Basis for Partial Closure: In accordance with Section 10(d) of

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: July 22, 2024.

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