p.m. EST. 

Meeting Accessibility: In accordance 

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

3.155, the DoD has determined that the 

DSB meeting will be closed to the 

public. Specifically, the USD(R&E), in 

consultation with the DoD Office of the 

General Counsel, has determined in 

writing that the meeting will be closed 

to the public because it will consider 

matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 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 

USD(R&E). 

Written Statements: In accordance 

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

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 DFO at the email address 

provided in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section 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.
