Exceptional Circumstances
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.150, the

exceptional circumstances: (i) The
review and clearance process for the

close the meeting, which is required
under 41 CFR 102–3.155, involved
administrative and timing limitations,
including in this instance the additional
delay resulting from the Labor Day
holiday; and (ii) due to preexisting
commitments and statutorilyestablished deadlines, delaying the
September 21, 2016 meeting would
make it substantially more difficult for

order to be kept secret in the interests
of national defense or foreign policy and
. . . in fact properly classified pursuant
to such Executive order.’’ The part of
