Executive Order 12862 directs
agencies that ‘‘provide significant

‘‘survey customers to determine the
improvements that are practical and
feasible. Several of the customer
satisfaction surveys expected to be
implemented under this approval will
provide data for measurement of
program effectiveness under the
Government Performance and Results
Act (GPRA). Information from these
customer surveys will be used to plan
and redirect resources and efforts to
improve or maintain a high quality of
service to health care providers and
members of the public. Focus groups
may be used to develop the survey
questionnaire in some instances.
The estimated annual hour burden is
as follows:

provide organizationally independent
advice and recommendations to the
Secretary of the Department aiding in
the creation and expeditious
implementation of critical and
actionable policy and operational
capacities across the spectrum of
Homeland Security operations. The
HSAC shall periodically report, as
appropriate, to the Secretary on matters
within the scope of that function. The
HSAC serves as an advisory body with
the goal of providing advice upon the
request of the Secretary.
The committee will meet for the
purpose of discussions with senior

Basis for Closure
The Federal Advisory Committee Act
permits the closure of advisory
committee meetings, or portions thereof,
as a matter of public interest subject to
the requirements of the Government in

this meeting, the Committee will
participate in sensitive discussions with
senior officials regarding priorities and
ongoing initiatives in the department.
Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B), the
nature of the discussions could lead to
premature disclosure of information on
Department of Homeland Security
actions that would be ‘‘likely to
significantly frustrate implementation of
a proposed agency action.’’
