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. 

Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and 

102–3.140, the public or interested 

organizations may submit written 

statements to Department of Defense 

Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care 

Board of Actuaries membership about 

the Board’s mission and functions. 

Written statements may be submitted at 

any time or in response to the stated 

agenda of planned meeting of the 

Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of 

Actuaries. 

All written statements shall be 

submitted to the DFO for the 

Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of 

Actuaries, and this individual will 

ensure that the written statements are 

provided to the membership for their 

consideration. Contact information for 

the Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of 

Actuaries DFO can be obtained from the 

GSA’s FACA Database—http://www.

facadatabase.gov/. 

The DFO, pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 

3.150, will announce planned meetings 

of the Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of 

Actuaries. The DFO, at that time, may 

provide additional guidance on the 

submission of written statements that 

are in response to the stated agenda for 

the planned meeting in question.

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 

that written comments received in 

response to this notice will be 

considered public records. 

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.
