ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS: DHS safeguards records in this system according to applicable rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems security and access policies. DHS has imposed strict controls to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this system is limited to those individuals who have a need to know the information for the performance of their official duties and who have appropriate clearances or permissions. amozie on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES: The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act, and consequently those of the Judicial Redress Act if applicable. However, DHS will consider individual requests to determine whether or not information may be released. Thus, individuals seeking access to and notification of any record contained in this system of records, or seeking to contest its content, may submit a request in writing to the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Officer, whose contact information can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/foia under ‘‘Contacts Information.’’ If an individual believes more than one component maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or her, the individual may submit the request to the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief FOIA Officer, Department of Homeland Security, Washington, DC 20528–0655. Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the Judicial Redress Act provide a right of access, certain records about you may be available under the Freedom of Information Act. When an individual is seeking records about himself or herself from this system of records or any other Departmental system of records, the individual’s request must conform with the Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. The individual must first verify his/her identity, meaning that the individual must provide his/her full name, current address, and date and place of birth. The individual must sign the request, and the individual’s signature must either be notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for notarization. While no specific form VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Apr 30, 2018 Jkt 244001 is required, an individual may obtain forms for this purpose from the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of Information Act Officer, https:// www.dhs.gov/foia or 1–866–431–0486. In addition, the individual should: • Explain why you believe the Department would have information on him/her; • Identify which component(s) of the Department the individual believes may have the information about him/her; • Specify when the individual believes the records would have been created; and • Provide any other information that will help the FOIA staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records. If an individual’s request is seeking records pertaining to another living individual, the first individual must include a statement from the second individual certifying his/her agreement for the first individual to access his/her records. Without the above information, the component(s) may not be able to conduct an effective search, and the individual’s request may be denied due to lack of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations. CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES: For records covered by the Privacy Act or covered JRA records, see ‘‘Record Access Procedures’’ above. NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES: See ‘‘Record Access Procedures’’ above. EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM: The Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552a(k)(1), (k)(2), and (k)(5), has exempted this system from the following provisions of the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1), (e)(4)(G), (e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f). When this system receives a record from another system exempted in that source system under 5 U.S.C. 552a(j)(2), DHS will claim the same exemptions for those records that are claimed for the original primary systems of records from which they originated and claims any additional exemptions set forth here.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Helen Jackson, NSTAC Designated Federal Officer, Department of Homeland Security, (703) 705–6276 (telephone) or helen.jackson@ 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 May 17, 2018, 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 debate consisting of great thinkers in cybersecurity. NSTAC members will also receive a status update on the NSTAC Cybersecurity Moonshot Subcommittee’s examination of concepts related to a Cybersecurity Moonshot, which has two primary objectives: (1) Defining an ambitious but VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:12 Apr 30, 2018 Jkt 244001 achievable outcome-focused end goal for the cybersecurity environment; and (2) defining the structure and process necessary to successfully execute against the identified end goal. 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/sensitive compartmented information 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). 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 communications 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).

Furthermore, this notice includes nonsubstantive changes to simplify the formatting and text of the previously published notice and to provide further transparency as to how the system is used, in alignment with the recently republished Privacy Impact Assessment, DHS/USCIS/PIA–031(a) Citizenship & Immigration Data Repository. This modified system will be included in the Department of Homeland Security’s inventory of record systems. DATES: Submit comments on or before May 31, 2018. This modified system will be effective upon publication. Modified routine use E and new routine use F will be effective May 31, 2018.

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 May 17, 2018, 
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 debate consisting of great 
thinkers in cybersecurity. NSTAC members will also receive a status 
update on the NSTAC Cybersecurity Moonshot Subcommittee's examination 
of concepts related to a Cybersecurity Moonshot, which has two primary 
objectives: (1) Defining an ambitious but achievable outcome-focused 
end goal for the cybersecurity environment; and (2) defining the 
structure and process necessary to successfully execute against the 
identified end goal.
    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/sensitive compartmented information 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). 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

this portion of the meeting is likely to significantly frustrate

pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B).
