Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 179 / Monday, September 18, 2017 / Notices
for cost-effective mitigation actions
prior to a disaster event to reduce
overall risks to the population and
structures, while also reducing reliance
on funding from actual disaster
declarations.
In accordance with OMB Circular A–
102, FEMA requires that all parties
interested in receiving FEMA mitigation
grants submit an application package for
grant assistance. Applications and subapplications for the PDM and FMA
programs are submitted via the e-Grants
system. The e-Grants system was
developed and updated to meet the
intent of the e-Government initiative,
authorized by Public Law 106–107. This
initiative required that all government
agencies both streamline grant
application processes and provide for
the means to electronically create,
review, and submit a grant application
via the Internet. Title 2 CFR 200.335,
promulgated in 2013, encourages
Federal awarding agencies and nonFederal entities to, whenever
practicable, collect, transmit, and store
Federal award-related information in
open and machine readable formats
rather than in closed formats or on
paper.
This proposed information collection
previously published in the Federal
Register on May 9, 2017 at 82 FR 21548
with a 60-day public comment period.
No public comments were received.
This information collection expired on
June 30, 2017. FEMA is requesting a
reinstatement, without change, of a
previously approved information
collection for which approval has
expired. Although FEMA initially
proposed to revise this information
collection by adding a new Quarterly
Progress Report form, a new form is not
necessary. The e-Grants system already
collects information on the status of
funded FMA/PDM mitigation activities
on a quarterly basis after award. The
information that is collected is limited
to project status, work completed,
number of properties acquired or
relocated, and addresses of properties
acquired or relocated during a given
quarter. Therefore, FEMA is requesting
a reinstatement of the collection without
change. The purpose of this notice is to
notify the public that FEMA will submit
the information collection abstracted
below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance.

Helen Jackson, NSTAC Designated

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 and cybersecurity
policy.
Agenda: The committee will meet in
an open session on October 11, 2017,
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. The meeting will include a
keynote address and a panel discussion
on a cybersecurity moonshot, which
looks at identifying new processes to
address cybersecurity challenges.
NSTAC members will also deliberate
and vote on the Committee’s NSTAC
Report to the President on Internet and
Communications Resilience which
addresses ways in which the private
sector and Government, together, can
improve the resilience of the Internet
and communications ecosystem (e.g.,
botnets).
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
