AGENCY: Department of the Air Force, U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory 
Board.

ACTION: Meeting notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 
1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as amended), the Government in the Sunshine 
Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.150, the 
Department of Defense announces that the United States Air Force 
Scientific Advisory Board meeting will take place on Wednesday, April 
9th, 2008, from 8 a.m.-4:15 p.m., at the Offutt Air Force Base 
Dougherty Conference Center located at 906 SAC Blvd., Offutt AFB, 
Nebraska 68113.
    The purpose of the meeting is to hold the United States Air Force 
Scientific Advisory Board quarterly meeting to introduce information 
related to the Offutt Air Force Base 55th Wing and U.S. Strategic 
Command missions. This information will provide board members a 
valuable perspective of key missions currently being executed by the 
USAF and how they may relate to the on-going SAB studies: Airborne 
Tactical Laser Feasibility for Gunship Operations, Kinetic Precision 
Effects, Implications of Spectrum Management for the Air Force, and 
Defending and Operating in a Contested Cyber Domain.
    Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended, and 41 CFR 102-3.155, the 
Administrative Assistant of the Air Force, in consultation with the 
Office of the Air Force General Counsel, has determined in writing that 
the public interest requires that all sessions of the United States Air 
Force Scientific Advisory Board meeting be closed to the public because 
they will be concerned with classified information and matters covered 
by sections 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1), (4), and (9)(b).
    Any member of the public wishing to provide input to the United 
States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board should submit a written 
statement in accordance with 41 CFR 102-3.140(c) and section 10(a)(3) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the procedures described in 
this paragraph. Written statements can be submitted to the Designated 
Federal Officer at the address detailed below at any time. Statements 
being submitted in response to the agenda mentioned in this notice must 
be received by the Designated Federal Officer at the address listed 
below at least five calendar days prior to the meeting which is the 
subject of this notice. Written statements received after this date may 
not be provided to or considered by the United States Air Force 
Scientific Advisory Board until its next meeting. The Designated 
Federal Officer will review all timely submissions with the United 
States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board Chairperson and ensure they 
are provided to members of the United States Air Force Scientific 
Advisory Board before the meeting that is the subject of this notice.
