SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CISA
ECD, formed under Title XVIII of the
Homeland Security Act of 2002, 6
U.S.C. 571 et seq., as amended, is
required to develop and maintain the
Nationwide Emergency
Communications Plan (NECP). The
vision of the NECP is to ensure
emergency response personnel can
communicate as needed, on demand,
and as authorized. To achieve this
vision, ECD provides the
Communications Assets and Survey
Mapping (CASM) Tool. The CASM Tool
is the primary resource nationwide for
the emergency communications
community to inventory and share asset
and training information for the purpose
of planning public safety
communications operability and
interoperability.
ECD provides the CASM Tool as a
secure and free nationwide database to
contain communications capabilities for

use by Federal, State, Local, Territorial,
and Tribal (SLTT) emergency personnel.
CASM allows Federal employees and
SLTT Statewide Interoperability
Coordinators (SWIC) to inventory
emergency communication equipment
and resources. The information entered
is voluntary and used by SWIC to
support tactical planning and
coordination during emergencies. ECD
does not utilize the information entered
into CASM. ECD only provides,
maintains, and stores the information
entered in the CASM database and only
has administrative access to the
information entered. All information is
collected via electronic means. The
CASM registration and database tool is
available online via https://
casm.dhs.gov/. Users can also access
and enter information via the CASM
Resource Finder mobile app.
This is an EXTENSION of a current
approved information collection
without change.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the

Subcommittee (3): DHS Transparency
and Open Government
[Docket No. DHS–2022–0050]
Homeland Security Advisory Council
The Department of Homeland
Security (DHS), The Office of
Partnership and Engagement (OPE).
ACTION: Notice of new taskings for the
Homeland Security Advisory Council
(HSAC).
AGENCY:
On October 16, 2022 the
Secretary of DHS, Alejandro N.
Mayorkas, tasked the Homeland
Security Advisory Council (HSAC) to
establish four new subcommittees
further outlined below. This notice is
not a solicitation for membership.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rebecca Sternhell, Executive Director of
the Homeland Security Advisory
Council, Office of Partnership and
Engagement, U.S. Department of
Homeland Security at HSAC@
hq.dhs.gov or 202–891–2876.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The HSAC
provides organizationally independent,
strategic, timely, specific, and
actionable advice and recommendations
for the consideration of the Secretary of
the Department of Homeland Security
on matters related to homeland security.
The HSAC is comprised of leaders in
local law enforcement, first responders,
public health, State, local and tribal
government, national policy, the private
sector, and academia.
The four new subcommittees are as
follows:
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
Subcommittee (1): DHS Leadership in
Supply Chain Security
A subcommittee to provide
recommendations on how the
Department can take a greater
leadership role in supply chain security,
including by strengthening supply chain
cybersecurity.
Subcommittee (2): DHS Intelligence and
Information Sharing
A subcommittee to provide
recommendations on how the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:12 Nov 03, 2022
Jkt 259001
Department can improve upon its
intelligence and information sharing
with our key federal, state, local, tribal,
territorial, and private sector partners.
The subcommittee will assess whether
the Department’s information sharing
architecture developed by the DHS
Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A)
is adequate for the threats of today and
tomorrow, and provide advice and
recommendations to better enable the
Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A)
to rapidly and efficiently share
information and intelligence with our
key partners.
A subcommittee to provide
recommendations on how the
Department can improve its
commitment to transparency and open
government. The subcommittee will
provide advice and recommendations
that will position the Department as the
leader in this critical area of model
government conduct.
Subcommittee (4): Homeland Security
Technology and Innovation Network
A subcommittee to provide
recommendations on how the
Department can create a more robust
and efficient Homeland Security
Technology and Innovation Network.
The subcommittee will provide advice
and recommendations that will develop
the Department’s innovation, research
and development, and technology
network with the private sector.
Tasking (1): DHS Leadership in Supply
Chain Security
The United States needs resilient,
diverse, and secure supply chains to
ensure our economic prosperity and
national security. DHS continues to
protect America’s national and
economic security by facilitating
legitimate trade and travel and
rigorously enforcing U.S. customs and
immigration laws and regulations.
As the Department strives to stay
ahead of the curve and take a greater
leadership role by harnessing new
technologies, minimizing environmental
impact, and increasing partnerships in
this vital area, this HSAC subcommittee
is tasked to provide recommendations
on how the Department can take a
greater leadership role in supply chain
security. The subcommittee’s
assessment will include, but need not be
limited to, the following:
a. strengthening physical security;
b. strengthening cybersecurity; and,
c. increasing efficiencies to ensure a
resilient, safe, and secure supply chain
PO 00000

for critical manufacturing and
technology sectors.
Tasking (2): DHS Intelligence and
Information Sharing
Federal, state, local, tribal, and
territorial partners convened shortly
after the September 11, 2001 terrorist
attacks, creating a domestic information
sharing architecture to enable the timely
and seamless exchange of information to
detect and eliminate terrorist threats. In
the 21 years since 9/11, our law
enforcement and homeland security
community has made great progress in
reshaping our information sharing
environment. Working together, we put
policies and processes in place that help
us to be safer and more secure than we
were years ago.
As the Department approaches its
20th Anniversary, the HSAC
subcommittee is asked to provide
recommendations on:
1. How the Department can rapidly
and efficiently share intelligence and
information with its federal, state, local,
tribal, territorial, and private sector
partners. Have DHS investments in
information sharing technology and
changes in law and policy resulted in
increased knowledge transfer and
resilience? Are further investments or
changes in law or policy needed?
2. Has DHS created an information
and intelligence sharing architecture
that efficiently spreads knowledge and
rapidly shares critical information? Are
there steps that we need to take to
revitalize or improve this architecture?
3. Whether the current DHS
information sharing architecture
optimizes information sharing for
threats other than counterterrorism; for
example, cyber, border security, foreign
influence/propaganda, strategic
advantage, and others.
4. Internal DHS Information Sharing:
Has DHS fully implemented internal
DHS information sharing policy—for
example, the One DHS Memo—to
leverage DHS data and information to
support Departmental missions like
border security as well as to develop
and share relevant, quality intelligence
with our partners?
Tasking (3): DHS Transparency and
Open Government
DHS is committed to transparency
and promoting the principles of an
Open Government. The United States
has worked both domestically and
internationally to ensure global support
for Open Government principles to
promote transparency, fight corruption,
energize civic engagement, and leverage
new technologies in order to strengthen
