The Common Appropriation Structure (CAS) allows DHS to integrate the strategic programmatic view with our budget view of resources. With this structure, a significant portion of the Level 1 PPAs represent what DHS refers to as our mission programs. Mission support programs are also an important subset of our Level 1 PPAs that provide products and/or services to mission programs. Mission support capabilities include research and development, intelligence, training, and information sharing. Mission support programs may be crosscutting and support multiple mission programs. Mission support also includes enterprise leadership, management and/or business administration services and describes the capabilities and activities that support the day-to-day management and back office functions enabling the Department to operate efficiently and effectively. Performance measures associated with our programs are presented in two measure sets, strategic and management measures. Strategic measures communicate results delivered for our agency goals by programs and are considered our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA) measures. Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) mission support programs having publically reported measures are presented below. Acquisition and Operations Analysis: The Acquisition and Operations Analysis programs provide expert assistance to entities across the homeland security enterprise to ensure that the transition, acquisition, and deployment of technologies and information improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operational capabilities across the homeland security enterprise. This program assists in testing and evaluation, standards development, requirements analysis, systems engineering, and supporting technology transition. Management Measures Measure: Number of SAFETY Act "transition" (new, highly innovative) technologies awarded Description: In order to stay up to date with the continually changing nature of terrorism, the Office of SAFETY (Support Anti-Terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies) Act Implementation (OSAI) will seek out those evolving technologies that can serve a homeland security mission and provide coverage to enable their transition into the commercial market, at a rate of 20 percent a year. A "transition" technology is defined as any technology that is awarded Developmental Testing and Evaluation (DTE) Designation, and those that can be considered new and innovative (i.e. a new technological application in the homeland security arena). OSAI is actively seeking out these technologies in an effort to address the ever-changing nature of terrorism. The SAFETY Act program is the only federal program that attempts to help industry transition these developmental technologies into the commercial marketplace. Fiscal Year: FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Target: 21 21 21 18 18 18 Result: 22 17 18 10 TBD TBD S&T - 4 Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate Measure: Percent of Capability Development Support Group program milestones that are met, as established in the fiscal year's budget execution plan Description: This measure reflects the Capability Development Support (CDS) Group milestones that are met, or completed, as established in the fiscal year budget execution plan. These milestones reflect the programmatic and technical events, accomplishments, or intermediate goals in the life of CDS projects and programs. These milestones indicate satisfactory progress toward achieving long-term program performance goals and Department-wide goals and objectives. In particular, this measure captures the contribution of CDS in supporting decisions resulting in improved acquisition and research and development outcomes across DHS. When CDS completes tests and evaluations, technical assessments, standards and operations analyses, and process analyses, the results of these analyses inform decisions for DHS Components, Acquisitions Review Board, Joint Requirements Council (JRC), Research and Development (R&D) programs, standards community, and S&T that improve acquisition and R&D outcomes. Fiscal Year: FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Target: 75% 75% 75% 75% 75% 75% Result: 87% 100% 95% 100% TBD TBD Measure: Percent of Research and Development Partnerships (RDP) program milestones that are met, as established in the fiscal year's budget execution plan Description: This measure reflects the Research and Development Partnerships (RDP) Group program milestones that meet their fiscal year budget execution and five-year plan goals. RDP conducts extensive outreach efforts with members of the Homeland Security Enterprise (HSE) based on the strategic and programmatic needs of the DHS and S&T. The RDP assists in both “transmitting and receiving information” to stakeholders across the HSE. The RDP enables opportunities for evaluating, expediting and monitoring the execution of programs with an increased speed-of-execution compared to “in-house only” activities. RDP maintains extensive contacts and key references to conduct outreach, and provide research and funding opportunities to the public and private sectors both domestically and internationally. Fiscal Year: FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Target: 75% 75% 75% 75% 75% 75% Result: 77% 80% 88% 81% TBD TBD Research, Development, and Innovation: Research, Development, and Innovation is a portfolio of customer-focused and output-oriented research, development, testing, and evaluation programs. The FY 2019 program consists of portfolios to including: Border Security, Chemical/Biological/ Explosives Defense, Counter Terrorist, and First Responder and Disaster Resilience. These portfolios support the needs of the operational components of the Department and the first responder community to address capability gaps. S&T - 5 Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate Strategic Measures Measure: Percent of Apex technologies or knowledge products transitioned to customers for planned improvements in the Homeland Security Enterprise Description: This measure gauges the transition of high priority, and high value research and development projects known as Apex projects. Apex technologies and knowledge products are quickly delivered to improve homeland security operations. Apex products consist of cross-cutting, multi-disciplinary efforts which employ 3 to 5 year innovation cycles from project inception through operational testing. Fiscal Year: FY 2014 FY 2015 FY 2016 FY 2017 FY 2018 FY 2019 Target: --- 80% 80% 80% 80% 80% Result: --- 82% 100% 83% TBD TBD Measure: Percent of planned cybersecurity products and

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection ◆ 8 CFR Part 217 CHANGES TO THE VISA WAIVER PROGRAM TO IMPLEMENT THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FOR TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION (ESTA) PROGRAM AND THE FEE FOR USE OF THE SYSTEM AGENCY: U.S. Customs and Border Protection; DHS. ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: This rule adopts as final, with one substantive change, interim amendments to DHS regulations published in the Federal Register on June 9, 2008 and August 9, 2010 regarding the Elec- tronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA). ESTA is the online system through which nonimmigrant aliens intending to enter the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) must obtain a travel authorization in advance of travel to the United States. The June 9, 2008 interim final rule established ESTA and set the require- ments for use for travel through air and sea ports of entry. The August 9, 2010 interim final rule established the fee for ESTA. This document addresses comments received in response to both rules and some operational modifications affecting VWP applicants and travelers since the publication of the interim rules. DATES: This rule is effective on July 8, 2015.

Both public and private investments in science and technology are increasing, and new institutions and policies are emerging in the area of homeland security. These developments will have an impact on researchers, firms and policy-makers also in Sweden, creating opportunities for collaboration, business and information sharing. The purpose of this report is to create an overview of the structure and funding of homeland security R&D in the United States. The report is relevant for the Swedish science and technology, and security communities and can serve as a basis for further collaboration between Sweden and the United States.
