numerical limitations to the categories
to allow for increased flexibility across
the broad categories of membership. The
Council Representative members, as
well as being diverse and an inclusive
membership will represent one or more
of the categories below:
(a) Academic associations;
(b) School safety, campus safety,
public safety, or emergency
management associations;
(c) State, local or tribal law
enforcement or related association;
(d) President or Chancellor of a public
or private:
• Four-year college or university;
• Two-year community college; or
• Minority Serving Institution (MSIs);
(e) Superintendent or comparable of a
K–12 public school system;
(f) President or CEO of an Education
Employee Association or Education
Employee Labor Organization; and/or
(g) President or CEO of a private
sector company, non-governmental
organization, or civil society.
Appointments are made without
regard to political affiliation. In order
for DHS to fully leverage broad-ranging
experience and education, the HSAPC
must be diverse with regard to
professional and technical expertise.
DHS is committed to pursuing
opportunities, consistent with
applicable law, to compose a committee
that reflects the diversity of the nation’s
people.
The Council is the sole advisory
committee within DHS providing advice
and recommendations on matters
relating to the intersection of education
and academia and the DHS mission.
The Council will operate in an
advisory capacity only. The Council is
necessary and in the public interest.
This notice is provided in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. The
Council will terminate two years from
the date of its establishment, unless
renewed by the Secretary.
Revisions were made to the
committee’s objectives and scope of
activities to encompass broader topics to
align with the challenges facing the
education and academic sectors. These
broader topics allow the Secretary to
receive recommendations on more
facets of issues pertaining to these
sectors. The committee’s revised
objectives and scope of activities
provide for the committee to make
recommendations that may relate to, but
are not limited to:
(a) DHS-wide funding opportunities,
such as grants, scholarships, programs,
and hiring surges;
(b) Safety and security, including
prevention, response, mitigation,

recovery, and other emergency
management and preparedness
measures;
(c) Improving coordination and
sharing of threat and security related
information including threats of
violence, and targeted violence and
terrorism prevention;
(d) Methods to develop career
opportunities to support a 21st century
DHS workforce; and
(e) Enhancing and expanding research
opportunities, such as the DHS Science
and Technology Centers of Excellence
and DHS/National Security Agency joint
Centers of Academic Excellence.
Finally, to allow for more external
(non-Federal) voices, the revised charter
removes DHS and Interagency members,
which included ‘‘up to one
representative’’ from six DHS offices/
components and four federal agencies
who served as non-voting ex officio
members. Under the revised charter, the
Secretary may invite participation from
other federal Departments and
Interagency members as necessary.

to protect the Nation’s 16 critical
infrastructure sectors by implementing
the National Infrastructure Protection
Plan (NIPP) 2013, Partnering for Critical
Infrastructure Security and Resilience.
Pursuant to Presidential Policy Directive
21 on Critical Infrastructure Security
and Resilience (February 2013), each
sector is assigned a Sector-Specific
Agency (SSA) to oversee Federal
interaction with the array of sector
security partners, both public and
private. An SSA is responsible for
leading a unified public-private sector
effort to develop, coordinate, and
implement a comprehensive physical,
human, and cyber security strategy for
its assigned sector. There are six critical
infrastructure sectors assigned to CISA
ISD, including the Chemical sector. In
addition to fulfilling the regulatory
obligations set forth by Congress, the
CISA Office of Chemical Security
coordinates with and builds sustainable
partnerships with its public and private
sector stakeholders to enable more
effective coordination, information
sharing, and program development and
implementation. These partnerships are
sustained through the NIPP Sector
Partnership Model.4
Information sharing is a key
component of the NIPP Partnership
Model, and DHS sponsored conferences
are one mechanism for information
sharing. To facilitate conference
planning and organization. This
voluntary information collection tool for
online event registration is maintained
and leveraged by the Office of Chemical
Security within CISA ISD. The
information collected with this tool is
used to register public and private
sector stakeholders for meetings hosted
by the Office of Chemical Security,
principally the annual Chemical
Security Summit. This tool is also used
for private sector stakeholders to register
their interest in being contacted by
chemical security personnel regarding
services provided under the voluntary
ChemLock security program. The Office
of Chemical Security uses the
information collected to ensure that
sufficient space and resources are
available at meetings; to follow up with
registrants when required; to develop
meeting materials for attendees; and
efficiently generate attendee and
speaker nametags. Additionally, it
enables the Office of Chemical Security
to gain a better understanding of the
organizations participating in chemical
security events, and subsequently also
identify which segments of the sector
are underrepresented. This then allows

Security and Resilience, pp 10–12.

for the Office to target these
underrepresented sector elements
through outreach and awareness
initiatives.
The changes to the collection include:
changes to the burden costs, annual
government costs, and revised and
added data fields. Historically retained
fields that collect redundant or
unnecessary information have been
removed and existing fields have been
updated for accuracy and ease of use.
Also, the following wo fields has been
added:
• ‘How did you hear of this event,’ a
field which was included in the
original instrument for this collection,
and removed in a previous revision,
has now been re-added to the
instrument
• A field for the registrant’s company
website has been added
The annual burden cost for the
collection has increased by $5,751, from
$1,802 to $7,553, largely due to an
increase in the number of respondents
associated with the shift to a hybrid
event and updated compensation rates.
Additionally, the scope of the collection
has increased twofold: (1) the annual
Chemical Security Summit, the event
with which the calculations for this
collection have been historically based,
has moved to a hybrid format that
allows for a dramatic increase in
estimated registration numbers (from
400 previously to 1400), and (2) the
utilization of this collection for the
voluntary ChemLock program which
adds an estimated 200 users per year.
The annual government cost for the
collection has increased by $53,757,
from $8,347 to $62,104, due to the shift
to a hybrid event format and the
associated increase in the number of
registrations, which increased from
1,000 to 7,106.
This is a revision and renewal of an
information collection.
OMB is particularly interested in
comments that:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
3. including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
4. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
5. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
