    Closing Remarks by Chair, Mr. Eric Clayton.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), the DoD has 
determined that the meeting shall be closed to the public. The 
USD(P&R), in consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has 
determined in writing that each of these meetings is likely to disclose 
trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a 
person and privileged or confidential.
    Due to negative impacts to pay for Federal Wage System employees 
that directly support national defense the 15-day notice period was 
unable to be met. The delay was unavoidable for the lead agency and 
additional delays would have increased the severity of negative 
implications for all agencies that employ Federal Wage System 
employees.
    Due to circumstances, beyond the control of the Designated Officer 
and the Department of Defense, the Department of Defense Wage Committee 
was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-
3.150(a) concerning its November 25, 2025, 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.

    Dated: January 29, 2026.
Stephanie J. Bost,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
