SUMMARY:
This
meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
Committee Act (FACA) (Title 5 United
States Code (U.S.C), Appendix), the
Government in the Sunshine Act (Title
5 U.S.C., Section 552b), and Title 41
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
Sections 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 DoD’s scientific and
technical enterprise. The objective of
the meeting is to obtain, review, and
evaluate classified information related
to the DSB’s mission. DSB membership
will meet to discuss the 2019 DSB
Summer Study on the Future of U.S
Military Superiority (‘‘the DSB Summer
Study’’).
Agenda: The DSB Summer Study
meeting will begin on March 20, 2019
at 8:00 a.m. with opening remarks by Lt.
Col. Milo Hyde, the Designated Federal
Officer, and Dr. Craig Fields, DSB
Chairman. Next, the DSB members will
meet in small groups to discuss
classified ways in which the DoD can
secure U.S. interests, manage escalation,
and deter and counter adversary
aggression, given a renewed great power
competition. Finally, the members of
the study will meet in a plenary session
to discuss classified ways in which the
DoD can secure U.S interests, manage
escalation, and deter and counter
adversary aggression, given a renewed
great power competition. The meeting
will adjourn at 5:00 p.m. On March 21,
2019, the members of the study will
meet in small groups beginning at 8:00
a.m. to discuss classified ways in which
the DoD can secure U.S. interests,
manage escalation, and deter and
counter adversary aggression, given a
renewed great power competition. Next,
the members of the study will meet in
a plenary session to discuss classified
ways in which the DoD can secure U.S.
interests, manage escalation, and deter
and counter adversary aggression, given
a renewed great power competition. The
meeting will adjourn at 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance
with section 10(d) of the FACA and
Title 41 CFR, Section 102–3.155, the
DoD has determined that the DSB
meeting will be closed to the public.
Specifically, the Under Secretary of
Defense (Research and Engineering), in
consultation with the DoD Office of
General Counsel, has determined in
writing that the meeting will be closed
to the public because it will consider
matters covered by Title 5 U.S.C.,
Section 552b(c)(1). 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
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 (Research and Engineering).
Written Statements: In accordance
with section 10(a)(3)of the FACA and
Title 41 CFR, Sections 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140, interested persons may
submit a written statement for
consideration by the DSB 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 DFO provided above at any
point; however, if a written statement is
not received at least three calendar days
prior to the meeting, which is the
subject of this notice, then it may not be
provided to or considered by the DSB
until a later date.

Withdrawal of the Notice of Intent To
Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement for the New Jersey Back
Bay Coastal Storm Risk Management
Feasibility Study
AGENCY:
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
DoD.
ACTION:
Notice of Intent; withdrawal.
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Philadelphia District,
Planning Division is notifying interested
parties that it has withdrawn the Notice
of Intent (NOI) to develop an EIS for the
proposed New Jersey Back Bay (NJBB)
Coastal Storm Risk Management (CSRM)
Feasibility Study. The original NOI to
Prepare an EIS was published in the
Federal Register on Wednesday,
December 27, 2017.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, Philadelphia District,
Environmental Resources Branch,
(CENAP–PL–E), 100 Penn Square East,
Wanamaker Building, Philadelphia, PA
19107–3390.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Questions regarding the withdrawal of
this NOI should be addressed to Mr.
Steven D. Allen, 215–656–6559, or
Steven.D.Allen@usace.army.mil.
On March
20, 2018, the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) and the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) issued an
OMB/CEQ Memorandum for Heads of
Federal Departments and Agencies
titled ‘‘One Federal Decision Framework
for the Environmental Review and
Authorization Process for Major
Infrastructure Projects under Executive
Order [E.O.] 13807.’’ Additionally,
twelve federal agencies, including
Department of the Army, signed a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
as an appendix to the OMB/CEQ
Memorandum. The MOU is titled
‘‘Memorandum of Understanding
Implementing One Federal Decision
Under Executive Order 13807’’ and was
effective on April 10, 2018. E.O. 13807
sets a goal for agencies by reducing the
time for completing environmental
reviews and authorization decisions to
an agency average of not more than two
years from publication of a NOI to
prepare an EIS.
Subsequent to the publication of the
NOI, the NJBB CSRM Feasibility Study
was granted an exemption from the
requirement to complete the feasibility
study within 3 years, as required in
Section 1001(a) of the Water Resources
Reform and Development Act of 2014.
This exemption was granted on October
31, 2018 on an interim basis, and allows
for an additional 17 months to complete
the Agency Decision Milestone.
Therefore, in order to align the revised
study schedule with E.O. 13807, it is
necessary to withdraw the existing NOI
to develop and re-scope a NEPA
coordination/review schedule with the
appropriate Federal and state resource
agencies that have statutory jurisdiction
over the review process for any action
being contemplated in the course of the
feasibility study and development of an
environmental impact statement. Public,
agency and stakeholder comments and
feedback will continue to be accepted
during the re-scoping of the NEPA
review schedule.
