Department of Defense and the Designated Federal Officer for the Board,
DoD was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-
3.150(a) concerning its November 3-4, 2021 meeting. Accordingly, the
Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day
notification requirement.

will move into open session from 10:45 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. to receive a

Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to the FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140,
portions of the meeting on November 3, 2021 from 8:55 a.m. to 10:20
a.m. and on November 4, 2021 from 10:45 a.m. to 11:40 a.m. are open to
the public. Persons desiring to participate in the public sessions are
required to register. Attendance will be by teleconference only. To

<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#85eaf6e1abf5e0ebf1e4e2eaebabeae1e4e8abe8e7fdabe1e0e3e0ebf6e0a8e7f0f6ecebe0f6f6a8e7eae4f7e1c5e8e4ece9abe8ece9"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="b4dbc7d09ac4d1dac0d5d3dbda9adbd0d5d99ad9d6cc9ad0d1d2d1dac7d199d6c1c7dddad1c7c799d6dbd5c6d0f4d9d5ddd89ad9ddd8">[email protected]</span></a>. Requests to
attend the public session must be received no later than 3:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time, on Tuesday, November 2, 2021. Upon receipt of
this information, a teleconference line number will be sent to the
email address provided which will allow teleconference attendance to

any user experiencing technical difficulties during the meeting.)
In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, 5 U.S.C. Appendix and 41 CFR 102-3.155, it is hereby determined
that portions of the meeting of the Board include classified
information and other matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that,
accordingly, the following dates and times will be closed to the
public: November 3, 2021 from 11:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and November 4,
2021 from 8:15 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. The
determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that
discussions throughout these periods will involve classified matters of
national security concern. Such classified material is so intertwined
with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be segregated
into separate discussions without defeating the effectiveness and
meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the meeting to be open to
the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly
diminish the ultimate utility of the Board's findings and
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the Deputy Secretary
of Defense.
Written Comments and Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j)
and 102-3.140 and section 10(a)(3) of the FACA, the public or
interested organizations may submit written comments or statements to
the Board in response to the stated agenda of the meeting or in regard
to the Board's mission in general. Written comments or statements
should be submitted to Ms. Jennifer Hill, the Designated Federal
Officer, via electronic mail (the preferred mode of submission) at the
address listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Each
page of the comment or statement must include the author's name, title
or affiliation, address, and daytime phone
[[Page 60005]]
number. The Designated Federal Officer must receive written comments or
statements being submitted in response to the agenda set forth in this
notice by November 1, 2021 to be considered by the Board. The
Designated Federal Officer will review all timely submitted written
comments or statements with the Board Chair, and ensure the comments
are provided to all members of the Board before the meeting. Written
comments or statements received after this date may not be provided to
the Board until its next scheduled meeting. Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-
3.140d, the Board is not obligated to allow any member of the public to
speak or otherwise address the Board during the meeting. Members of the
public will be permitted to make verbal comments during the meeting
only at the time and in the manner described below. If a member of the
public is interested in making a verbal comment at the open meeting,
that individual must submit a request, with a brief statement of the
subject matter to be addressed by the comment, at least three (3)
business days in advance to the Designated Federal Officer, via
electronic mail (the preferred mode of submission) at the addresses
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. The Designated
Federal Officer will log each request, in the order received, and in
consultation with the Board Chair determine whether the subject matter
of each comment is relevant to the Board's mission and/or the topics to
be addressed in the public meeting. Members of the public who have
requested to make a comment and whose comments have been deemed
relevant under the process described above will be invited to speak in
the order in which the Designated Federal Officer received their
requests. The Board Chair may allot a specific amount of time for
comments. Please note that all submitted comments and statements will
be treated as public documents and will be made available for public
inspection, including, but not limited to, being posted on the Board's
website.
