SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory 
Committee is an advisory committee established in accordance with the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. 
Appendix. The Committee was established by the Secretary of Homeland 
Security under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 451 and provides advice at the 
request of the Secretary and the DHS Chief Privacy Officer on 
programmatic, policy, operational, administrative, and technological 
issues within DHS that relate to personally identifiable information 
(PII), as well as data integrity and other privacy-related matters. The 
duties of the Committee are solely advisory in nature. In developing 
its advice and recommendations, the Committee may, consistent with the 
requirements of the FACA, conduct studies, inquiries, or briefings in 
consultation with individuals and groups in the private sector and/or 
other governmental entities. The Committee typically hosts two public 
meetings per calendar year.
    Committee Membership: The DHS Privacy Office is seeking 17 
applicants for terms of three years from the date of appointment. 
Members are appointed by and serve at the pleasure of the Secretary of 
the Department of Homeland Security, and must be specially qualified to 
serve on the Committee by virtue of their education, training, and 
experience in the fields of data protection, privacy, and/or emerging 
technologies, including cybersecurity. Members are expected to actively 
participate in Committee and Subcommittee activities and to provide 
material input into Committee research and recommendations. Pursuant to 
the FACA, the Committee's Charter requires that Committee membership be 
balanced to include:
    1. Individuals who are currently working in higher education, state 
or local government, or not-for-profit organizations;
    2. Individuals currently working in for-profit organizations 
including at least one who shall be familiar with the data privacy-
related issues addressed by small- to medium-sized enterprises; and
    3. Other individuals, as determined appropriate by the Secretary.
    Committee members serve as Special Government Employees (SGE) as 
defined in section 202(a) of title 18 United States Code. As such, they 
are subject to Federal conflict of interest laws and government-wide 
standards of conduct regulations. Members must annually file 
Confidential Financial Disclosure Reports (OGE Form 450) for review and 
approval by Department ethics officials. DHS may not release these 
reports or the information in them to the public except under an order 
issued by a Federal court or as otherwise provided under the Privacy

[[Page 75468]]

Act (5 U.S.C. 552a). Committee members are also required to obtain and 
retain at least a secret-level security clearance as a condition of 
their appointment. Members are not compensated for their service on the 
Committee; however, while attending meetings or otherwise engaged in 
Committee business, members may receive travel expenses and per diem in 
accordance with Federal regulations.
    Committee History and Activities: All individuals interested in 
applying for Committee membership should review the history of the 
Committee's work. The Committee's charter and current membership, 
transcripts of Committee meetings, and all of the Committee's reports 
and recommendations to the Department are posted on the Committee's Web 
page on the DHS Privacy Office Web site (www.dhs.gov/privacy).

membership on the DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee, 
please submit the following documents to Sandra Taylor, Designated 
Federal Officer, at the address provided below within 30 days of the 
date of this notice:

Committee and describes in detail how your experience is relevant to 
the Committee's work.
    Your resume and your letter will be weighed equally in the 
application review process. Please note that by Administration policy,
