U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory 

Board; Notice of Meeting 

AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, 

U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory 

Board. 

ACTION: Meeting notice. 

SUMMARY: Due to difficulties, beyond the 

control of the U.S. Air Force Scientific 

Advisory Board (SAB) or its Designated 

Federal Officer, the Board must meet no 

later than November 2, 2011 to 

deliberate on recent events impacting 

upon one of the Board’s current tasks 

from the Secretary of the Air Force. 

Since the Department of the Air Force 

is unable to file a Federal Register 

notice announcing the meeting within 

the 15-calendar day period the Advisory 

Committee Management Officer for the 

Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 

CFR 102–3.150(b), waives the 15- 

calendar day notification requirement. 

Under the provisions of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act 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 102–3.150, the Department of 

Defense announces that the SAB 

meeting will take place November 2, 

2011 at 1180 Air Force Pentagon, Rm 

4E979, Washington, DC 20330, 

beginning at 1 p.m. (EDT). 

The purpose of this SAB meeting is to 

review the Aircraft Oxygen Generation 

quick-look study. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552b, as 

amended, and 41 CFR 102–3.155, the 

Administrative Assistant of the Air 

Force, in consultation with the Air 

Force General Counsel, has agreed that 

the public interest requires the United 

States Air Force Scientific Advisory 

Board meeting be closed to the public 

because it will involve discussions 

including trade secrets and matters 

covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4). 

Any member of the public wishing to 

provide input to the United States Air 

Force Scientific Advisory Board should 

submit a written statement in 

accordance with 41 CFR 102–3.140(c) 

and section 10(a)(3) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act and the 

procedures described in this paragraph. 

Written statements can be submitted to 

the Designated Federal Officer at the 

address detailed below at any time. 

Statements being submitted in response 

to the agenda mentioned in this notice 

will be accepted by the Designated 

Federal Officer at the fax number listed 

below up to two hours prior to the 

meeting which is the subject of this 

notice. Written statements received after 

this date may not be provided to or 

considered by the United States Air 

Force Scientific Advisory Board until its 

next meeting. The Designated Federal 

Officer will review all timely 

submissions with the United States Air 

Force Scientific Advisory Board 

Chairperson and ensure they are 

provided to members of the United 

States Air Force Scientific Advisory 

Board before the meeting that is the 

subject of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Exports of 

electricity from the United States to a 

foreign country are regulated by the 

Department of Energy (DOE) pursuant to 

sections 301(b) and 402(f) of the 

Department of Energy Organization Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7151(b), 7172(f)) and require 

authorization under section 202(e) of 

the FPA (16 U.S.C. 824a(e)). 

On January 17, 2007 the Department 

of Energy (DOE) issued Order No. EA– 

315, which authorized BP Energy to 

transmit electric energy from the United 

States to Canada as a power marketer for 

a five-year term using existing 

international transmission facilities. 

That authority will expire on January 

17, 2012. On October 31, 2011, BP 

Energy filed an application with DOE 

for renewal of the export authority 

contained in Order No. EA–315 for an 

additional five-year term. 

The electric energy that BP Energy 

proposes to export to Canada would be 

surplus energy purchased from electric 

utilities, Federal power marketing 

agencies, and other entities within the 

United States. The existing international 

transmission facilities to be utilized by 

BP Energy have previously been 

authorized by Presidential permits 

issued pursuant to Executive Order 

10485, as amended, and are appropriate 

for open access transmission by third 

parties.
