SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of

notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning its September 
21, 2022 meeting of the Defense Advisory Committee on Investigation, 
Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in the Armed Forces. 
Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the

calendar day notification requirement. This meeting is being held under 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine Act of 
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.140 and 102-3.150.
    Purpose of the Meeting: In section 546 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Pub. L. 113-291), as modified 
by section 537 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92), Congress tasked the DAC-IPAD to advise the 
Secretary of Defense on the investigation, prosecution, and defense of 
allegations of rape, forcible sodomy, sexual assault, and other sexual 
misconduct involving members of the Armed Forces. This will be the 
twenty-fourth public meeting held by the DAC-IPAD. The Committee will

Committee member, followed by a briefing related to two recent Advanced
