SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. The HSAC provides
independent, objective advice and recommendations for the consideration
of the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on matters
related to homeland security. The Council is comprised of leaders of
local law enforcement, first responders, state and local government,
the private sector, and academia.
The HSAC will meet for the purpose of receiving sensitive
operational information from senior DHS leadership. The meeting will
address threats to our homeland security, border security, examine U.S.
Coast Guard counterterrorism efforts; provide an operational update of
the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) Frequent Traveler
Program; examine evolving threats in cyber security; and provide
information on the threat of an electromagnetic pulse attack and its
associated vulnerabilities.

Summary of the Agenda

Sensitive Threat Briefings against the Homeland.
Briefing on Strategic Implementation Plan to Counter Violent
Extremism Domestically.
Update on Border Security and Evolving Threats.
US Coast Guard, Update on Counterterrorism Efforts Around the
World.
TSA Frequent Travelers Program Operational Update.
Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Threat–Lessons Learned and Areas of
Vulnerability, and
Evolving Threats in Cyber Security.
Basis for Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal
Advisory Committee Act, it has been determined that the meeting
requires closure as the premature disclosure of the information would
not be in the public interest.
The HSAC will receive briefings on domestic and international
threats to the homeland from DHS Intelligence and Analysis and other
senior leadership, and a briefing on threats at the Southwest Border
and joint operations with Mexican law enforcement from U.S. Customs and
Border Protection. That material, and a discussion of it, entails
information the premature disclosure of which would not be in the
public interest. Specifically, there will be material presented
regarding the latest viable threats against the United States, and how
DHS and other Federal agencies plan to address those threats. Under 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(7)(E)&(F), disclosure of that information could reveal
investigative techniques and procedures not generally available to the
public, allowing those with interests against the United States to
circumvent the law, thereby endangering the life or physical safety of
law enforcement personnel.
