SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice of this meeting is given under 
Section 10(a) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), Public Law 
92-463 (5 U.S.C. Appendix), which requires each FACA committee meeting 
to be open to the public.
    The Council provides organizationally independent, strategic, 
timely, specific, actionable advice, and recommendations to 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, Federal, State, and local government, 
the private sector, and academia.
    The Council will meet in an open session between 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 
p.m. EST. The Council will swear in new members, and receive new 
taskings.
    The Council will meet in a closed session from 10:15 a.m. to 12:30 
p.m. EST, 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., and from 3:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST, 
to receive sensitive operational information from senior officials on 
current counterterrorism threats, border security, the Transportation 
and Security Administration, and cybersecurity.
    Basis for Partial Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), the Secretary of the Department 
of Homeland Security has determined this meeting requires partial 
closure. The disclosure of the information relayed would be detrimental 
to the public interest for the following reasons:
    The Council will receive closed session briefings from senior 
officials. These briefings will concern matters sensitive to homeland 
security within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(7)(E) and 
552b(c)(9)(B). The Council will receive operational counterterrorism 
updates on the current threat environment and security measures 
associated with countering such threats, including those related to 
aviation security programs, border security, immigration enforcement, 
and cybersecurity.
    The session is closed under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(7)(E) because 
disclosure of that information could reveal investigative techniques 
and procedures not generally available to the public, allowing 
terrorists and those with interests against the United States to 
circumvent the law and thwart the Department's strategic initiatives. 
In addition, the session is closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) 
because disclosure of these techniques and procedures could frustrate 
the successful implementation of protective measures designed to keep 
our country safe.
    Participation: Members of the public will have until 5:00 p.m. EST 
on Friday, December 1, 2017, to register to attend the Council meeting 
on December 8, 2017. Due to limited availability of seating, admittance 
will be on a first-come first-serve basis. Participants interested in 
attending the meeting can contact Mike Miron at HSAC@hq.dhs.gov or 
(202) 447-3135. You are required to provide your full legal name, date 
of birth, and company/agency affiliation. The public may access the 
facility via public transportation or use the public parking garages 
located near the Wilson Center. Directions to the Wilson Center can be
