functions vested in the Board and for no
other reason.

DoD, when necessary and consistent
with the Board’s mission and DoD policies and procedures, may establish subcommittees, task forces, or working groups to support the Board.

Establishment of subcommittees will be based upon a written determination, to include terms of reference, by the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary of Defense, or USD(P&R), as the Board’s Sponsor.

Such subcommittees shall not work independently of the Board, and shall report all of their recommendations and advice solely to the Board for full and open deliberation and discussion. Subcommittees, task forces, or working groups have no authority to make decisions and recommendations, verbally or in writing, on behalf of the Board. No subcommittee or any of its members can update or report, verbally or in writing, on behalf of the Board, directly to the DoD or any Federal officer or employee.

All subcommittee members must be appointed by the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary of Defense to a term of service of one-to-four years, with annual renewals, even if the member in question is already a member of the Board, and no subcommittee members
will serve more than two consecutive terms of service, unless authorized by the Secretary of Defense or Deputy Secretary of Defense. Subcommittee
members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal employees, will be appointed as experts or consultants pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 3.130(a), to serve as regular government employee (RGE) members. Subcommittee members, who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal employees, shall be appointed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee (SGE) members. With the exception of reimbursement of official travel and per diem related to the Board or its subcommittees,
subcommittee members will serve without compensation.

All subcommittees operate under the provisions of FACA, the Sunshine Act, governing Federal statutes and regulations, and established DoD policies and procedures.

The Board’s Designated Federal Officer (DFO) must be a full-time or permanent part-time DoD employee, appointed in accordance with established DoD policies and procedures.

The Board’s DFO is required to be in attendance at all meetings of the Board and any subcommittees for the entire duration of each and every meeting. However, in the absence of the Board’s DFO, a properly approved Alternate DFO, duly appointed to the Board according to established DoD policies and procedures, must attend the entire duration of all meetings of the Board

and its subcommittees.

The DFO, or the Alternate DFO, calls all meetings of the Board and its subcommittees; prepares and approves all meeting agendas; and adjourns any meeting when the DFO, or the Alternate DFO, determines adjournment to be in the public interest or required by governing regulations or DoD policies and procedures; and chairs meetings when directed to do so by the official to whom the Board reports.

data in the desired format. ED is soliciting comments on the proposed information collection request (ICR) that is described below. The Department of Education is especially interested in public comment addressing the following issues: (1) Is this collection necessary to the proper functions of the Department; (2) will this information be processed and used in a timely manner; (3) is the estimate of burden accurate; (4) how might the Department enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (5) how might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the respondents, including through the use of information technology. Please note

Title of Collection: Charter School Facilities National Questionnaire.

OMB Control Number: 1855–0024. Type of Review: An extension of an existing information collection.

Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.

Total Estimated Number of Annual Responses: 369.

Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,107.

Abstract: According to Part B section 5201 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, one of the established purposes of the Charter Schools Program at the U.S. Department of Education (ED) is to encourage ‘‘States to provide support to charter schools for facilities financing in an amount more nearly commensurate to the amount the States have typically provided for traditional public schools’’. To help achieve this purpose, the Charter School Program needs reliable data to
understand the current facilities landscape for charter schools. There have been discussions on the struggles of charter schools for equitable and adequate access to facilities and facilities financing, yet there were no official studies, reports, or analyses explicitly discussing the facility landscape of charter schools and the
similarities and differences between charter school and traditional public
school facilities. The Charter Schools Program, through the National Charter School Resource Center, administers a questionnaire conducted by the Colorado League of Charter Schools to gather data on charter schools facilities. This data helps to assess the true facilities challenges of the charter
schools and what actions ED and the SEAs must take to better financially support the facilities needs of quality
charter schools. ED would like to
continue to use and administer this questionnaire in additional states and compile the data from all states into a facilities database. ED plans to conduct this survey in approximately three to four states per year, depending on the
size of the state and local resources of the CSO to support the survey. This database will provide comprehensive
information about the facilities for
charter schools and the issues that charter schools face in trying to obtain adequate facilities. The League will produce a report and an analysis summarizing the findings per state.
