(commonly known as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA''),
5 U.S.C. 552b (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).
Due to circumstances beyond the control of the DFO and the DoD, the
Defense Policy Board was unable to provide public notification required
by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its June 26-27, 2024 meeting.
Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the DoD,
pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day
notification requirement.
Purpose of the Meeting: To obtain, review, and evaluate classified
information related to the DPB's mission to advise on: (a) issues
central to strategic DoD planning; (b) policy implications of U.S.
force structure and modernization on DoD's ability to execute U.S.
defense strategy; (c) U.S. regional defense policies; and (d) other
defense policy topics of special interest to the DoD, as determined by
the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the Under
Secretary of Defense for Policy.
Agenda: On June 26 and 27, 2024, the DPB will receive classified
briefings to evaluate DoD's readiness to execute a full or total
mobilization in a protracted high-intensity conflict. James Benkowski,
Designated Federal Office, will provide opening remarks; Ms. Amanda
Dory, Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, and Dr. Janine
Davidson, Chair of the Defense Policy Board, will welcome the DPB and
explain the meeting's key objectives; Ms. Madeline Mortelmans, Acting
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Strategy Plans and Capabilities, and
Ms. Rebecca Zimmerman, Acting Assistant Secretary of Defense for
Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, will discuss DoD's planning
for high-intensity protracted conflicts and associated mobilization
readiness requirements; HON Mr. Lloyd James Austin III, Secretary of
Defense, will provide a strategic overview of DoD's preparedness to
execute a large-scale mobilization during a protracted high-intensity
conflict; Ms. Shawn Skelly, Performing the Duties of the Deputy Under
Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, will provide a
briefing on DoD's approach to large-scale mobilization with a focus on
personnel; HON Dr. William LaPlante will discuss DoD's ability to
produce and sustain the materiel and equipment required by the Joint

National Guard, will discuss the requirements, plans, and policies for

conflict; Lieutenant General Dagvin Anderson, Director for Joint Force
Development, J7, will provide Joint Staff perspectives on DoD's

and Lieutenant General Patrick Matlock, Deputy Chief of Staff of the
Army for Operations, Plans, and Training, will provide Service
perspectives on large-scale mobilization planning and readiness;
Admiral Samuel Paparo, Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, will
discuss planning for, and expectations regarding, large-scale
mobilization during a protracted high-intensity conflict; Dr. Janine

deliberations on U.S. mobilization readiness. Day One will conclude.
Day Two will begin with Dr. Janine Davidson, the DPB Chair, leading the
DPB through discussions and deliberations on U.S. mobilization
readiness; the DPB will then provide its advice and recommendations to
Ms. Amanda Dory, Acting Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, after

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41
CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that this meeting shall be closed
to the public. The Acting Under Secretary of Defense (Policy), in
consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that
this meeting is closed to the public because the discussions fall under
the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and are so inextricably intertwined
with unclassified material that they cannot reasonably be segregated
into separate discussions without disclosing classified material.
Written Statements: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) and 41
CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140(c), the public or interested
organizations may submit written statements to the membership of the
DPB at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated
agenda of a planned meeting. Written statements should be submitted to
the DPB's DFO, who's information is listed in this notice in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section or can be obtained from the GSA's
FACA Database--<a href="http://www.facadatabase.gov/">http://www.facadatabase.gov/</a>. Written statements that do
not pertain to a scheduled meeting of the DPB may be submitted at any
time. However, if
[[Page 53407]]
individual comments pertain to a specific topic being discussed at a
planned meeting, then these statements must be submitted no later than
one business day prior to the meeting in question. The DFO will review
all submitted written statements and provide copies to all members.
Dated: June 20, 2024.
