SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of
the Department of Defense and the Designated Federal Officer, the
Defense Science Board was unable to provide public notification
required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its meeting of June 12 thru
13, 2022. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for
the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b),
[[Page 42162]]
waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement. This meeting is
being held under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA) (Title 5 United States Code (U.S.C), Appendix), the Government
in the Sunshine Act (Title 5 U.S.C., Section 552b), and Title 41 Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR), Sections 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DSB is to provide
independent advice and recommendations on matters relating to the DoD's
scientific and technical enterprise. The objective of the meeting is to
obtain, review, and evaluate classified information related to the
DSB's mission. DSB membership will meet to discuss the 2022 DSB Summer
Study on Technology Superiority (``the Summer Study'').
Agenda: The DSB meeting on the Summer Study will begin on July 12,
2022 at 8:00 a.m. with administrative opening remarks from Mr. Kevin
Doxey, the Executive Director and Designated Federal Officer, and a
classified overview of the objectives of the 2022 Summer Study from Dr.
Eric Evans, the DSB Chair. Next, the DSB members will meet in a plenary
session to discuss classified concepts, capabilities, and strategies
that may enhance the military technological advantage of the United
States. Following a break, the DSB members will continue to meet to
discuss classified concepts, capabilities, and strategies that may
enhance the military technological advantage of the United States. The
meeting will adjourn at 5:00 p.m. On July 13, 2022, beginning at 8:00
a.m., the DSB members will again meet to discuss classified concepts,
capabilities, and strategies that may enhance the military
technological advantage of the United States. Following a break, the
DSB members will meet in a plenary session to discuss classified
concepts, capabilities, and strategies that may enhance the military
technological advantage of the United States. The meeting will adjourn
at 4:00 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA
and Title 41 CFR, Section 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that the
DSB meeting will be closed to the public. Specifically, the Under
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, in consultation with
the DoD Office of the General Counsel, has determined in writing that
the meeting will be closed to the public because it will consider
matters covered by title 5 U.S.C., section 552b(c)(1). The
determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that
discussions throughout 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 DSB's findings and recommendations to the
Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for Research
and Engineering.
Written Statements: In accordance with Section 10(a)(3) of the FACA
and Title 41 CFR, Sections 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, interested
persons may submit a written statement for consideration by the DSB at
any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a
planned meeting. Individuals submitting a written statement must submit
their statement to the DSB DFO provided above at any point; however, if
a written statement is not received at least three calendar days prior
to the meeting, which is the subject of this notice, then it may not be
provided to or considered by the DSB until a later date.
Dated: July 11, 2022.
Kayyonne T. Marston,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
