Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 1009(d) and 41 CFR 102– 

3.155, the DoD has determined that this 

meeting shall be closed to the public. 

The Acting Under Secretary of Defense 

(Policy), in consultation with the DoD 

FACA Attorney, has determined in 

writing that this meeting be closed to 

the public because the discussions fall 

under the purview of 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) 

and are so inextricably intertwined with 

unclassified material that they cannot 

reasonably be segregated into separate 

discussions without disclosing 

classified material. 

Written Statements: In accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) and 41 CFR 

102–3.105(j) and 102–3.140(c), the 

public or interested organizations may 

submit written statements to the 

membership of the DPB at any time 

regarding its mission or in response to 

the stated agenda of a planned meeting. 

Written statements should be submitted 

to the DPB’s DFO, which is listed in this 

notice or can be obtained from the 

GSA’s FACA Database—http://

www.facadatabase.gov/. Written 

statements that do not pertain to a 

scheduled meeting of the DPB may be 

submitted at any time. However, if 

individual comments pertain to a 

specific topic being discussed at a 

planned meeting, then these statements 

must be submitted no later than five 

business days prior to the meeting in 

question. The DFO will review all 

submitted written statements and 

provide copies to all members.
