Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 11 / Friday, January 17, 2025 / Notices 5837 

adjournment of the open portion of the 

meeting by the DFO. 

The DIB will continue in a closed 

session from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

during which the DIB members will 

brief the SecDef on the findings and 

recommendations of their two current 

studies, and discuss classified matters 

relating to unmanned systems, scaling 

innovative processes and procedures, 

and approaches to strengthen how the 

Department engages with Industry to 

drive faster tech adoption. 

Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 

1009(a)(1) of the FACA and 41 CFR 

102–3.140 and 102–3.150, the open 

meeting will be accessible to the public 

virtually on January 13, 2025, 3:00 

p.m.–3:45 p.m. EST. Members of the 

public wishing to attend the meeting 

virtually will be able to access a link 

published on the DIB website the 

morning of the meeting. 

In accordance with 1009(d) of the 

FACA and 41 CFR 102–3.155, the DoD 

has determined that part of the DIB 

meeting will be closed to the public on 

January 13th, from 4:00 p.m. to 4:30 

p.m. Specifically, the DDIU as the DIB 

Sponsor, in consultation with the DoD 

Office of General Counsel, has 

determined in writing that this portion 

of the meeting will be closed to the 

public because the DIB will consider 

matters covered by 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1). 

The determination is based on the 

classified nature of discussions related 

to national security. 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 

meeting. To permit this portion of the 

meeting to be open to the public would 

preclude discussion of such matters and 

would greatly diminish the ultimate 

utility of the DIB’s findings and 

recommendations to the SecDef. 

Written Statements: Pursuant to 41 

CFR 102–3.150(6) and 102–3.140 and 

1009(a)(3) of the FACA, the public or 

interested organizations may submit 

written comments or statements to the 

DIB in response to the stated agenda of 

the meeting or regarding the DIB’s 

mission in general. Written comments 

or statements should be submitted to Dr. 

Marina Theodotou, the DFO, via email 

to osd.innovation@mail.mil. Comments 

or statements must include the author’s 

name, title or affiliation, address, and 

daytime phone number. The DFO must 

receive written comments or statements 

being submitted in response to the 

agenda set forth in this notice by 12:00 

p.m. on January 12, 2025, to be 

considered by the DIB. The DFO will 

review all timely submitted written 

comments or statements with the DIB 

Chair and ensure the comments are 

provided to all members before the 

meeting. Written comments or 

statements received after January 12th 

may not be provided to the DIB until its 

next scheduled meeting. Please note 

that all submitted comments and 

statements will be treated as public 

documents and will be made available 

for public inspection, including, but not 

limited to, being posted on the DIB’s 

website.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title; Associated Form; and OMB 

Number: Recruiting, Retaining, and 

Promoting Servicemembers who 

Identify as Hispanic or Latino/Latina; 

OMB Control Number 0704–RPSS. 

Type of Request: New. 

Number of Respondents: 2,140. 

Responses per Respondent: 1. 

Annual Responses: 2,140. 

Average Burden per Response: 36.17 

minutes. 

Annual Burden Hours: 1,290. 

Needs and Uses: Over the last several 

years, the DoD has been concerned 

about the force’s ethnic composition 

due to underrepresentation of Hispanic 

or Latino/Latina service members in the 

senior grades across the services. The 

Fiscal Year 2022 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA), Section 572, 

also requires a study focused on the 

recruitment, retention, and promotion of 

service members identifying as 

Hispanic. To address these items 

covered by the FY22 NDAA, OUSD 

(P&R) Office for Diversity, Equity, and 

Inclusion (ODEI) has contracted with 

CNA to conduct a study to identify and 

address gaps in DoD’s understanding of 

the recruitment, retention, and career 

progression of Hispanic service 

members; evaluate past efforts and 

initiatives by DoD and the services 

aimed at increasing Hispanic 

representation; and identify key lessons 

learned or best practices that should 

inform future initiatives. As part of this 

study, CNA will conduct servicespecific in-person and virtual focus 

groups with active-duty service 

members in the Marine Corps, Army, 

Navy, Air Force, and Space Force. The 

voluntary focus groups will inquire 

about focus group participants’ opinions 

and experiences based on their military 

careers. The purpose of the focus groups 

is to better understand the challenges 

that service members face in recruiting, 

retention, and promotion, especially for 

those who identify as Hispanic or 

Latino/Latina. 

Additionally, Florida International 

University, a subcontractor to CNA on 

this study, will conduct a survey among 

eligible members of the general 

Hispanic population who are registered 

to vote in the United States (U.S.), 

analyze the survey data, and produce a 

report detailing findings and 

recommendations for ODEI. The intent 

of the survey is to examine factors that 

influence the U.S. Hispanic 

population’s perceptions of military 

service in the U.S. Armed Services and 

to identify the root causes for the 

notable disparity in the recruitment, 

retention, and promotion of service 

members who identify as Hispanic. 

Participation in the survey will be 

voluntary. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

households. 

Frequency: Once. 

Respondent’s Obligation: Voluntary. 

DoD Clearance Officer: Mr. Reginald 

Lucas.
