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 unless the President, or the 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).
    The HSAC provides organizationally independent, strategic, timely,

facing the United States and how DHS plans to address those threats.
