that the reestablishment of the Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory
Committee is necessary and in the public interest in connection with

Officer, DHS Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee, Department

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background: Under the authority of 6 U.S.C. 451, this charter
reestablishes the Data Privacy and Integrity Advisory Committee (DPIAC)
as a discretionary committee, which shall operate in accordance with
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C.
Appendix. The Committee provides advice at the request of the Secretary
and the Chief Privacy Officer of the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) (hereinafter ``the Chief Privacy Officer'') on programmatic,
policy, operational, security, administrative, and technological issues
within DHS that relate to personally identifiable information (PII), as
well as data integrity, transparency, and other privacy-related
matters.
Good Cause for Late Notice: This Notice of Committee
reestablishment is published less than 15 days before Notice of Charter
reestablishment. Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.65, notices of establishment
and reestablishment of advisory committees must appear at least 15
calendar days before the charter is filed. However, the General
Services Administration (GSA) may approve less than 15 calendar days
when requested by the agency for good cause. 41 CFR 102-3.65(b). In
this case, GSA has approved less than 15 calendar days for good cause.
Due to extenuating circumstances, including significant changes to the
Privacy Office staffing, the need to prioritize work on issues related
to COVID-19, and clearance requirements within DHS, DHS was
[[Page 39927]]
unable to submit to GSA the necessary documentation in time to renew
the DPIAC Charter before it expired on June 4, 2020.
Withdrawal of previously published notice: A notice of committee
charter renewal was prematurely published on June 18, 2020, at 85 FR
36873 and is hereby withdrawn.
Dated: June 27, 2020.
Constantina Kozanas,
Chief Privacy Officer, Department of Homeland Security.
