AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DoD.

ACTION: Notice of closed meetings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) will meet to 
discuss classified information from government organizations and 
proprietary information from commercial organizations. With the 
exception of participants' registration and introduction/welcoming 
remarks on Monday, June 18, 2007, all sessions of the meeting will be 
devoted to briefings, discussions and technical examination of 
information related to the tactical application of biometric 
technologies and Lightening the Combat Load of the Individual Marine. 
Discussions will focus on the exploitation of physical vulnerabilities 
and the tactical applications of known and emerging technologies. Each 
session will examine vulnerabilities of individuals and systems, and 
how the enemy is exploiting these vulnerabilities. The sessions will 
also include proprietary information regarding technology applications 
and systems under development in the private sector between competing 
companies. The sessions will also focus on the assessment of the 
emerging concepts of operations in each of these areas and evaluate 
appropriate options in such areas as: training, S&T funding allocation, 
technology monitoring, and progress assessments; and probable time 
frames for transformation and implementation. The sessions will also 
identify, review, and assess challenges with the utilization and 
fielding of various technology applications.

Friday, June 22, 2007, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Monday, June 25, 2007,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is provided in accordance with 
the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App. 2). 
With the exception of participants' registration and introduction/
welcoming remarks on Monday, June 18, all sessions of the meeting will 
be devoted to executive sessions that will include discussions and 
technical examination of information related to biometrics and 
lightening the load for the individual combat Marine. These briefings 
and discussions will contain proprietary information and classified 
information that is specifically authorized under criteria established 
by Executive Order to be kept Secret in the interest of national 
defense and are in fact properly classified pursuant to such Executive 
Order. The proprietary, classified and non-classified matters to be 
discussed are so inextricably intertwined as to preclude opening these 
sessions of the meeting. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. App. 2, section 
10(d), the Secretary of the Navy has determined in writing that the 
public interest requires that these sessions of the meetings be closed 
to the public because they will be concerned with matters listed in 5 
U.S.C. section 552b(c)(1) and (4).

    Dated: May 1, 2007.
M.A. Harvison,
Lieutenant Commander, Judge Advocate General's Corps, U.S. Navy, 
Federal Register Liaison Officer.
