changes to the meeting agenda can be found on the website.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These meetings are 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 (commonly known as the
[[Page 35815]]
``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 Meetings: 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, June 26, 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, June
27, 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. On Wednesday, July 24, 2024, the meeting will begin 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, July
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 meetings will be
closed to the public. Specifically, the USD(R&E), in consultation with
the DoD Office of the General Counsel, has determined in writing that
the meetings will be closed to the public because they 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 meetings 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 USD(R&E).
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 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: April 26, 2024.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
