    Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 
41 CFR 102-3.155, the Department of Defense has determined that the 
meeting shall be closed to the public. The Acting Under Secretary of 
Defense (Policy), in consultation with the Office of the Department of 
Defense FACA Attorney, has determined in writing that this meeting be 
closed to the public because the discussions fall under the purview of 
Title 5, United States Code, Section Sec.  552b(c)(1) and are so 
inextricably intertwined with unclassified material that they cannot 
reasonably be segregated into separate discussions without disclosing 
secret or classified material.
    Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, 
the public or interested organizations may submit written statements to 
the membership of the DPB at any time or in response to the stated 
agenda of a planned meeting. Written statements should be submitted to 
the DPB's Designated Federal Officer; the Designated Federal Officer's 
contact information can be obtained from the GSA's FACA Database--
https://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/public.asp. Written statements that 
do not pertain to a scheduled meeting of the DPB may be submitted at 
any time. However, if individual comments pertain to a specific topic 
being discussed at a planned meeting then these statements must be 
submitted no later than five business days prior to the meeting in 
question. The Designated Federal Officer will review all submitted 
written statements and provide copies to all committee members.

    Dated: May 21, 2012.
