SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the

(formerly the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C.
App.)), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 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 (DFO), 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 February 21-22, 2023 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.

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113-291), as modified
by section 537 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92), Congress tasked the DAC-IPAD to advise the
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-sixth public meeting held by the DAC-IPAD. On Day 1, the DAC-
IPAD will receive an overview of the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2023 and hear from representatives from the Military
Departments and Coast Guard trial defense organizations. The Committee
will receive public comment and then receive an update from the Special
Projects Subcommittee. On Day 2, the Committee will receive an update
on military sentencing, hear from former military judges, and receive
updates from the Policy Subcommittee and Case Review Subcommittee. The
Committee will close Day 2 with discussions and deliberations on DAC-
IPAD's annual report due March 30, 2023, and adjourn the meeting.
