    The latest version of the agenda will be available on the Board's

    Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 
CFR 102-3.155, it is hereby determined that the November 14-15 meeting 
of the Board will include classified information and other matters 
covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, portions of the 
meeting will be closed to the public. This determination is based on 
the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout the 
closed portions 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 Board's findings and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 41 CFR 102-3.140, the 
portions of the meeting on November 14 from 11:25 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. 
EST and from 1:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. EST and on November 15, 2023 from 9 
a.m. to 10:45 a.m. EST are open to the public virtually. Persons 
desiring to attend the public sessions are required to register. To 
attend the public sessions, submit your name, affiliation/organization, 
telephone number, and email contact information to the Board at

on Friday, November 10, 2023. Upon receipt of this information, the 
Board will provide further instructions for virtually attending the

    Written Comments and Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) 
and 102-3.140 and 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) of the FACA, the public or 
interested organizations may submit written comments or statements to 
the Board in response to the stated agenda of the meeting or regarding 
the Board's mission in general. Written comments or statements should 
be submitted to Ms. Cara Allison Marshall, the DFO, via electronic mail

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. Each page of the comment or

comments or statements submitted in response to the agenda set forth in 
this notice by Friday, November 10, 2023, to be considered by the 
Board. The DFO will review all timely submitted written comments or 
statements with the Board Chair and ensure the comments are provided to 
all members of the Board before the meeting. Written comments or 
statements received after this date may not be provided to the Board 
until its next scheduled meeting. Please note that all submitted 
comments and statements will be treated as public documents and will be
