Closing Remarks by Chair, Mr. Eric Clayton.

Meeting Accessibility: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4), the DoD has determined that the meetings shall be closed to the public. The USD(P&R), in consultation with the DoD Office of General Counsel, has determined in writing that the meetings of January 6, 20, February 3, 17 and March 3, 2026, are likely to disclose trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and is privileged or confidential. There was no written determination for the December 9 or 16 meetings, however they were also closed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552b(c)(4) as they were likely to disclose trade secrets, and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and was privileged or confidential.

Written Statements: Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 1009(a)(3) and 41 CFR 102-3.140, interested persons may submit written statements to the DFO for the DoD Wage Committee at any time, whether after the meeting has already been held or prior to the meetings that have not been held. Written statements should be submitted to the DFO at the email or mailing address listed above in FOR FUTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. If statements pertain to a specific topic being discussed at a planned meeting, then these statements must be submitted no later than five (5) business days prior to the meeting in question. Written statements received after this date may not be provided to or considered by the DoD Wage Committee until its next meeting. The DFO will review all submitted written statements and provide copies to all the committee members before or after the meetings that are the subject of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to negative impacts to pay for Federal Wage System employees that directly support national defense the 15-day notice period was unable to be met for the December 9 and December 16 meetings. The delay was unavoidable for the lead agency and additional delays would have increased the severity of negative implications for all agencies that employ Federal Wage System employees. Due to these circumstances, the DoD Wage Committee was unable to provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150 (a). Accordingly, the Advisory Committee Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150(b), waived the 15-calendar day notification requirement.

Dated: March 10, 2026.
