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, 
specific, actionable advice, and recommendations to the Secretary of 
Homeland Security on matters related to homeland security. The Council 
consists of senior executives from government, the private sector, 
academia, law enforcement, and non-governmental organizations. The open 
session will include: (1) Remarks from Senior DHS leaders, (2) 
introduction and swearing in of new members, (3) updates from new 
subcommittees, and (4) receipt of, deliberation on, and vote on the 
draft report from the Customer Experience and Service Delivery 
Subcommittee that was tasked on May 18, 2022.
    The Council will meet in a closed session from 3:25 p.m. to 4 p.m. 
ET to participate in a sensitive discussion with DHS Senior 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 the 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 U.S.C. 552b(c)(9)(B) because the 
disclosure of this information could significantly frustrate 
implementation of proposed agency actions.
    Members of the public will be in listen-only mode except during the 
public comment session. Members of the public may register to 
participate in this Council meeting via teleconference under the 
following procedures. Each individual must provide their full legal 
name and email address no later than 5 p.m. ET on Friday, December 2,
