address is Defense Business Board, 1155 Defense Pentagon, Room 5B1088A, 
Washington, DC 20301-1155. Website: http://dbb.defense.gov/.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of 
the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Designated Federal Officer, the 
Defense Business Board was unable to provide public notification 
required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its May 8, 2019 meeting of 
the Defense Business Board. 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.
    This meeting is being held under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the Government in 
the Sunshine Act (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: The mission of the Board is to examine and 
advise the Secretary of Defense on overall DoD management and 
governance. The Board provides independent advice which reflects an 
outside private sector perspective on proven and effective best 
business practices that can be applied to DoD.
    Agenda: The meeting will begin in a Closed Session where the Board 
will receive a classified briefing on 5G technology and a classified 
Indo-Pacific foreign area briefing. The meeting will then move to a 
Public Session where the Board will provide an update on current DBB 
activities; present, deliberate, and vote on its Defense Acquisition 
Industry-Government Exchange study; and provide an overview of the 
Board's support to DoD reform efforts.
    Meeting Agenda:

Closed Session
    7:20 a.m.-8:15 a.m.--(TS) 5G Technology Brief
    8:15 a.m.-9:45 a.m.--(TS) Indo-Pacific Foreign Area Brief
Public Session
10:00 a.m.-10:05 a.m.--Opening remarks--Board Designated Federal 
Officer
10:05 a.m.-10:20 a.m.--Update on Current Board Activities
10:20 a.m.-11:00 a.m.--DBB Study: ``Defense Acquisition Industry-
Government Exchange''
11:00 a.m.-11:30 a.m.--Overview of Board Support to DoD Reform Efforts
11:30 a.m.-Closing remarks--Board Designated Federal Officer

    Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with section 10(d) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the DoD has determined that the Board's meeting 
will be partially closed to the public. Specifically, the CMO, in 
consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in 
writing that a portion of the meeting will be closed to the public 
because it will consider classified information and other matters 
covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). The 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) determination 
is based on the consideration that the 5G technology and foreign area 
briefings will involve classified matters of national defense or 
foreign policy. Such classified material is so intertwined with the 
unclassified material that it cannot reasonably be segregated into 
separate discussions without disclosing secret or otherwise classified 
material.
    Pursuant to FACA and 41 CFR 102-3.140, that portion of the meeting 
from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. is open to the public. Public attendees 
requiring escort should arrive at the Pentagon Visitor Center (adjacent 
to the Pentagon Metro Entrance) with sufficient time to complete 
security screening no later than 9:15 a.m. on May 8, 2019. To complete 
security screening, come prepared to present two forms of 
identification one of which must be a pictured identification card.
    Written Statements: Written comments may be submitted to the 
Designated Federal Officer (DFO) via email to mailbox address: 
[email protected] in either Adobe 
Acrobat or Microsoft Word format. Please note that since the Board 
operates under the provisions of the FACA, all submitted comments and 
public presentations will be treated as public documents and will be 
made available for public inspection, including, but not limited to, 
being posted on the Board's website.

    Dated: May 7, 2019.
Aaron T. Siegel,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
