As such, the proposed project is not likely to adversely impact the availability of any marine mammal species or stocks that may otherwise be used for subsistence purposes. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Endangered Species Act (ESA) AGENCY: Threatened or endangered marine mammal species with confirmed occurrence in the project area include the Western North Pacific DPS and Mexico DPS of humpback whale, and the Western DPS Steller sea lion. The project area occurs within critical habitat for three major Steller sea lion haul-outs and one rookery. The three haul-outs (Old Man Rocks, Unalaska/ Cape Sedanka, and Akutan/Reef-Lava) are located between approximately 15 and 19 nautical miles from the project area. The closest rookery is Akutan/ Cape Morgan, which is about 19 nautical miles from the project area. The NMFS Alaska Regional Office Protected Resources Division issued a Biological Opinion on April 19, 2017, under Section 7 of the ESA, on the issuance of an IHA to the COU under section 101(a)(5)(D) of the MMPA by the NMFS Permits and Conservation Division. The Biological Opinion concluded that the action is not likely to jeopardize the continued existence of Western DPS Steller sea lions or the Mexico DPSs of humpback whales, and is not likely to destroy or adversely modify western DPS Steller sea lion critical habitat. National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with NOTICES NMFS prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) analyzing the potential impacts to marine mammals from the proposed action and subsequently signed a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). A copy of the EA and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is available upon request (see ADDRESSES). Dated: May 18, 2017. Donna S. Wieting, Director, Office of Protected Resources, National Marine Fisheries Service.

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.

Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DSB is to provide independent advice and recommendations on matters relating to the Department of Defense’s (DoD) scientific and technical enterprise. The objective of the Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force is to explore new defense systems and technologies that will enable cost effective power projection that relies on the use of longer stand-off distances than current capabilities. System components may be deployed on manned or unmanned platforms with a range of potential autonomous capabilities. Use of cost reducing technology and advanced production practices from defense and commercial industry may be a major part of the strategy for deploying adequate numbers of weapons. Agenda: This two-day session will focus on industry perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for DoD implementation. Day One briefings will include opening remarks and expectations for the twoday session from Dr. David Whelan and Mr. Mark Russell, task force co-chairs; a briefing on Raytheon perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for the DoD from Mr. William Kiczuk, The Raytheon Company; a briefing on Aerojet Rocketdyne perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for the DoD from Mr. Tyler Evans, Aerojet Rocketdyne; a briefing on Boeing perspectives regarding potential VerDate Sep<11>2014 21:15 May 22, 2017 Jkt 241001 future capabilities and architectures for the DoD from Mr. Kevin Bowcutt, Mr. Brian Tillotson, and Mr. David Bujold, The Boeing Company; and a briefing on Northrop Grumman perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for the DoD from Mr. Patrick Antkowiak, Northrop Grumman Corporation. Day Two activities will include a briefing on Lockheed Martin perspectives regarding potential future capabilities and architectures for the DoD by Mr. Richard Lewis, Lockheed Martin Corporation. The remainder of Day Two activities will be the Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force’s four-panel break-out sessions: Architecture; Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance; Basing, Delivery, and Weapons; and Command, Control, Communications, and Cyber. These panels will meet simultaneously to discuss topics to analyze in support of the study. Day Two will close with discussion of the four panels’ work. Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.155, the DoD has determined that the Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force meeting will be closed to the public. Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics), in consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meeting will be closed to the public because matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) will be considered. 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 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 Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. Written Statements: In accordance with section 10(a)(3) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140, interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration by the Long Range Effects 2017 Summer Study Task Force members at any time regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting.
