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

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 Monday, September 11 at 8:30 a.m.
with administrative remarks from Mr. Kevin Doxey, DFO and Executive
Director, and opening remarks and a classified overview of the 2023
Summer Study on Climate Change & Global Security to date from Dr. Eric
Evans, the DSB Chair. Next, the DSB members will meet as a group in a
plenary session to review the generated study briefing materials and
engage in classified discussion(s) regarding anticipating the global
stresses and possible conflict due to climate change. Following break,
the DSB members will meet in smaller breakout groups to review the
study briefing materials and engage in classified discussion regarding
anticipating the global stresses and possible conflict due to climate
change. The meeting will adjourn at 5:00 p.m.
On September 12 at 8:30 a.m., DSB members will meet in smaller
breakout groups to review the study briefing materials and engage in
classified discussion regarding anticipating the global stresses and
possible conflict due to climate change, with a break mid-day. The

On September 13 at 8:30 a.m., the meeting will begin with a plenary

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41
CFR 102-3.140 through 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 meeting.
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
[[Page 58569]]
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 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.
