Photo identification will be required for entry into the public session, and everyone in attendance must be present and seated by 9:45 a.m. Basis for Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 92– 463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq.), I have determined that portions of this HSAC meeting (referenced above as ‘‘closed’’) will concern matters excluded from Open Meetings requirements. At portions of the meeting where the committee will be addressing specific critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, interdependencies, infrastructure resilience and vulnerability mitigation, discussions may include: trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential; investigative techniques and procedures; and matters that for which disclosure would likely frustrate significantly the implementation of proposed agency actions. Accordingly, I have determined that these portions of the meeting must be kept closed as well, consistent with the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), (7)(E), and (9)(B). Dated: December 12, 2005.
