SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.), the
Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102-3.140
and 102-3.150.
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Designated Federal
Officer, the Defense Innovation Board was unable to provide public
notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its October 17,
2022 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer
for the
[[Page 62399]]
Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-
calendar day notification requirement.
Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DIB is to provide the
Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense independent
advice and strategic insights on the emerging technologies landscape,
adoption of commercial sector innovation best practices, and the impact
of disruptive and emerging technologies and their relevance to DoD. The
DIB focuses on (a) technology and capabilities, (b) practices and
operations, (c) people and culture, and (d) other research and analysis
of topics raised by the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of
Defense, or the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering
towards achieving National Defense goals. The objective of the meeting
is to obtain, review, and evaluate information related to the DIB's
mission.
Agenda: The DIB's meeting will begin in closed session on October
17, 2022 at 12 p.m. eastern time with opening remarks by Ms. Colleen
Laughlin, the Executive Director and Designated Federal Officer (DFO)
and Mr. Michael Bloomberg, the DIB Chair. The DIB will participate in
classified discussions on matters related to national defense. These
discussions will focus on senior DoD leader's defense innovation
priorities and challenges and the broader innovation and national
security landscape. The DFO will then adjourn the closed board meeting
at 3:45 p.m.
The DFO will reconvene the DIB in an open meeting from 4 p.m. to 5
p.m., with opening remarks by the DFO and the DIB Chair. The DIB will
then do member introductions, followed by a discussion of DIB tasks and
mandate. The DFO will review comments submitted by the public; those
will be provided to the DIB Chair and Members in advance and will be
posted to the DIB website as part of the public record. The meeting
will conclude with closing remarks by the DIB Chair and adjournment of
the open meeting by the Designated Federal Officer at 5 p.m. The latest
version of the agenda will be available on the Board's website at:
<a href="https://innovation.defense.gov">https://innovation.defense.gov</a>.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, it is hereby determined that portions of the
October 17, 2022 meeting of the DIB will include classified information
and other matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly,
the meeting will be closed to the public on October 17, 2022 from 12
p.m. to 3:45 p.m. This determination was made in writing by the Under
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, in consultation with
the DoD Office of General Counsel, based on the consideration that it
is expected that discussions throughout this period will involve
classified matters of national security. 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 these portions of the meeting. To permit
these portions of the meeting to be open to the public would preclude
discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate
utility of the DIB's findings and recommendations to the Secretary of
Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, and the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering.
Pursuant to section 10(a)(1) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140, the
portion of the meeting on October 17, 2022 from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. is
open to the public virtually. Members of the public wishing to receive
