Determination to Close Meetings of the

Director’s Advisory Committee

The Director’s Advisory Committee

(DirAC) will hold meetings in

Albuquerque, New Mexico on October

27 and 28, 1997, and in Washington,

DC, on December 11 and 12, 1997.

The entire agenda of these meetings

will be devoted to specific national

security policy and arms control issues.

In accordance with section 10(d) of the

Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public

Law 92–463, 86 Stat 770 (1972)

(codified at 5 U.S.C. App 2 510(a)(1)

(1996)), it has been determined that

discussions during the meetings are

likely to disclose matters covered under

5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). Materials to be

discussed at the meetings have been

properly classified and are specifically

authorized under criteria established by

Executive Order 12958, 60 FR 19,825

(1995), to be kept secret in the interests

of national defense and foreign policy.

Therefore, in accordance with section

10(d) of the Federal Advisory

Committee Act, Public Law 92–463, 86

Stat 770 (1972) (codified at 5 U.S.C. App

2 510(a)(1) (1996)), I have determined

that, because of the need to protect the

secrecy of such national security

matters, the meetings should be closed

to the public.

This notice is being published less

than 15 days before the first meeting

day, in order to enable more Committee

members to attend.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

purpose is to provide interested persons

actions.

If the Committee approves the

proposed additions, all entities of the

Federal Government (except as

otherwise indicated) will be required to

procure the commodities and services

listed below from nonprofit agencies

employing persons who are blind or

have other severe disabilities. I certify

that the following action will not have

a significant impact on a substantial

number of small entities. The major

factors considered for this certification

were:

1. The action will not result in any

additional reporting, recordkeeping or

other compliance requirements for small

entities other than the small

organizations that will furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

2. The action does not appear to have

a severe economic impact on current

contractors for the commodities and

services.

3. The action will result in

authorizing small entities to furnish the

commodities and services to the

Government.

4. There are no known regulatory

alternatives which would accomplish

the objectives of the Javits-WagnerO’Day Act (41 U.S.C. 46–48c) in

connection with the commodities and

services proposed for addition to the

Procurement List. Comments on this

certification are invited. Commenters

should identify the statement(s)

services have been proposed for

addition to Procurement List for
