that is the subject of this notice.
    President Obama, during the November 2010 NATO Meeting in Portugal, 
announced a new Strategic Concept that focuses the Alliance on 
ballistic missiles. The timing of the President's announcement was such 
that the Department of Defense could not include studies pertinent to 
the initiative in the October 20, 2010 Missile Defense Advisory 
Committee's FY11 Study's terms of reference. Due to the timing of the 
President's initiative and subsequent decision to include this matter 
on the Committee's FY11 Study's terms of reference and December 13th 
meeting agenda, the Department of Defense was unable to process the 
Federal Register notice for the Missile Defense Advisory Committee's 
December 13, 2010 meeting 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: December 8, 2010.
Morgan F. Park,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
