SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of 5 United States Code (U.S.C.) chapter 10 (commonly known
as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA)''), 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)
(commonly known as the ``Government in the Sunshine Act''), and
sections 102-3.140 and 102-3.150 of title 41, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR).
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 2023 DSB Summer Study
on Climate Change and Global Security (``the DSB Summer Study'').
Agenda
The meeting will begin on Wednesday, June 21, 2023 at 8:15 a.m.
with administrative opening remarks from Mr. Kevin Doxey, DFO and
Executive Director, and a classified overview of the objectives of the
Summer Study from Dr. Eric Evans, the DSB Chair. Next, the DSB members
will meet in a plenary session to discuss classified strategies for
anticipating the global stresses and possible conflict due to climate
change. Following break, the DSB members will meet in a plenary session
to discuss classified strategies for anticipating the global stresses
and possible conflict due to climate change. Next, members will meet in
a breakout session to discuss classified strategies for anticipating
the global stresses and possible conflict due to climate change. The
meeting will adjourn at 5:00 p.m. On Thursday, June 22, 2023, the DSB
members will meet in a breakout session to discuss classified
strategies for anticipating the global stresses and possible conflict
due to climate change. Next, the DSB members will meet in a plenary
session to discuss classified strategies for anticipating the global
stresses and possible conflict due to climate change. Following break,
the DSB members will meet in a plenary session to discuss classified
strategies for anticipating the global stresses and possible conflict

Meeting Accessibility
In accordance with section 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 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 5 U.S.C.
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 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) and 41 CFR 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
[[Page 35855]]
planned meeting. Individuals submitting a written statement must submit
their statement to the DSB DFO at the email address provided in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 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: May 24, 2023.
