changes to the meeting agenda can be found on the website.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of
the Designated Federal Officer, the Defense Science Board was unable to
provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning
its March 20-21, 2024 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.
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 Sec. Sec. 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 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, March 20, 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, DSB members 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, March 21, 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 above 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 a
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.
Aaron T. Siegel,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
