meetings of the 2016 DSB Summer Study Task Force on Capabilities for 
Constrained Military Operations scheduled for August 15 through August 
19, 2016; August 22 through August 24, 2016; August 25, 2016; and 
August 26, 2016, at the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center, 100 Academy 
Drive, Irvine, California. 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 for 
each meeting--August 15 through August 19, 2016; August 22 through 
August 24, 2016; August 25, 2016; and August 26, 2016.
    The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary 
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they 
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. The objective 
of the 2016 Summer Study on Capabilities for Constrained Military 
Operations is to assess the military planning, shaping, and operational 
activities that address potential threats to U.S. interests and strive 
to establish stability in critical regions of the world that do not 
rise to the level of full-scale military operations. Areas of 
consideration will include an assessment of current planning processes 
within Department of Defense (DoD) Policy, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
Combatant Commands, and the Intelligence Community with a focus on the 
period before significant hostilities begin.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-2.155, 
the DoD has determined that the DSB meetings will be closed to the 
public. Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics), in consultation with the DoD Office of 
General Counsel, has determined in writing that all sessions will be 
closed to the public because matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 
will be considered. 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 and non-proprietary 
information that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate 
discussions without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the 
overall meetings. To permit the meetings to be open to the public would 
preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly diminish the 
ultimate utility of the DSB's findings or recommendations to the 
Secretary of Defense and to the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics.
    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 Defense Science Board at any time 
regarding its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned 
meetings. Individuals submitting a written statement may submit their 
statement to the Designated Federal Official at the address detailed in 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT; at any point, however, if a written 
statement is not received by August 24, 2016, then it may not be 
provided to or considered by the Defense Science Board. The Designated 
Federal Official will review all submissions with the Defense Science 
Board Chairperson, and ensure they are provided to members of the 
Defense Science Board before its final deliberations on August 26, 
2016.

    Dated: August 17, 2016.
