The Commission's April 17, 2007 decision to schedule a meeting for May 3-4, 2007 and the delay in finalizing the meeting agenda made it impossible for the Commission to publish a Federal Register meeting notice for the 15 calendar days required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). Accordingly, the Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waives the 15 calendar day notification requirement for this meeting.
