Federal Law Enforcement Training Center: Advisory Committee of 
the National Center for State, Local, and International Law Enforcement 
Training, Notice of Renewal

    Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee Act of October 6, 1972, 
(Pub. L. 92-463, as amended), and with the approval of the Secretary of 
the Treasury and the concurrence of the Office of Management and 
Budget, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) announces 
the renewal of the following Advisory Committee:
    Title: Advisory Committee to the National Center for State, Local, 
and International Law Enforcement Training.
    Purpose: The primary purpose of the Advisory Committee is to 
provide a forum for discussion and interchange between a broad cross-
section of representatives for the law enforcement community and 
related training institutions on training issues and needs. Considering 
that there are over 40,000 individual police departments throughout the 
country,the advice emanating from this exchange is very important to 
the Director of the FLETC and the Director of the National Center for 
State, Local, and International Law Enforcement Training (National 
Center). The Committee's advice is critical to ensuring that programs 
developed and offered by the National Center are meeting the unique and 
specialized needs of the State and local law enforcement community and 
enhancing

the networking between Federal, State, and local agencies. This 
networking is essential to an efficient and effective overall system.
    Although FLETC representatives participate in the training 
committee activities of the major police membership associates, no 
forum exists which provides the broad representation required to meet 
the needs of the National Center. The uniqueness of the program 
requires an appropriately selected and specifically dedicated group.
    The Committee advises the Director of the FLETC and the Director of 
the National Center on policy formulation, training needs, curriculum 
and course content, student admission and evaluation. There is no 
question that the Committee's input has been very instrumental in the 
successes enjoyed to this point. Resources have been committed only to 
those programs which meet unique needs of the State, local, and 
international law enforcement community. All programs have been well 
attended, and critiques and evaluations are quite positive. In 
addition, State, local, and international agencies have actively 
participated in the development and delivery of the programs by 
providing personnel as subject matter experts, course developers, and 
instructors. The programs offered have been developed only after a 
thorough screening process to ensure that the limited resources 
available are being committed most productively. The Committee's input 
has been invaluable on this decision process.
    The Committee does not duplicate functions being performed within 
Treasury or elsewhere in the Federal Government.
    Termination Date: The services of the Committee are expected to be 
needed for an indefinite period of time. No termination date has been 
established which is less than two years from the date the Advisory 
Committee's Charter is approved. The Advisory Committee's Charter is 
approved by signature of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for 
Management.
John C. Dooher,
Associate Director.
