DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Defense Science Board
AGENCY: Department of Defense.
ACTION: Notice of advisory committee meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Defense Science Board Task Force on Corrosion Control will
meet in closed sessions on May 24-25, 2004, at Strategic Analysis Inc.,
3601 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA. The Task Force will address
corrosion control throughout a combat system's life cycle: Design,
construction, operation and maintenance.
The mission of the Defense Science Board is to advise the Secretary
of Defense and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology & Logistics on scientific and technical matters as they
affect the perceived needs of the Department of Defense. At this
meeting, the Task Force will assess current on-going corrosion control
efforts across the Department of Defense with particular attention to:
duplication of research efforts; application of current and future
technology which currently exists in one area to other areas (i.e.,
submarine applications which might translate to aircraft applications);
the current state of operator and maintenance personnel training with
regards to corrosion control and prevention; the current state of
maintenance processes with regards to corrosion control and prevention;
the incorporation of corrosion control and maintainability in current
acquisition programs (during the design and manufacturing stages); the
identity of unique environments important to National Security but with
little commercial application (e.g., nuclear weapons). The Task Force
will conduct an analysis of the findings generated and determine which
areas, if adequate resources were applied, would provide the most
significant advances in combat readiness. In addition, the Task Force
[[Page 18061]]
will assess best commercial practices and determine their applicability
to DoD needs.
In accordance with section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, Pub. L. 92-463, as amended 95 U.S.C. App. II), it has been
determined that this Defense Science Board Task Force meeting concerns
matters listed in 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(1) and that, accordingly, the
meeting will be closed to the public.
L.M. Bynum,
Alternate OSD Federal Register Liaison Officer, Department of Defense.
