Both CCM and GCM use a concatenation of the explicit IV (which is obviously not secret and allowed to be predictable) with a salt that is derived from the keying material. This concatenation forms the nonce which is input to the AEAD. RFC 4309 (CCM) says "The salt value need not be secret, but it MUST NOT be predictable prior to the beginning of the security association.” RFC 4106 (GCM) says "The salt SHOULD be unpredictable (i.e., chosen at random) before it is selected, but need not be secret.” The ChaCha20-Poly1305 for IPsec draft does the same thing, and in fact so does RFC 5288 (AES-GCM for TLS 1.2) So no, that salt (and by extension, the proposed 96-bit value) need not be secret, but it’s never transmitted. This also shows that there is good precedent for generating such a doesn’t-really-need-to-be-secret value from the key_block or KEYMAT.
