SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under the Federal VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:28 Mar 18, 2014 Jkt 232001 Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2 (Pub. L. 92–463). The HSSTAC was established under 6 U.S.C. Section 450, and operates in accordance with the provisions of the FACA. The committee addresses areas of interest and importance to the Under Secretary for Science and Technology, such as new developments in systems engineering, cyber-security, knowledge management and how best to leverage related technologies funded by other federal agencies and by the private sector. It also advises the Under Secretary on policies, management processes, and organizational constructs as needed. Agenda: The committee will convene in open session to meet with the Acting Under Secretary and other executives of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T) to hear updates, discuss areas of concern, and receive taskings. Agenda items on April 7 focus solely on the interaction between DHS S&T and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). An official from ICE will first give an ICE overview, followed by a discussion among officials from ICE and DHS S&T about ICE’s technology needs, how DHS S&T supports those needs, and how that support can be improved. A public comment period will follow the discussion. The committee will then receive its tasking from DHS S&T and begin to develop recommendations regarding how DHS S&T can better support ICE. The agenda on April 8 will include an update and discussion regarding the DHS S&T Cyber Security Division (CSD), followed by briefs about two DHS S&T projects: Apex Air Entry/Exit Re-Engineering (AEER), a project managed by the DHS S&T Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA), which aims to biometrically verify that a foreign national who enters the U.S. is the same one who exits; and Project Responder, a project managed by the DHS S&T First Responder Group, which aims to systematically identify capability gaps for responding to catastrophic incidents. A public comment period will follow those briefs. The committee will meet in closed session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on April 8, 2014, to receive a classified brief regarding emerging and disruptive technologies and technology trends (including the use of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)) and to hear an update from the Task Force on Third Party Pre-Screening regarding its progress on helping TSA to expedite physical screening by exploring private sector options; the results of private sector testing and PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 15355 evaluation; and methodologies to determine eligibility for pre-screening. The task force update includes security sensitive information (SSI) and/or trade secrets and confidential/proprietary commercial information. Basis for Closure: In accordance with Subsection (d) of Section 10 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2), it has been determined that certain portions of the meeting require closure as the disclosure of the information would not be in the public interest. This action is determined appropriate because disclosure of such information is likely to reveal matters that are authorized to be kept secret in the interests of national defense (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)), or are specifically exempted from disclosure by statute (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)), or that may disclose trade secrets and commercial information that is privileged or confidential (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4)). Consistent with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), (c)(3), and (c)(4), this segment of the meeting will be closed to avoid disclosure of information that is specifically exempt from disclosure by statute, regulation, or Executive Order. The classified briefing contains classified information protected under Executive Order 13526 ‘‘Classified National Security Information’’ and the update from the Task Force on Third Party Pre-Screening includes SSI protected pursuant to the SSI Federal Regulation (49 CFR part 1520) as well as business confidential and proprietary information. Accordingly, this meeting will be partially closed to the public. Dated: March 4, 2014. Daniel M. Gerstein, Under Secretary for Science and Technology (Acting).
