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

[[Page 22522]]

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: 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 DoD. This 
meeting will focus on updates on the new administration's directives as 
they relate to the 2017 summer studies on national leadership command 
capability and countering anti-access systems with longer range and 
standoff capabilities, as well as the new task forces on survivable 
logistics and advanced technology demonstrations.
    Agenda: Day one briefings will include opening remarks from Ms. 
Karen Saunders, Designated Federal Officer, Dr. Craig Fields, DSB 
Chairman, and Dr. Eric Evans, DSB Vice Chairman; a discussion about the 
Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) under the current 
administration's defense priorities with the Honorable Jim Mattis, 
Secretary of Defense; a briefing on U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) 
operations from General Hyten, Commander, USSTRATCOM; a briefing on the 
view and priorities of the Navy under the current administration from 
Vice Admiral James Foggo, Director, Navy Staff; a briefing on the 
operations and priorities of the Missile Defense Agency under the 
current administration from Vice Admiral James Syring, Director, 
Missile Defense Agency; a presentation on a DSB quick response 
structure to new defense technologies and issues from Dr. Anita Jones 
and Dr. Ken Gabriel, DSB members; a briefing on the future of the Air 
Force from General Goldfein, Chief of Staff, U.S. Air Force; remarks on 
the 2017 DSB Summer Study on National Leadership Command Capabilities 
(NLCC) from a DoD perspective by Dr. John Zangardi, Chief Information 
Officer, Department of Defense; and Dr. Miriam John and Mr. Robert 
Stein, DSB NLCC summer study co-chairs, will present the DSB 2017 
Summer Study framework on NLCC. Dr. Fields will provide closing remarks 
at the end of the day. Day Two briefings will include a briefing on the 
operations and priorities of the Army under the current administration 
from General Mark Milley, Chief of Staff, U.S. Army; a briefing on the 
operations of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) 
from Dr. Steve Walker, Acting Director, DARPA; a briefing on the 2016 
DARPA Cyber Challenge and the future of the Challenge from Mr. Mike 
Walker, Program Manager, DARPA Cyber Challenge; a briefing on the new 
Navy Strategic Plan and an update on the National Defense Authorization 
Act (NDAA) Section 901-A changes from Mr. Sean Stackley, Acting 
Secretary of the Navy; a discussion on the future of the Acquisition, 
Technology and Logistics (AT&L) component with Mr. James MacStravic, 
Performing the Duties of Under Secretary of Defense for AT&L; and Drs. 
Fields and Evans will provide closing remarks to provide any action 
items for DSB members to complete.
    Meeting Accessibility: 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 the meeting 
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 
that it cannot reasonably be segregated into separate discussions 
without defeating the effectiveness and meaning of the overall 
meetings. 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 Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 
Technology, and Logistics.
    Written Statements: 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 members 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 May 18, 2017.

    Dated: May 11, 2017.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
