SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory
Committee is an advisory committee established in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. ch. 10. The Committee
was established by the Secretary of Homeland Security under 6 U.S.C.
451. The Committee 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) and 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 FACA, conduct
studies, inquiries, or briefings in consultation with individuals and
groups in the private sector and/or other governmental entities. The
Committee holds at least one public meeting 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. Members 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 currently working in higher education, state or
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;
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 Report (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 are also 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
[[Page 47582]]
accordance with Federal travel regulations.
Committee History and Activities: 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 Committee 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: To apply for membership on the DHS Data
Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee, please submit the following
documents to Sandra L. Taylor, Designated Federal Officer, at the
address provided below within 45 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 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, been de-listed by
your employer as an active lobbyist reflecting the actual cessation of
lobbying activities, or not appeared on a quarterly lobbying report for
three consecutive quarters because 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.
