on scientific and technical matters as they affect the perceived needs 
of the Department of Defense. At these meetings, the Task Force will 
review and evaluate the Department's options for acquisition of third

Force and the Navy. They will also consider the state of technical 
maturity of all the concepts and pods available, as will as the realism 
of the schedules and costs in view of other service flight program 
software, aircraft integration, and service specific requirements.
    In accordance with Section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. II), it has been 
determined that these Defense Science Board meetings, concern matters 
listed in 5 U.S.C. Sec. 552b(c) (1), and that accordingly these 
meetings will be closed to the public.
    Due to critical mission requirements and the short timeframe to 
accomplish this review, there is insufficient time to provide timely 
notice required by Section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act and Subsection 101-6.1015(b) of the GSA Final Rule on Federal 
Advisory Committee Management, 41 CFR Part 101-6, which further 
requires publication at least 15 calendar days prior to the first 
meeting of the Task Force on January 14-18, 2001.
