Technology Policy, Executive Office of 

the President, The White House; and Dr. 

Eric S. Lander, President, Broad 

Institute of the Massachusetts Institute 

of Technology and Harvard. 

Proposed Schedule and Agenda: The 

President’s Council of Advisors on 

Science and Technology (PCAST) is 

scheduled to meet in open session on 

November 14, 2014, from 9 a.m. to 12 

p.m. 

Open Portion of Meeting: During this 

open meeting, PCAST is scheduled to 

discuss challenges and opportunities in 

space sciences, technology and 

innovation in support of national 

security, Ebola, and corporate 

investments in brain research and 

neurotechnologies. Additional

any changes that arise, will be posted at 

the PCAST Web site at: http:// 

whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast. 

Closed Portion of the Meeting: PCAST 

may hold a closed meeting of 

approximately one hour with the 

President on November 14, 2014, which 

must take place in the White House for 

the President’s scheduling convenience 

and to maintain Secret Service 

protection. This meeting will be closed 

to the public because such portion of 

the meeting is likely to disclose matters 

that are to be kept secret in the interest 

of national defense or foreign policy 

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

Public Comments: It is the policy of 

the PCAST to accept written public 

comments of any length, and to 

accommodate oral public comments 

whenever possible. The PCAST expects 

that public statements presented at its 

meetings will not be repetitive of 

previously submitted oral or written 

statements. 

The public comment period for this 

meeting will take place on November 

14, 2014, at a time specified in the 

meeting agenda posted on the PCAST 

Web site at http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/ 

pcast. This public comment period is 

designed only for substantive 

commentary on PCAST’s work, not for 

business marketing purposes. 

Oral Comments: To be considered for 

the public speaker list at the meeting, 

interested parties should register to 

speak at http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/ 

pcast, no later than 12 p.m. Eastern 

Time on November 6, 2014. Phone or 

email reservations will not be accepted. 

To accommodate as many speakers as 

possible, the time for public comments 

will be limited to two minutes per 

person, with a total public comment 

period of up to 15 minutes. If more 

speakers register than there is space 

available on the agenda, PCAST will 

randomly select speakers from among 

those who applied. Those not selected 

to present oral comments may always 

file written comments with the 

committee. Speakers are requested to 

bring at least 25 copies of their oral 

comments for distribution to the PCAST 

members. 

Written Comments: Although written 

comments are accepted continuously, 

written comments should be submitted 

to PCAST no later than 12 p.m. Eastern 

Time on November 6, 2014, so that the 

comments may be made available to the 

PCAST members prior to this meeting 

for their consideration. Information 

regarding how to submit comments and 

documents to PCAST is available at 

http://whitehouse.gov/ostp/pcast in the 

section entitled ‘‘Connect with PCAST.’’ 

Please note that because PCAST 

operates under the provisions of FACA, 

all public comments and/or 

presentations will be treated as public 

documents and will be made available 

for public inspection, including being 

posted on the PCAST Web site. 

Meeting Accommodations: 

Individuals requiring special 

accommodation to access this public
