BILLING CODE 3510–DS–S 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Review of Department of Defense 

Supported Federal Advisory 

Committees 

AGENCY: DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972, as amended (5 U.S.C., Appendix) 

and 41 CFR, parts 102–3 through 102–

3.185, the Department of Defense gives 

notice of changes to several existing 

DoD-Supporting Federal Advisory 

Committees. 

These changes are a result of the 

Department of Defense’s continuing 

efforts to improve its Federal Advisory 

Committee Management Program by 

streamlining the independent advice 

and recommendations being received by 

the Secretary of Defense and his senior 

advisors. Key to the Department of 

Defense’s efforts was the need to 

provide the Secretary of Defense and his 

senior advisors a strategic view of issues 

by establishing a foundation for cross 

communications and integrated 

thinking which is centrally funneled to 

the ultimate decision maker. 

The specific changes being made are: 

A. The Department of Defense 

establishes the Defense Health Board. 

This Federal Advisory Committee shall 

advise the Secretary of Defense, through 

the Under Secretary of Defense 

(Personnel and Readiness) and the 

Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health 

Affairs) on matters pertaining to 

operational programs, policy 

development, and research programs 

and requirements for the treatment and 

prevention of disease and injury, the 

promotion of health and delivery of 

health care services to Department of 

Defense beneficiaries. 

B. The Department of Defense 

disestablishes the following chartered 

Federal Advisory Committees and 

reestablishes their functions as 

subcommittees of the Defense Health 

Board: 

Armed Forces Epidemiological Board 

Board of Directors of Amputee Patient Care 

Program 

Scientific Advisory Board of the Armed 

Forces Institute of Pathology 

C. With the disestablishment of the 

Armed Forces Epidemiological Board, 

the Department of Defense also 

disestablishes the Department of 

Defense Mental Health Task Force as a 

subcommittee of the Armed Forces 

Epidmiological Board and reestablishes 

it as a non-chartered subcommittee of 

the Defense Health Board. The 

Department of Defense Mental Health 

Task Force, as a subcommittee of the 

Defense Health Board, shall comply 

with the provisions of Section 723 of 

Public Law 109–163. 

D. The Department of Defense 

disestablishes the following chartered 

Federal Advisory Committees and 

reestablishes their functions as 

subcommittees of the Defense Science 

Board: 

Joint Advisory Committee on Nuclear 

Weapons Surety 

DoD Advisory Group on Electronic Devices 

These committees and their 

subcommittees provide necessary and 

valuable independent advice to the 

Secretary of Defense and other senior 

Defense officials in their respective 

areas of expertise. They make important 

contributions to DoD efforts in research 

and development, education, and 

training, and various technical program 

areas. 

It is a continuing DoD policy to make 

every effort to achieve a balanced 

membership on all DoD advisory 

committees. Each committee is 

evaluated in terms of the functional 

disciplines, levels of experience, 

professional diversity, public and 

private association, and similar 

characteristics required to ensure a high 

degree of balance is obtained.
