Office of the Secretary


Federal Advisory Committee; Defense Science Board

AGENCY: Department of Defense (DoD).

ACTION: Notice of advisory committee meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board will meet in closed session on 
October 27-28, 2010, at the Pentagon, Arlington, VA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Debra Rose, Executive Officer, 
Defense Science Board, 3140 Defense Pentagon, Room 3B888A, Washington, 
DC 20301-3140, via e-mail at [email protected], or via phone at (703) 
571-0084.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The mission of the Defense Science Board 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 this meeting, the Board will discuss interim finding and 
recommendations resulting from ongoing Task Force activities. The Board 
will also discuss plans for future consideration of scientific and 
technical aspects of specific strategies, tactics, and policies as they 
may affect the U. S. national defense posture and homeland security.
    In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, Public Law No. 92-463, as amended (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and 41 CFR 
102-3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that the 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).
    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 (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT), 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.
    Due to internal DoD difficulties, beyond the control of the Defense 
Science Board or its Designated Federal Officer, the Government was 
unable to process the Federal Register notice for the October 27-28, 
2010 meeting of the Defense Science Board 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.

    Dated: October 15, 2010.
Mitchell S. Bryman,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
