    Public's Accessibility to the Meeting: Pursuant to Federal statutes 
and regulations (5 U.S.C., Appendix, 5 U.S.C. 552b, and 41 CFR 102-

    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), the DoD has determined that the 
portion of the meeting from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. shall be closed to 
the public. The Assistant Deputy Chief Management Officer, in 
consultation with the Office of the DoD General Counsel, has determined 
in writing that this portion of the committee's meeting will be closed

10(a)(3) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 and 41 CFR 102-
