SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The mission of the Defense Science Board is

Defense. At this meeting, the Board will discuss the identification of 
leader competencies--joint, service, and generic--to include parsing 
their inter-relationship; the current PME practices in the Services and 
joint communities; expansion of the JPME; service and joint community 
plans to modify JPME practices; how the Service and Joint PME programs 
support one another; advances in learning approaches and methods from 
academia, the private sector and other government agencies; the ability 
to administer JPME education in a more efficient and effective manner; 
and the ability to rapidly incorporate lessons learned from current 
operations into joint and Service JPME curricula.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 41 CFR 102-
3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that these Defense 
Science Board Quarterly meetings will be closed to the public. 
Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology 
and Logistics), with the coordination of the DoD Office of General 
Counsel, has determined in writing that all sessions of these meetings 
will be closed to the public because they will be concerned throughout 
with matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and (4).
    Interested persons may submit a written statement for consideration 
by the Defense Science Board. Individuals submitting a written 
statement must submit their statement to the Designated Federal 
Official at the address detailed above, at any point; however, if a 
written statement is not received at least 10 calendar days prior to 
the meeting, which is the subject of this notice, then it may not be 
provided to or considered by the Defense Science Board. The Designated 
Federal Official will review all timely submissions with the Defense 
Science Board Chairperson, and ensure they are provided to members of 
the Defense Science Board before the meeting that is the subject of 
this notice.
