SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose: The 

Department of Homeland Security 

protects the nation from terrorist 

attacks, responds to natural disasters 

and secures the borders against 

unlawful entry, drug trafficking and 

other illegal activities. DHS believes that 

a diverse workforce, led by a diverse 

cadre of senior executives, is key to 

successfully completing these important 

missions. DHS is committed to making 

the vision of a diverse workforce in DHS 

a reality. DHS is asking for public 

comments that address ways to enhance 

diversity in DHS senior leadership ranks 

and other positions. As part of carrying 

out this commitment, DHS has invited 

over fifty organizations from the 

diversity community to participate in a 

half-day forum to discuss ways to 

enhance diversity among the 

Department’s senior leadership ranks, 

while seeking input regarding ways to 

improve the diversity of the DHS 

workforce at all levels. 

Procedural: Due to space and other 

facility constraints, the DHS Workforce 

Diversity meeting is by invitation only 

and is not open to the public at large. 

DHS is, however, highly interested in 

receiving comments and related 

materials from those not able to attend 

the meeting, and is opening a public 

docket at DHS–2009–0115 to permit the 

public to post comments and related 

material for DHS review. DHS will not 

record comments made at the DHS 

Workforce Diversity meeting, but will 

post a summary of those comments to 

the Federal eRulemaking docket for 

public review. 

This notice is issued under authority 

of 5 U.S.C. 552. 

Jeffrey Neal, 

Chief Human Capital Officer, 

Department of Homeland Security.
