of title 41, Code of Federal Regulations

provide a classified briefing on the
Defense Science Board Task Force to
Advise Implementation and
Prioritization of National Security
Innovation Activities’ findings and
recommendations followed by a DSB
(‘‘board’’) vote. Following a break, Dr.
Miriam John and Hon. Judith Miller will
provide a classified briefing on the
Defense Science Board Task Force on
Department of Defense Dependencies on
Critical Infrastructure’s findings and
recommendations followed by a board
vote. After a break, Mr. Jim Shields and
Dr. Daniel Hastings will provide a
classified briefing on the Defense
Science Board Task Force on Position
Navigation & Timing Control’s findings
and recommendations followed by a
board vote. This will be followed by Dr.
Eric Evans, who will provide classified
closing remarks regarding ongoing
studies. The meeting will adjourn at
3:45 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) 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 for Research and
Engineering, in consultation with the
DoD Office of the 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 meeting. 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 Research and Engineering.
Written Statements: In accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) 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

provided in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section at any
