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. ch. 10), 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 Council will meet in an open session between 11 a.m. to 11:20
a.m. ET. The Council was tasked to create the Combating Online Child
Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (CSEA) Subcommittee on November 14, 2023.
The CSEA Subcommittee is tasked with (1) an assessment of how DHS can
streamline and strengthen internal operations across components to
effectively coordinate and collectively address online child sexual
exploitation and abuse alongside our international partners, the
technology industry, and non-governmental organizations. (2) An
assessment and development of recommended actions for the technology
industry to proactively identify, report, and prevent future sexual
exploitation and abuse of children online. The assessment should
include (a) a review of existing authorities and how DHS could utilize
these authorities to move our interests forward; and (b) identification
of the barriers impeding industry from providing actionable information
to law enforcement to identify victims and perpetrators. (3) An
assessment to gauge the strengths, gaps, and opportunities in public
awareness, industry engagement, and whole-of-community involvement. The
HSAC CSEA assessment should include recommendations for cross-industry
collaboration to raise public awareness of online CSEA.
The open session will include a briefing from the CSEA
Subcommittee, public comment, HSAC member deliberation, and voting on
the draft report from the CSEA Subcommittee.
For the open session, members of the public will be in listen-only
mode except during the public comment session.

ET to participate in a sensitive discussion with DHS senior leaders
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.
Dated: May 21, 2024.

Acting Executive Director, Homeland Security Advisory Council,
Department of Homeland Security.
