SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting is being held under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (Title 5 United
States Code (U.S.C.), Appendix), the Government in the Sunshine Act
(Title 5 U.S.C., Section 552b), and Title 41 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), Sections 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the DSB is to provide
independent advice and recommendations on matters relating to the DoD's
scientific and technical enterprise. The objective of the meeting is to
obtain, review, and evaluate classified information related to the
DSB's mission. DSB membership will meet to discuss the 2019 DSB Summer
Study on the Future of U.S Military Superiority (``the DSB Summer
Study'').
Agenda: The DSB Summer Study meeting will begin on May 14, 2019 at
8:00 a.m. with opening remarks by Mr. Kevin Doxey, the Designated
Federal Officer (DFO), and Dr. Craig Fields, DSB Chairman. Next, the
DSB members will meet in small groups to discuss classified ways in
which the DoD can secure U.S. interests, manage escalation, and deter
and counter adversary aggression, given a renewed great power
competition. Finally, the members of the study will meet in a plenary
session to discuss classified ways in which the DoD can secure U.S
interests, manage escalation, and deter and counter adversary
aggression, given a renewed great power competition. The meeting will
adjourn at 5:00 p.m.
On May 15, 2019, the members of the study will meet in small groups
beginning at 8:00 a.m. to discuss classified ways in which the DoD can
secure U.S. interests, manage escalation, and deter and counter
adversary aggression, given a renewed great power competition. Next,
the members of the study will meet in a plenary session to discuss
classified ways in which the DoD can secure U.S. interests, manage
escalation, and deter and counter adversary aggression, given a renewed
great power competition. The meeting will adjourn at 3:00 p.m.
Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that the DSB meeting will
be closed to the public. Specifically, the Under Secretary of Defense
(Research and Engineering), in consultation with the DoD Office of
General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meeting will be
closed to the public because it will consider matters covered by 5
U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The determination is based on the consideration that
it is expected that discussions throughout will involve classified
matters of national security concern. Such classified material is so
intertwined with the unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be
segregated into separate discussions without defeating the
effectiveness and meaning of the overall meetings. To permit the
meeting to be open to the public would preclude discussion of such
matters and would greatly diminish the ultimate utility of the DSB's
findings and recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the
Under Secretary of Defense (Research and Engineering).
Written Statements: In accordance with Section 10(a)(3) of the FACA
and 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, interested persons may submit a
written statement for consideration by the DSB at any time regarding
its mission or in response to the stated agenda of a planned meeting.
Individuals submitting a written statement must submit their statement
to the DSB DFO provided in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
at any point; however, if a written statement is not received at least
three calendar days prior to the meeting, which is the subject of this
notice, then it may not be provided to or considered by the DSB until a
later date.
Dated: April 12, 2019.

Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
