at (703) 571-0084 or the Defense Science Board's Designated Federal 
Officer (DFO) Ms. Karen D.H. Saunders, Executive Director, Defense

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Designated Federal Officer and the Department of Defense, the 2017 
Defense Science Board Summer Study Task Force on Countering Anti-access 
Systems with Longer Range and Standoff Capabilities (``the Long Range 
Effects Summer Study Task Force'') was unable to provide public 
notification of its meetings on January 26-27, 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.
    These meetings are 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 Defense Science Board is to provide independent 
advice and recommendations on matters relating to the Department of 
Defense's (DoD) scientific and technical enterprise. The objective of 
the Long Range Effects Summer Study Task Force is to explore new 
defense systems and technology that will enable cost effective power 
projection that relies on the use of longer stand-off distances than 
current capabilities. System components may be deployed on manned or 
unmanned platforms with a range of potential autonomous capabilities. 
Use of cost reducing technology and advanced production practices from 
defense and commercial industry may be a major part of the strategy for 
deploying adequate numbers of weapons. The study should investigate and 
analyze all of these areas and recommend preferred system options. This 
two-day session will focus on providing general threat briefings, to 
include country briefings and respective threat system capabilities. 
United States capabilities will also be briefed by the Joint Staff and 
the military services. The organizations briefing include the Defense 
Intelligence Agency, Missile Defense Agency, U.S. Navy and U.S. Air 
Force. Additionally the DSB will present recently completed studies to 
include: Air Dominance, Next Generation Unmanned Undersea Systems and 
Ballistic Missile and Cruise Missile Defense.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-2.155, 
the DoD has determined that the Long Range Effects Summer Study Task 
Force 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 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 Long Range Effects Summer Study Task 
Force members 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's DFO--Ms. Karen D.H. 
Saunders, Executive Director, Defense Science Board, 3140 Defense 
Pentagon, Room 3B888A, Washington, DC 20301, via email at 
karen.d.saunders.civ@mail.mil or via phone at (703) 571-0079 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 Long Range 
Effects Summer Study Task Force. The DFO will review all submissions 
with the Long Range Effects Summer Study Task Force Co-Chairs and 
ensure they are provided to Long Range Effects Summer Study Task Force 
members prior to the end of the two-day meeting on January 27, 2017.

    Dated: January 18, 2017.
