are
