1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal
Officer, the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, Prosecution,
and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces was unable to provide
public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its June
21 through June 22, 2022 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee
Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113-291), as modified

Secretary of Defense on the investigation, prosecution, and defense of
allegations of rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault, and other sexual
misconduct involving members of the Armed Forces. This will be the
twenty-third public meeting held by the DAC-IPAD. On the first day of
the meeting, the Committee will discuss its Terms of Reference,
establishing subcommittees, and its current statutory and assigned
tasks. The Committee will then receive a briefing on appellate
decisions in military sexual assault cases. The Committee will then
receive an update on data, followed by a briefing on the Joint
Explanatory Statement, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2020. In the afternoon, the Committee will hear from State and
federal prosecutors on best practices for establishing an independent
prosecutorial office. This will be followed by a Committee discussion
about best practices. At the last session of the day, the Committee
will receive an overview of the Report on Tour Lengths and Rating Chain
Structure for Services' Special Victims' Counsel/Victims' Legal Counsel
Programs. On the second day of the meeting, the Committee will receive
a briefing on the Rules for Courts-Martial amendment process. Next the
