    Meeting Accessibility: In accordance with Section 10(d) of the FACA 
and 41 CFR 102-3.155, it is hereby determined that portions of the 
November 9-10, 2022 meeting of the Board will include classified 
information and other matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, 
accordingly, the meeting will be closed to the public on November 9, 
2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., from 3:00 p.m. to 4:10 p.m., and 
from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. This determination is based on the 
consideration that it is expected that discussions throughout these 
periods will involve classified matters of national security. 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 these portions of 
the meeting. To permit these portions of the meeting to be open to the 
public would preclude discussion of such matters and would greatly 
diminish the ultimate utility of the Board's findings and 
recommendations to the Secretary of Defense and to the Deputy Secretary 
of Defense. Pursuant to section 10(a)(1) of the FACA and 41 CFR 102-
3.140, the portion of the meeting on November 10, 2022 from 8:30 a.m. 
to 12:35 p.m. is open to the public. Persons desiring to attend the

public session are required to register. To attend the public session 
submit your name, affiliation/organization, telephone number, and email 
contact information to the Board at [email protected]. Requests to attend the public session must be 
received no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, November 7, 2022. Upon 
receipt of this information, the Board will provide further 
instructions for telephonically attending the meeting.
    Written Comments and Statements: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) 
and 102-3.140 and section 10(a)(3) of the FACA, the public or 
interested organizations may submit written comments or statements to 
the Board in response to the stated agenda of the meeting or regarding 
the Board's mission in general. Written comments or statements should 
be submitted to Ms. Jennifer Hill, the DFO, via electronic mail (the 
preferred mode of submission) at the address listed in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section. Each page of the comment or statement must 
include the author's name, title or affiliation, address, and daytime 
phone number. The DFO must receive written comments or statements 
submitted in response to the agenda set forth in this notice by 
Wednesday, November 2, 2022 to be considered by the Board. The DFO will 
review all timely submitted written comments or statements with the 
Board Chair, and ensure the comments are provided to all members of the 
Board before the meeting. Written comments or statements received after 
this date may not be provided to the Board until its next scheduled 
meeting. Please note that all submitted comments and statements will be 
treated as public documents and will be made available for public
