DC 20301-3140, via email at [email protected], or via phone

Officer (DFO) Karen D.H. Saunders, Executive Director, Defense Science 
Board, 3140 Defense Pentagon, Room 3B888A, Washington, DC 20301, via 
email at [email protected], or via phone at (703) 571-0079.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Designated Federal Officer and the Department of Defense, the 
Defense Science Board was unable to provide public notification 
concerning it meeting of February 16, 2017, as required by 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.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (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 mission of the DSB is to provide independent advice and 
recommendations on matters relating to the DoD's scientific and 
technical enterprise. The objective of the meeting is to obtain, 
review, and evaluate classified information related to the DSB's 
mission. DSB membership will meet with DoD Leadership to discuss 
current and future national security challenges within the Department. 
This meeting will focus on the new administration's guidance and 
directives related to nuclear deterrence, countering anti-access 
systems with longer range and standoff capabilities, and survivable 
logistics. The DSB will host guest speakers from across the Department 
of Defense who will provide their perspective on the future of National 
Security under the new administration. The invited speakers are the 
Honorable Jim Mattis, Secretary of Defense; Honorable Robert Work, 
Deputy Secretary of Defense; General Paul Selva, Vice Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff; LtGen J. Kevin McLaughlin, Deputy Commander, 
U.S. Cyber Command; and Vice Admiral James Syring, Director, Missile 
Defense Agency. Additionally, Mr. Michael Walker from the Defense 
Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will present an overview of 
the 2016 DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge competition.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.155, 
the DoD has determined that the DSB meeting 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 they will consider matters covered by 5 
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). 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 information that it cannot reasonably 
be segregated into separate discussions without defeating the 
effectiveness and meaning of the overall meeting. To permit the meeting 
to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such matters and 
would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB's findings and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the USD(AT&L).
    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 DSB at any time regarding its 
mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting. 
Individuals submitting a written statement must submit their statement 
to the DSB DFO provided in this notice at any point; however, if a 
written statement is not received at least 3 calendar days prior to the 
meeting, which is the subject of this notice, then it may not be 
provided to or considered by the DSB until the next meeting of the DSB. 
The DFO will review all submissions with the DSB Chair and ensure they 
are provided to members of the DSB before its final deliberations on 
February 16, 2017.

    Dated: February 6, 2017.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
