changes to the meeting agenda can be found on the website.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.)
(commonly known as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``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. The DSB will discuss the 2024 DSB Summer Study on
Advanced Capabilities for Potential Future Conflict and classified
strategies for continued development of symmetric and asymmetric
capabilities.
Agenda: The meeting will begin on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 at 8
a.m. Ms. Betsy Kowalski, DSB DFO, and Dr. Eric Evans, DSB Chair, will
provide opening remarks and a classified overview of the objectives of
the 2024 Summer Study on Advanced Capabilities for Potential Future
Conflict. Next, the DSB will meet to discuss classified strategies that
best enable DoD's continued development of symmetric and asymmetric
capabilities that will characterize future conflicts, including
periodic breaks. The meeting will adjourn at 5 p.m. On Thursday, April
25, 2024, starting at 8 a.m., the DSB will continue to meet to discuss
classified strategies that best enable DoD's continued development of
symmetric and asymmetric capabilities that will characterize future
conflicts, including periodic breaks. The meeting will adjourn at 4
p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 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 Deputy 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 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.
Dated: March 27, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
