Phone: (703) 767-4453. Fax: (703) 767-4206.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to difficulties beyond the control of 
the Designated Federal Officer, the Department of Defense was unable to 
finalize the meeting announcement for the scheduled meeting of the 
Threat Reduction Advisory Committee on April 21-22, 2015, to ensure 
compliance with 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). 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.
    Purpose of Meeting: This meeting is being held under the provisions 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (FACA) (5 U.S.C., 
Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 
U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.150. The TRAC will obtain, 
review and evaluate classified information related to the TRAC's 
mission to advise on technology security, combating weapons of mass 
destruction (CWMD), counterterrorism, and counterproliferation.
    Agenda: On Tuesday, April 21, the meeting will open with classified 
opening remarks from the TRAC Chairperson. The TRAC will then receive a 
classified intelligence briefing from the Defense Intelligence Agency 
and the Central Intelligence Agency focused on Russian actions and 
current events as related to weapons of mass destruction. Following the 
intelligence update, the TRAC will have a working lunch and the group 
will discuss classified WMD issues as related to North Korea. The TRAC 
will then discuss two current TRAC taskings, at the classified level. 
These taskings include recommended changes to the current DoD role in 
the Global Health Security Agenda (GHSA) using the DoD response to the 
Ebola crisis in West Africa and Nuclear Strategic Stability (NSS) in 
light of current world events. Following the current taskings, the TRAC 
will discuss, at the classified level, emerging issues facing the 
Defense Threat Reduction Agency and U.S. Strategic Command Center for 
Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction at the request of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. To 
conclude the day, the TRAC will deliberate on information received 
about the GHSA and NSS efforts.
    The TRAC will continue to meet on April 22, 2015. The TRAC 
Chairperson will summarize the previous day's information and discuss 
the way forward. Subsequently, the group will receive a classified 
brief from Ambassador Linton Brooks on Russian actions and implications 
of these actions on U.S./Russian future activities. Following 
Ambassador Brooks' presentation, the TRAC will

[[Page 19293]]

hear from experts on the situation in Ukraine, at the classified level. 
The TRAC will continue discussion over a working lunch where they will 
review the topics they intend to brief senior leaders at the Pentagon 
later that afternoon.
    The TRAC will then transition to the Pentagon where the members 
will provide the DoD senior leaders with an out brief from the meeting.
    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b and 41 CFR 102-
3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that the meeting of the 
TRAC on April 21-22, 2015, shall be closed to the public. The Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, in 
consultation with the DoD FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that 
the public interest requires all sessions of this meeting be closed to 
the public because the discussions and sharing of information will be 
concerned with classified information and matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 
552b(c)(1). Such classified matters are inextricably intertwined with 
the unclassified material and cannot reasonably be segregated into 
separate discussions without disclosing secret material.
