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 Chief Privacy Officer on programmatic,
policy, operational, security, administrative, and technological issues
within DHS that relate to personally identifiable information (PII), as
well as data integrity, transparency, 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 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 U.S.
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, cybersecurity,
and/or emerging technologies. 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
[[Page 29275]]
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. Individuals currently working in for-profit organizations,
including at least one who shall be familiar with data privacy-related
issues addressed by large-sized and/or multinational enterprises; and
4. 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 U.S.C. As such, they are subject
to Federal conflict of interest laws and government-wide standards of
conduct regulations. Members must annually file a New Entrant
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 permitted under the Privacy
Act (5 U.S.C. 552a) or Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C.
552). Committee members may also be 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 the Committee's reports and
recommendations to the Department are posted on the Committee's web
page on the DHS Privacy Office website (<a href="http://www.dhs.gov/privacy">www.dhs.gov/privacy</a>).
Applying for Membership: If you are interested in applying for
membership to the DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee,
please submit the following documents to Nicole Sanchez, Designated
Federal Officer, at the address provided below within 30 days of the
date of this notice:
1. A current resume; and
2. A letter that explains your qualifications for service on the
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 individuals who are
registered as Federal lobbyists are not eligible to serve on Federal
advisory committees in an individual capacity. See ``Revised Guidance
on Appointment of Lobbyists to Federal Advisory Committees, Boards, and
Commissions,'' 79 FR 47482 (Aug. 13, 2014). If you are or were
registered as a Federal lobbyist, you are not eligible to apply for
membership on the DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee
unless you have filed a bone fide de-registration or have been de-
listed by your employer as an active lobbyist reflecting the actual
cessation of lobbying activities, or you have not appeared on a
quarterly lobbying report for three consecutive quarters as a result of
actual cessation of lobbying activities. Applicants selected for
membership will be required to certify, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1746,
that they are not currently registered as Federal lobbyists. Pursuant
to the Committee's Charter, individuals who are not U.S. citizens or
legal permanent residents of the United States are not eligible to
serve on the DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee. Please

Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee, by either of the
