SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of 

this meeting is given under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C. Appendix 2 (Pub. L. 92–463). 

The HSSTAC was established under 6 

U.S.C. Section 450, and operates in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

FACA. The committee addresses areas 

of interest and importance to the Under 

Secretary for Science and Technology, 

such as new developments in systems 

engineering, cyber-security, knowledge 

management and how best to leverage 

related technologies funded by other 

federal agencies and by the private 

sector. It also advises the Under 

Secretary on policies, management 

processes, and organizational constructs 

as needed. 

Agenda: The committee will convene 

in open session to meet with the Acting 

Under Secretary and other executives of 

the DHS Science and Technology 

Directorate (DHS S&T) to hear updates, 

discuss areas of concern, and receive 

taskings. Agenda items on April 7 focus 

solely on the interaction between DHS 

S&T and U.S. Immigration and Customs 

Enforcement (ICE). An official from ICE 

will first give an ICE overview, followed 

by a discussion among officials from ICE 

and DHS S&T about ICE’s technology 

needs, how DHS S&T supports those 

needs, and how that support can be 

improved. A public comment period 

will follow the discussion. The 

committee will then receive its tasking 

from DHS S&T and begin to develop 

recommendations regarding how DHS 

S&T can better support ICE. The agenda 

on April 8 will include an update and 

discussion regarding the DHS S&T 

Cyber Security Division (CSD), followed 

by briefs about two DHS S&T projects: 

Apex Air Entry/Exit Re-Engineering 

(AEER), a project managed by the DHS 

S&T Homeland Security Advanced 

Research Projects Agency (HSARPA), 

which aims to biometrically verify that 

a foreign national who enters the U.S. is 

the same one who exits; and Project 

Responder, a project managed by the 

DHS S&T First Responder Group, which 

aims to systematically identify 

capability gaps for responding to 

catastrophic incidents. A public 

comment period will follow those 

briefs. The committee will meet in 

closed session from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on 

April 8, 2014, to receive a classified 

brief regarding emerging and disruptive 

technologies and technology trends 

(including the use of Intelligence, 

Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR)) 

and to hear an update from the Task 

Force on Third Party Pre-Screening 

regarding its progress on helping TSA to 

expedite physical screening by 

exploring private sector options; the 

results of private sector testing and 

evaluation; and methodologies to 

determine eligibility for pre-screening. 

The task force update includes security 

sensitive information (SSI) and/or trade 

secrets and confidential/proprietary 

commercial information. 

Basis for Closure: In accordance with 

Subsection (d) of Section 10 of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. Appendix 2), it has been 

determined that certain portions of the 

meeting require closure as the 

disclosure of the information would not 

be in the public interest. This action is 

determined appropriate because 

disclosure of such information is likely 

to reveal matters that are authorized to 

be kept secret in the interests of national 

defense (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1)), or are 

specifically exempted from disclosure 

by statute (5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(3)), or that 

may disclose trade secrets and 

commercial information that is 

privileged or confidential (5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(4)). Consistent with 5 U.S.C. 

552b(c)(1), (c)(3), and (c)(4), this 

segment of the meeting will be closed to 

avoid disclosure of information that is 

specifically exempt from disclosure by 

statute, regulation, or Executive Order. 

The classified briefing contains 

classified information protected under 

Executive Order 13526 ‘‘Classified 

National Security Information’’ and the 

update from the Task Force on Third 

Party Pre-Screening includes SSI 

protected pursuant to the SSI Federal 

Regulation (49 CFR part 1520) as well as 

business confidential and proprietary 

information. 

Accordingly, this meeting will be 

partially closed to the public. 

Dated: March 4, 2014. 

Daniel M. Gerstein, 

Under Secretary for Science and Technology 

(Acting).
