hq.dhs.gov (email).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of
this meeting is given under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.
Appendix (Pub. L. 92–463). The NSTAC
advises the President on matters related
to national security and emergency
preparedness (NS/EP)
telecommunications policy.
Agenda: The committee will meet in
an open session on May 18, 2017, to
receive remarks from Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) leadership
and other senior Government officials
regarding the Government’s current
cybersecurity initiatives and NS/EP
priorities. Additionally, the committee
will receive an overview of the
Administration’s NS/EP
communications and cybersecurity
priorities. Finally, the NSTAC members
will deliberate and vote on the NSTAC
Emerging Technologies Strategic Vision
Subcommittee’s study of the near- and
long-term NS/EP implications of
emergent and expected information and
communications technologies.
The committee will also meet in a
closed session to receive a classified
briefing regarding cybersecurity threats
and discuss future studies based on the
Government’s NS/EP priorities and
perceived vulnerabilities.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with
5 U.S.C. 552b(c), The Government in the
Sunshine Act, it has been determined
that two agenda items require closure,
as the disclosure of the information
discussed would not be in the public
interest.
The first of these agenda items, the
classified briefing, will provide
members with a cybersecurity threat
briefing on vulnerabilities related to the
communications infrastructure.
Disclosure of these threats would
provide criminals who seek to
compromise commercial and
Government networks with information
on potential vulnerabilities and
mitigation techniques, weakening the
Nation’s cybersecurity posture. This
briefing will be classified at the top
secret level, thereby exempting
disclosure of the content by statute.
Therefore, this portion of the meeting is
required to be closed pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)(A) & (B).

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 83 / Tuesday, May 2, 2017 / Notices
The second agenda item, a discussion
of potential NSTAC study topics, will
address areas of critical cybersecurity
vulnerabilities and priorities for
Government. Government officials will
share data with NSTAC members on
initiatives, assessments, and future
security requirements across public and
private sector networks. The
information will include specific
vulnerabilities within cyberspace that
affect the United States’ information and
communication technology
infrastructures and proposed mitigation
strategies. Disclosure of this information
to the public would provide criminals
with an incentive to focus on these
vulnerabilities to increase attacks on the
Nation’s critical infrastructure and
communications networks. As
disclosure of this portion of the meeting
is likely to significantly frustrate
implementation of proposed DHS
actions, it is required to be closed
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
Dated: April 21, 2017.
