pinnipeds in the form of possible
behavior changes, and is not expected to
result in the injury or death of any
marine mammal. 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

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Defense Science Board was unable to
provide public notification concerning
its meeting on May 22 through 23, 2017,
of the Defense Science Board 2017
Summer Study Task Force on
Countering Anti-access Systems with
Longer Range and Standoff Capabilities,
as required by 41 CFR 102–3.150(a).
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 the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the
Government in the Sunshine Act of
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and
41 CFR 102–3.140 and 102–3.150.
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

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.
Individuals submitting a written
statement must submit their statement
to the DSB’s DFO—Ms. Karen D.H.
