imported to the rest of the DoD. The
DFO will adjourn the closed session.
The Board will begin in closed session
on February 7 from 9:20 a.m. to 10:20
a.m. in Room M2 of the Pentagon
Library Conference Center. The DFO
will begin the closed session followed
by a welcome by Board Chair. The
Board will receive a classified
discussion on the ‘‘Replicator’’ Initiative
from Hon. Kathleen Hicks, Deputy
Secretary of Defense; Ms. Aditi Kumar,
Deputy Director for Strategy, Policy, and
National Security Partnerships at
Defense Innovation Unit; and Ms. Joy
Shanaberger, Senior Advisor to the
Deputy Secretary of Defense. This
discussion focuses on DoD’s initiative
on meeting critical warfighter needs at
speed and scale. The DFO will adjourn
the closed session. The Board will
reconvene in open session February 7
from 10:20 a.m. to 11:35 a.m. The DFO
will begin the public session followed
by a discussion on Supply Chain Risk
Management from Brigadier General
Stephanie Howard, U.S. Army Reserve,
Executive Director for Operational
Contract Support, Office of the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and
Sustainment. This segment will focus
on supply chain risk management in the
context of strategic competition,
including how DoD can access and
share information while protecting
intellectual property. The discussion
will focus on the experience of business
leaders in managing similar challenges
within large companies, and best
practices for evaluating risks. The DFO
will then adjourn the open session. The
latest version of the agenda will be
available on the DBBs website at:
https://dbb.dod.afpims.mil/Meetings/
Meeting-February-2024/.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance
with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102–
3.155, it is hereby determined that the
February 6–7 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

Abstract: The Department of
Education (the Department) is
requesting a new information collection,
1845–NEW, Foreign Institution
Reporting Requirements under the
CARES Act, be made available for full
clearance with public comment. Section
3510(a) of the CARES Act, Public Law
116–136 (March 27, 2020), authorized
the Secretary of Education (Secretary) to
permit a foreign institution, in the case
of a public health emergency, major
disaster or emergency, or national
emergency declared by the applicable
government authorities in the country in
which the foreign institution is located,
to provide any part of an otherwise
eligible program to be offered via
distance education for the duration of
such emergency or disaster and the
following payment period for purposes
of title IV of the Higher Education Act
of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070 et seq.).
Additionally, under section 3510(d) of
the CARES Act, the Secretary may allow
a foreign institution to enter into a
written arrangement with an institution
of higher education located in the
United States that participates in the
Federal Direct Loan Program under part
D of title IV of the Higher Education Act
of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1087a et seq.) for the
purpose of allowing a student of the
foreign institution who is a borrower of
a loan made under such part to take
courses from the institution of higher
education located in the United States.
The CARES Act requires foreign
institutions that use either type of
authority described above to report such
use to the Secretary. Institutions are
required to report use of either distance
education or written arrangements to
the Department no later than 30 days
after it begins offering coursework
online to Direct Loan recipients. The
Department must also collect specific
information from a school that requests
a waiver in order to determine if the
school is eligible to receive the waiver.
On May 12, 2020, Federal Student Aid,
an Office of the Department, notified
foreign institutions of the new authority
and requested that any foreign
institution who wished to utilize this
new authority to respond with
information specified in the email. This

information collection was discontinued
following the discontinuation of the
national COVID–19 emergency status.
However, due to other global situations
we are now requesting a new collection
to allow for the on-going use of the
CARES Act waiver.

National Nuclear Security

Record of Decision for the Final SiteWide Environmental Impact Statement
for Continued Operation of the

Laboratory
National Nuclear Security
Administration, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Record of decision.
AGENCY:
The National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), a
semi-autonomous agency within the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is
issuing this Record of Decision (ROD)
for the Final Site-Wide Environmental
Impact Statement (SWEIS) for
Continued Operation of the Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL)
in California (Final LLNL SWEIS) (DOE/
EIS–0547). NNSA prepared the Final
LLNL SWEIS to analyze the potential
environmental impacts associated with
reasonable alternatives for continuing
LLNL operations and foreseeable new
and/or modified operations and
facilities for approximately the next 15
years. The SWEIS analyzes two
alternatives: No-Action Alternative and
Proposed Action. In this ROD, NNSA
announces its decision to implement the
Proposed Action.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For
further information on this ROD or the
LLNL SWEIS, contact: Thomas Grim,
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA) Document Manager, National
Nuclear Security Administration,
Livermore Field Office, P.O. Box 808,
Livermore, CA 94551; via email at

Background
The NNSA is responsible for meeting
the national security requirements
established by the President and
Congress to maintain and enhance the
safety, reliability, and performance of
the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile. The
continued operation of LLNL is critical
to NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship and
Management Program, to prevent the
spread and use of nuclear weapons
worldwide, and to many other areas that
may impact national security and global
stability (50 U.S.C. 2521).
LLNL is a federally funded research
and development center that conducts
research for the U.S. Government in
accordance with 48 CFR 35.017. LLNL
has been in existence since 1952,
employs approximately 8,000 people
(employees and contractors), and has a
current annual budget of approximately
$3 billion.
LLNL consists of two federally owned
sites: an 821-acre site in Livermore,
California (Livermore Site), and a 7,000acre experimental test site (Site 300)
southeast of the Livermore Site between
Livermore and Tracy, California. Most
LLNL operations are located at the
Livermore Site, which is situated about
50 miles east of San Francisco in
southeastern Alameda County. Site 300
is primarily a test site for high
explosives and non-nuclear weapons
components; it is located about 15 miles
southeast of Livermore in the hills of the
Diablo Range. LLNL’s primary
responsibility is ensuring the safety,
reliability, and performance of the
nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile.
However, LLNL’s mission is broader
than stockpile stewardship, as dangers
ranging from nuclear proliferation and
terrorism to biosecurity and climate
change threaten national security and
global stability. More than eighteen (18)
years have passed since the publication
of the 2005 Final Site-wide
Environmental Impact Statement for
Continued Operation of Lawrence
Livermore National Laboratory and
Supplemental Stockpile Stewardship
and Management Programmatic
Environmental Impact Statement (2005
LLNL SWEIS). Because of proposed
plans for new facilities, demolition of
older facilities, enhanced and
modernized site utilities projects, as
well as needed modifications/upgrades
of existing facilities to ensure ongoing
safe operations, NNSA determined that
it was appropriate to update the
previous 2005 LLNL SWEIS analysis.
Under the No-Action Alternative,
NNSA would continue current facility
operations throughout LLNL in support
of assigned missions. The No-Action
