The DFO will then adjourn the closed session. The latest version of the agenda will be available on the Board’s website at: https://dbb.dod.afpims.mil/Meetings/ Meeting-November-2023/. Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102– 3.155, it is hereby determined that the November 14–15 meeting of the Board will include classified information and other matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, portions of the meeting will be closed to the public. This determination is based on the consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout the closed portions will involve classified matters of national security. 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 these portions of the meeting. To permit these portions of the meeting to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the Board’s findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(1) and 41 CFR 102– 3.140, the portions of the meeting on November 14 from 11:25 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. EST and from 1:45 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. EST and on November 15, 2023 from 9 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. EST are open to the public virtually.
