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 Sumer 

Study on the Future of U.S. Military 

Superiority (‘‘the Summer Study’’). 

Agenda: The DSB Summer Study 

meeting will begin on February 19, 2019 

at 8:00 a.m. with opening remarks by Lt. 

Col. Milo Hyde, the Designated Federal 

Officer, 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 February 

20, 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 5:00 p.m. 

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with section 10(d) of the FACA and title 

41 CFR, section 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 title 5 

U.S.C., section 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 

title 41 CFR, sections 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 Designated Federal Official 

(DFO) provided above 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: January 28, 2019.
