AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice of Advisory Committee meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board (DSB) Task Force on Missile Defense 
is tentatively scheduled to meet in closed session on April 29-30, 
2002; May 20-21, 2002; June 18-19, 2002; and July 15-16, 2002; at the

This Task Force will develop recommendations that help guide the 
ballistic missile defense system (BMDS) toward a fully integrated, 
layered defense capable of defeating ballistic missiles in any phase of 
their flight.
    The mission of the DSB is to advise the Secretary of Defense and 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology & Logistics 
on scientific and technical matters as they affect the perceived needs 
of the Department of Defense. At these meetings, the DSB Task Force 
will examine five areas: counter-countermeasures; boost phase 
technology; battle management and command, control, and communications; 
international cooperation; and the evolution of ballistic missile 
threats.
    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 DSB Task Force meetings concern matters listed in 
5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, these meetings will be 
closed to the public.

    Dated: March 21, 2002.
