The most up-to-date changes to the meeting agenda can be found on the website. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of the Department of Defense and the Designated Federal Officer (DFO), the Defense Science Board was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102–3.150(a) concerning the meeting on February 13, 2020 of the Defense Science Board. 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) (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the Government in the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), 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 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 with DoD Leadership to discuss classified current and future national security challenges and priorities within the DoD. Agenda: The DSB Winter Quarterly Meeting will begin on February 13, 2020 jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 20:34 Feb 24, 2020 Jkt 250001 at 8:45 a.m. with opening remarks by Mr. Kevin Doxey, the DFO, and Dr. Craig Fields, DSB Chairman. The first presentation will be from Dr. Mark Rosker, the Director of DARPA’s Microsystems Technology Office, who will provide a classified brief on his view of technical defense challenges and priorities. Following lunch, Mr. James Baker, Director of the Office of Net Assessment, will provide a classified brief of his view of defense challenges and priorities. Next, Lieutenant General Jack Shanahan, Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, will provide a classified brief of his view of defense challenges and priorities. Finally, Dr. Michael Griffin, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, will provide a classified brief of his view of defense challenges and priorities. The meeting will adjourn at 4:00 p.m. Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 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 5 U.S.C. 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 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 41 CFR 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 in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 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 PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 provided to or considered by the DSB until a later date.

The Engineer Circular will be temporary in nature and will expire two years after the date of publication, providing USACE time to learn through implementation experience, identify clarifications or additional resources required, and to work with our partners in implementing the program. After two years, Engineer Circular 1165–2–218 will either be revised, rescinded, or converted to an Engineer Regulation, which does not expire. Questions to Shape Focus of Public Comment Review: The purpose of this review is to solicit feedback on clarity and understandability of the draft Engineer Circular; on clarity and appropriateness of roles and responsibilities related to the program; and on clarity of program objectives, requirements, and available support.
