-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 27, 2023 the Secretary of DHS, Alejandro N. Mayorkas,
issued a memorandum tasking the Homeland Security Advisory Council
(HSAC) to establish six subcommittees further outlined below. This
notice is not a solicitation for membership.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rebecca Sternhell, Principal Deputy
Assistant Secretary & HSAC Designated Federal Official, Homeland
Security Advisory Council, Office of Partnership and Engagement, U.S.
Department of Homeland Security at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#8fc7dccecccfe7fea1ebe7fca1e8e0f9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="276f746664674f5609434f5409404851">[email protected]</span></a> or 202-891-2876.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Homeland Security Advisory Council
provides organizationally independent, strategic, timely, specific, and
actionable advice and recommendations for the consideration of the
Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security on matters related to
homeland security. The Homeland Security Advisory Council is comprised
of leaders in local law enforcement, first responders, State, local and
tribal government, national policy, the private sector, and academia.
The Secretary has requested that the HSAC form new subcommittees to
study and provide recommendations in four critical areas for the
Department:
1. Development of the Department's Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Strategy. This effort will be divided into two subcommittees. One will
be focused on how the Department can best use AI to advance critical
missions, and the other will be focused on how the Department should be
building defenses to the nefarious use of AI in the control of an
adversary.
2. Potential revisions to the homeland security grant programs,
including the risk methodology that is applied, to ensure the
Department is operating the programs optimally in light of the changed
threat landscape over the past 20 years.
3. A wholesale review of the immigration Alternatives to Detention
(ATD) programs, and recommendations to modernize the programs and make
them more effective.
4. Potential revisions to the DHS workplace and workforce skill
set. This effort will be divided into two subcommittees. One will
review the Department's current diverse work environments--from secure
spaces and ports of entry to remote offices--and make recommendations
for the workplace of the future. The second subcommittee will assess
the alignment of workforce skills with work responsibilities in
discrete, critical mission areas.
Schedule: The subcommittees' findings and recommendations will be
submitted to the HSAC for its deliberation and vote during a public
meeting mid-late Summer 2023.
Dated: March 29, 2023.
Rebecca Kagan Sternhell,
Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary & HSAC Designated Federal
Official, Homeland Security Advisory Council, Department of Homeland
Security.
