    The Commission's April 17, 2007 decision to schedule a meeting for

impossible for the Commission to publish a Federal Register meeting 
notice for the 15 calendar days required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). 
Accordingly, the Committee Management Officer for the Department of 
Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15 calendar day 
notification requirement for this meeting.
