What this law requires
The Department of Defense must close the Science, Technology, and Innovation Board meeting to the public on June 23-25, 2026, because discussions involve classified national security matters that cannot be reasonably segregated from unclassified material.
The Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering, in consultation with the DoW Office of General Counsel, must provide written determination that the STIB meeting closure is authorized under 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) based on classified national security concerns.
The Department of Defense must accept written statements from interested persons and ensure submission to the STIB DFO at the designated email address (osd.pentagon.ousd-r-e.mbx.stib-office@mail.mil).
Written statements intended for consideration at the June 23-25, 2026 meeting must be received at least three calendar days prior to the meeting (by June 20, 2026) or they will not be considered until a later date.
All submitted comments and written statements must be treated as public documents and made available for public inspection.
