Remarks of Assistant Secretary of Cybersecurity and Communications Greg Garcia at the New York Metro Infragard Alliance Security Summit [December 11, 2007]
From the remarks of Greg Garcia: "Let me start with an overview of the threats as we see them at DHS. As you all know, the threats are real. Hackers are becoming more sophisticated and focused in their efforts. Criminal computer code is now written at the PhD level, and sold cheaply on the Internet. In collaboration with major internet service providers (ISPs), telecommunications carriers, and equipment and service vendors, the working group developed the following best practices that we strongly encourage businesses and government agencies to consider: Limit remote access to users critical to maintaining business continuity; Limit access to business critical services through the enterprise connection; Adjust or re-time automatic desktop backup software and software updates for telecommuters; Obtain a telecommunications service priority (TSP) for enterprise; Subscribe to government emergency telecommunications service (GETS) cards and/or wireless priority service (WPS) capabilities for critical it staff, and; Enhance your cyber security posture due to increased reliance on communications and it, reduced support staff, and increased threat of cyber attack."

Fact Sheet: Transparency and Accountability in Gulf Coast Rebuilding
Information on federal investment, transparency in government, user-friendly web-based tools, and state and local partnerships are outlined. "To better distinguish between the responsibilities at all levels, we have instituted a Transparency Initiative that will identify the location of federal infrastructure funds and make this information available in a clear and understandable way to the general public. This is a great tool that will further accelerate rebuilding. The first phase of this initiative will focus on mapping public schools in New Orleans so parents, teachers and local leaders will know the status of individual schools in their community." - Donald E.

Strengthening International Cooperation on Aviation Security, Hearing Before the Subcommittee on Transportation Security of the Committee on Homeland Security, House of Representatives, One Hundred Twelfth Congress, First Session, April 7, 2011
From the opening statement of Mike Rogers: "The subcommittee is meeting today to hear testimony on the need to strengthen international cooperation on aviation security and the progress that has been made with our foreign partners. I want to thank the witnesses for being here today and for your time in preparing for this. The evolving terrorist threat to aviation security requires us to re-evaluate how we approach international aviation security in an effort to develop common security standards with our foreign partners in the most critical areas. TSA's [Transportation Security Administration] Office of Global Strategies is responsible for engaging those foreign partners, assessing threats and vulnerabilities originating overseas, and finding ways to mitigate those threats as best we can. From intelligence and information sharing to advanced passenger and cargo screening methods, we must continue to work closely with our international partners to strengthen aviation security. One critical gap that I intend to pursue through legislation is TSA's lack of authority to donate screening equipment to countries that cannot afford to purchase their own. Weak security standards in one link in the global aviation chain could have catastrophic consequences. [...] I look forward to dialogue with our witnesses on this issue; and I also look forward to a discussion on TSA's foreign assessment program, the partnership between the United States and the European Union on aviation security, the best practices and lessons learned from previous terrorist plots and attacks, as well as the role of the International Civil Aviation Organization in the enhancement of aviation security standards and coordination." Statements, letters, and materials submitted for the record include those of the following: Mike Rogers, Sheila Jackson Lee, John W. Halinski, Filip Cornelis, Rafi Ron, and Jim Marriott.

Information Technology (IT) Security Essential Body of Knowledge (EBK): A Competency and Functional Framework for IT Security Workforce Development, 2007
"Over the past two decades, the evolution of technology has quickened society's transformation to a digital environment. These advances have been nonlinear and sometimes chaotic leading to disparities in the composition of the information technology (IT) workforce. The variation in training, expertise, acumen, and experience is a natural consequence and is found in the myriad of recruiting, education, and retention practices of employers. Since the very beginning of the digital revolution, public and private organizations, leaders, and experts have dedicated significant resources to developing the IT security field of practice, yet disparities remain. Now more than ever, IT security professionals must be prepared to meet the challenges that exist today and in the future. The convergence of voice and data communications systems, the reliance of organizations on those systems, and the emerging threat of sophisticated adversaries and criminals seeking to compromise those systems underscores the need for well trained, well equipped IT security specialists. Furthermore, the interconnectedness of government and industry through shared infrastructures and services demonstrates the need for a universal understanding across domains of the required roles, responsibilities, and competencies of the IT security workforce. IT security must be a fundamental strategic driver of an organization's business or mission because it protects against theft and hostile acts, has the potential of enhancing productivity, and can improve organizational function and design. As the IT security field matures, it requires qualified professionals to support increasingly sophisticated security demands."

Proposed Homeland Security Budget for 2013
From the Introduction: "Although the term 'homeland security' existed before 2001, the U.S. Commission on National Security/21st Century was one of the first entities to comprehensively examine the concept as a primary mission of the federal government, just months before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Since those attacks, the federal government has spent more than half a trillion dollars in its efforts to prevent further acts of terrorism in the United States and to prepare government at all levels, as well as private industry and the general public, to respond to such attacks if they occur. Funding for such activities increased substantially in the immediate aftermath of the attacks, when lawmakers enacted the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296). That legislation, which resulted in the largest reorganization of the federal government since the National Security Act of 1947, created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) by combining 22 separate agencies into a single entity with principal responsibility for homeland security. Over the past decade, all other Cabinet-level departments, as well as a number of independent federal agencies, have also received funding related to homeland security, and most continue to receive some funding for that purpose each year. For 2012, lawmakers allocated a total of $68.0 billion for homeland security, 1.5 percent more than the funding provided for 2011. The President has requested $68.9 billion in funding for 2013, 1.3 percent more than the 2012 allocation. About 90 percent of that 2013 funding would be concentrated in four departments: DHS, the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the Department of Justice (DOJ). The remainder of homeland security funding is spread among the 11 other Cabinet-level departments and 16 agencies."

Privacy Office 2007 Annual Freedom of Information Act Report to the Attorney General of the United States October 1, 2006-September 30, 2007
"In July 2006, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) produced a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) report regarding the status of our FOIA program. That report detailed a wholly unacceptable backlog of FOIA requests that were not being answered by DHS components in a timely manner. This revised report is the first installment in a systematic assessment of the root causes of this backlog. It identifies the components with the largest problems, and presents preliminary plans for backlog reduction and elimination. This latest report follows a mandate from the Secretary to improve performance and chart a course to eliminate the backlog. The plans presented in this report are still insufficiently aggressive. This report meets a government-wide reporting requirement, but it will also form the basis of a determined program of investments and management accountability within DHS to do better. The public deserves no less. DHS is responsible for leading the unified national effort to secure America by preventing and deterring terrorist attacks and protecting against, and responding to, threats and hazards to the Nation. DHS ensures safe and secure borders, welcomes lawful immigrants and visitors, and promotes the free flow of people and commerce across the borders of the United States. To accomplish its mission, DHS is organized into directorates and components, which are described more fully in Appendix A. Utilizing the organizational structure of the Department, the DHS Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act (PA) operations are centralized for purposes of policy and programmatic oversight and decentralized for purposes of operational implementation."

8 CFR Part 214: Extending Period of Optional Practical Training by 17-Months for F-1 Nonimmigrant Students with STEM Degrees and Expanding Cap-Gap Relief for all F-1 Students with Pending H-1B Petitions, Interim Final Rule
"Currently, foreign students in F-1 nonimmigrant status who have been enrolled on a full-time basis for at least one full academic year in a college, university, conservatory, or seminary certified by U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement's (ICE'S) Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) are eligible for 12 months of optional practical training (OPT) to work for a U.S. employer in a job directly related to the student's major area of study. This interim final rule extends the maximum period of OPT from 12 months to 29 months for F- 1 students who have completed a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) degree and accept employment with employers enrolled in U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' (USCIS') E-Verify employment verification program. This interim rule requires F-1 students with an approved OPT extension to report changes in the student's name or address and changes in the employer's name or address as well as periodically verify the accuracy of this reporting information. The rule also requires the employers of F-1 students with an extension of post-completion OPT authorization to report to the student's designated school official (DSO) within 48 hours after the OPT student has been terminated from, or otherwise leaves, his or her employment with that employer prior to end of the authorized period of OPT."

Department of Homeland Security Regulatory Evaluation of Benefits and Costs of the Final Minimum Standards for State-Issues Drivers' Licenses and Non-Driver Identification Cards Pursuant to the REAL ID Act
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has conducted a comprehensive, rigorous, and exhaustive Regulatory Evaluation of the benefits and costs of the final minimum standards for State-issued drivers' licenses and non-driver identification cards pursuant to the REAL ID Act of 2005. These standards will impact the lives of approximately 240 million people and the operations of all 56 State and territorial jurisdictions. This Regulatory Evaluation reflects a joint State, Federal, and public effort to improve the security and trustworthiness of drivers' licenses and identification cards. DHS estimates that the undiscounted eleven-year cost of the final rule is less than $10 billion, of which less than $4 billion are States costs. This results in an average marginal cost of $8.31 per card issuance to States. The final regulation will strengthen the security and integrity of State issued drivers' licenses and identification cards."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 4408, National Strategy to Combat Terrorist Travel Act of 2016
"H.R. 4408 would require the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), within 180 days of the bill's enactment, to transmit to the Congress a strategy to disrupt the domestic and international travel of terrorists. This report would describe existing programs to combat terrorist travel, identify current vulnerabilities that could be exploited by enemies of the United States, and include a plan to implement protective actions. During the seven-year period after enactment, H.R. 4408 would require DHS to update the strategy within 180 days of the beginning of a new presidential administration. For 10 years after enactment, DHS would have to update the implementation plan annually. Based on information from DHS, CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that the reports and implementation plans required by H.R. 4408 would cost less than $500,000 annually and would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Any costs in subsequent years to carry out those plans for additional equipment or personnel, for example--would be attributable to separate legislation. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 4408 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2027."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 1425, Wartime Treatment Study Act
"H.R. 1425 would establish the Commission on Wartime Treatment of European Americans and the Commission on Wartime Treatment of Jewish Refugees. The first commission would review the conduct of the United States government during World War II towards European Americans and European Latin Americans. The second commission would focus on the government's treatment of Jewish refugees during World War II. Each commission, consisting of seven members, would have 18 months to report on its findings and recommendations. Members would serve without pay, but would be reimbursed for travel expenses. In addition, the commissions could hire staff or use personnel from other agencies. Each commission would terminate 60 days after submitting its final report. To fund the costs of the commissions, the bill would authorize the appropriation of $1.2 million ($600,000 per commission). "

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 1104, An Act to Increase the Number of Iraqi and Afghani Translators and Interpreters Who May Be Admitted to the United States as Special Immigrants
"Current law allows certain nationals of Iraq or Afghanistan who have worked with the U.S. Armed Forces as translators to apply for permanent U.S. residence as special immigrants. This opportunity is limited to 50 individuals, plus their families, during any fiscal year. S. 1104 would increase the current limit to 500 translators or interpreters, plus their families, for each of fiscal years 2007 and 2008. Enacting this legislation could affect direct spending and revenues by the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of State, and certain federal assistance programs. Because so few special visas would be provided, however, CBO [Congressional Budget Office ] estimates that S. 1104 would have no significant budgetary impact. S. 1104 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would impose no significant costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

6 CFR Part 37: Minimum Standards for Drivers' Licenses and Identification Cards Acceptable by Federal Agencies for Official Purposes, final rule
"This rule establishes standards to meet the minimum requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005. These standards involve a number of aspects of the process used to issue identification documents, including: information and security features that must be incorporated into each card; application information to establish the identity and immigration status of an applicant before a card can be issued; and physical security standards for facilities where drivers' licenses and applicable identification cards are produced. This final rule also provides a process for States to seek an additional extension of the compliance deadline to May 11, 2011, by demonstrating material compliance with the core requirements of the Act and this rule. Finally, taking into consideration the operational burdens on State Departments of Motor Vehicles, this rule extends the enrollment time period to allow States determined by DHS to be in compliance with the Act to replace all licenses intended for official purpose with REAL ID-compliant cards by December l, 2014 for people born after December 1, 1964, and by December 1, 2017 for those born on or before December 1, 1964."

8 CFR Part 274a: Safe-Harbor Procedures for Employers Who Receive a No-Match Letter: Clarification; Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, Supplemental Proposed Rule
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is proposing to amend its regulations that provide a 'safe harbor' from liability under section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act for employers who follow certain procedures after receiving a notice - from the Social Security Administration (SSA), called a 'no-match letter,' or from DHS, called a 'notice of suspect document' - that casts doubt on the employment eligibility of their employees. The prior final rule was published on August 15, 2007 (the August 2007 Final Rule). Implementation of that rule was preliminarily enjoined by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on October 10, 2007. The district court based its preliminary injunction on three findings. This supplemental proposed rule clarifies certain aspects of the August 2007 Final Rule and responds to the three findings underlying the district court's injunction."

Choices for Deficit Reduction
From the Summary: "The United States is facing fundamental budgetary challenges. Federal debt held by the public exceeds 70 percent of the nation's annual output (gross domestic product, or GDP)--a percentage not seen since 1950--and a continuation of current policies would boost the debt further. Although debt would decline to 58 percent of GDP in 2022 under the current-law assumptions that underlie the Congressional Budget Office's (CBO's) baseline projections, those projections depend heavily on significant increases in taxes and decreases in spending that are scheduled to take effect at the beginning of January. If, instead, lawmakers maintained current policies by preventing most of those changes from occurring--what CBO refers to as the alternative fiscal scenario--debt held by the public would increase to 90 percent of GDP 10 years from now and continue to rise rapidly thereafter. Federal debt cannot grow faster than the nation's output indefinitely, and prolonged increases in debt relative to GDP can cause significant long-term damage to both the government's finances and the broader economy. […] This report reviews the scale and sources of the federal government's budgetary imbalance, various options for bringing spending and taxes into closer alignment, and criteria that lawmakers and the public might use to evaluate different approaches to deficit reduction. The report focuses on CBO's alternative fiscal scenario, rather than on the current-law baseline, to show the size of the policy changes--relative to policies now in place--that would be necessary to put the budget on a more sustainable path."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: H.R. 6083, Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2012
From the Summary: "H.R. 6083 would amend and extend a number of major programs administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), including those addressing farm income support, food and nutrition, land conservation, trade promotion, rural development, research, forestry, energy, horticulture, and crop insurance. When combined with estimated spending under CBO's [Congressional Budget Office] baseline projections for those programs, CBO estimates that enacting the Federal Agriculture Reform and Risk Management Act of 2012 would bring total direct spending for those USDA programs to $957.7 billion over the 2013-2022 period--$35.1 billion less than we project would be spent if those programs were continued as under current law."

Appendix B - List of Tier 1 Highway Security-Sensitive Materials (Tier 1 HSSM) and Tier 2 Highway Security-Sensitive Materials (Tier 2 HSSM) with Corresponding Security Action Items
This documents provides information on the level of security needed to transport Tier 1 Highway Security-Sensitive Materials (Tier 1 HSSM) and Tier 2 Highway Security-Sensitive Materials (Tier 2 HSSM). "The security action items have been divided into four categories 1) general security; 2) personnel security; 3) unauthorized access; and 4) en-route security. General security measures pertain to security threat assessments, security planning, protecting critical information, and awareness of industry security practices. Personnel security and unauthorized access refer to practices affecting the security of the motor carrier's employees, contracted employees, and its property. En-route security refers to the actual movement and handling of motor vehicles containing HSSM."

Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate: S. 250, Justice for All Reauthorization Act of 2012
From the Summary: "S. 250 would authorize the appropriation of nearly $1.5 billion over the 2013-2017 period, mostly for Department of Justice (DOJ) programs to enhance the analysis of DNA samples relating to criminal investigations. Under current law, $388 million of that total is already authorized to be appropriated. Assuming appropriation of the newly authorized amounts (about $1.1 billion), CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that implementing S. 250 would cost $622 million over the 2013-2017 period and $450 million after 2017. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues. S. 250 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or tribal governments."

"H.R. 398 would extend the period of time available for certain members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their spouses to complete requirements to gain permanent U.S. residence. This legislation would affect a small number of people, and CBO [Congressional Budget Office] estimates that it would have no significant effect on the federal budget. Because the bill could affect direct spending for visa and immigration matters and increase the cost of federal assistance programs, pay-as-you-go procedures apply; however, we estimate that those costs would be insignificant."
