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 a portion of each FACA

head of the agency to which the advisory committee reports, determines 
that a portion of the meeting may be closed to the public in accordance 
with 5 U.S.C. 552b(c). Due to the technical reasons, the department was

Leadership regarding DHS operations. Basis for Partial Closure: In 
accordance with Section 10(d) of FACA, the Secretary of Homeland 
Security has determined this meeting must be closed during this session 
as the disclosure of information relayed would be detrimental to the 
public interest for the following reasons: The Council will participate 
in a sensitive operational discussion containing For Official Use Only 
and Law Enforcement Sensitive information. This discussion will include 
information regarding threats facing the United States and how DHS 
plans to address those threats. The session is closed pursuant to 5
