SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
The National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2017, Public Law
114–328, 130 Stat. 2000 (2016), created
the National Commission on Military,
National, and Public Service (the
‘‘Commission’’) to ‘‘conduct a review of
the military selective service process
(commonly referred to as ‘the draft’)’’
and to ‘‘consider methods to increase
participation in military, national, and
public service in order to address
national security and other public
service needs of the Nation.’’ Public
Law 114–328, Subtitle F, Section 551.
To this end, Congress has specifically
directed the Commission to consider:
‘‘(1) the need for a military selective
service process, including the
continuing need for a mechanism to
draft large numbers of replacement
combat troops; (2) means by which to
foster a greater attitude and ethos of
service among United States youth,
including an increased propensity for
military service; (3) the feasibility and
advisability of modifying the military
selective service process in order to
obtain for military, national, and public
service individuals with skills (such as
medical, dental, and nursing skills,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:24 Feb 15, 2018
Jkt 244001
language skills, cyber skills, and
science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) skills) for which
the Nation has a critical need, without
regard to age or sex; and (4) the
feasibility and advisability of including
in the military selective service process,
as so modified, an eligibility or
entitlement for the receipt of one or
more Federal benefits (such as
educational benefits, subsidized or
secured student loans, grants or hiring
preferences) specified by the
Commission for purposes of the
review.’’ Id.
The Commission’s work is also
guided by a series of principles issued
by the President on April 3, 2017. See
House Doc 115–27, available at https://
www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CDOC115hdoc27/pdf/CDOC-115hdoc27.pdf
Those principles addressed questions
raised by Congress that are similar to
those included below under ‘‘Specific
Topics to Address.’’
The Commission is required to
provide the President and Congress a
final report containing its findings and
recommendations regarding these
matters no later than March 2020. In
preparing the report, the Commission
must engage the American public,
hearing directly from them about these
topics. In particular, Congress has
directed the Commission to seek written
comments from the general public and
interested parties on matters of the
Commission’s review within seven
months of its establishment date, which
means April 19, 2018. This notice and
request for comments is intended to
meet that statutory requirement.
II. Other Engagement Opportunities
The Commission is also receiving
formal input from a number of Federal
agencies. The Commission’s enabling
statute requires the Secretary of Defense
to issue a preliminary report on the
current and future need for a centralized
registration system under the Military
Selective Service Act, and the
Comptroller General to perform a review
of the procedures used by the Defense
Department in evaluating the selective
service requirements. Additionally,
several Federal agencies are required
under the Commission’s enabling
statute to offer to the Commission
recommendations for the reform of the
military selective service process and
military, national, and public service in
connection with that process.
The Commission will hold a series of
public meetings on these topics as it
prepares its report for Congress and the
President. Information about those
meetings will be made available on the
PO 00000

Commission’s website, https://
www.inspire2serve.gov.
III. Specific Topics to Address
The Commission would welcome
comments on any of the specific topics
for which Congress has requested
Commission input. These are set forth
above under ‘‘Background.’’
In addition, the Commission would
welcome comments on any of the
following specific topics:
(1) Is a military draft or draft
contingency still a necessary component
of U.S. national security?
(2) Are modifications to the selective
service system needed?
(3) How can the United States
increase participation in military,
national, and public service by
individuals with skills critical to
address the national security and other
public service needs of the nation?
(4) What are the barriers to
participation in military, national, or
public service?
(5) Does service have inherent value,
and, if so, what is it?
(6) Is a mandatory service requirement
for all Americans necessary, valuable,
and feasible?
(7) How does the United States
increase the propensity for Americans,
particularly young Americans, to serve?
Dated: February 12, 2018.

Executive Director.

Please refer to the NSB website for additional information. You
will find any updated meeting information and schedule updates (time,
place, subject matter, or status of meeting) at https://www.nsf.gov/nsb/meetings/notices.jsp#sunshine.
The NSB will continue its program to provide some flexibility
around meeting times. After the first meeting of each day, actual
meeting start and end times will be allowed to vary by no more than 15
minutes in either direction. As an example, if a 10:00 meeting finishes
at 10:45, the meeting scheduled to begin at 11:00 may begin at 10:45
instead. Similarly, the 10:00 meeting may be allowed to run over by as
much as 15 minutes if the Chair decides the extra time is warranted.
The next meeting would start no later than 11:15. Arrive at the NSB
boardroom or check the webcast 15 minutes before the scheduled start
time of the meeting you wish to observe.
Chris Blair,
Executive Assistant, National Science Board Office.
