Establishment of the Defense Legal 

Policy Board 

AGENCY: Department of Defense, DoD. 

ACTION: Establishment of Federal 

Advisory Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act of 

1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix), the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and 41 CFR 102– 

102–3.50(d) (agency authority), the 

Department of Defense gives notice it is 

establishing the Defense Legal Policy 

Board (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the 

Board’’). 

The Board is a discretionary federal 

advisory committee that shall provide 

the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense independent, 

informed advice, opinions, and 

recommendations concerning matters 

referred to the Board relating to legal 

and related legal policy matters within 

the Department of Defense. 

The Board, at the direction of the 

Secretary of Defense, the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, or the General 

Counsel of the Department of Defense, 

and according to DoD policy, shall 

examine and advise on legal and related 

legal policy matters within DoD, the 

achievement of DoD policy goals 

through legislation and regulations, and 

other assigned matters. In carrying out 

its duties, the Board shall consider, as 

appropriate: 

a. Issues and policies relating to legal and 

related matters; 

b. The interplay between laws and 

regulations, on the one hand, and the 

achievement of policy goals, on the other; 

c. Identifying and evaluating the process 

for compliance with such laws and 

regulations; 

d. Proposing necessary revisions to the 

Department’s policy goals, and to laws, 

regulations or procedures intended to 

achieve such goals; and 

e. Any other research and analysis of topics 

raised by the Secretary of Defense, the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense, or the General 

Counsel of the Department of Defense. 

The Secretary of Defense, the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, or the General 

Counsel of the Department of Defense 

may act upon the Board’s advice and 

recommendations. The Board shall be 

composed of not more than 15 members, 

who have distinguished backgrounds in 

law, investigations, military command, 

governmental organizations, or related 

fields. 

Board members appointed by the 

Secretary of Defense, who are not fullmstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

20796 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2012 / Notices 

time or permanent part-time federal 

officers or employees, shall be 

appointed to serve as experts and 

consultants under the authority of 5 

U.S.C. 3109, and to serve as special 

government employees. 

Board members, with the approval of 

the Secretary of Defense, may serve a 

term of service on the Board of two 

years; however, no member, unless 

authorized by the Secretary of Defense, 

shall serve more than two consecutive 

terms of service on the Board. 

Regardless of the individual’s approved 

term of service, all appointments to the 

Board shall be renewed on an annual 

basis. 

The Secretary of Defense shall select 

and appoint the Board’s chairperson 

from the total membership. With the 

exception of travel and per diem for 

official travel, Board members shall 

serve without compensation. 

Board members are appointed to 

provide advice on behalf of the 

government on the basis of their best 

judgment without representing any 

particular point of view and in a manner 

that is free from conflict of interest. 

The Chairpersons of the Defense 

Business Board, the Defense Health 

Board, the Defense Policy Board, and 

the Defense Science Board shall serve as 

non-voting ex officio members of the 

Board. These ex officio appointments do 

not count toward the Board’s total 

membership. The Department, when 

necessary, and consistent with the 

Board’s mission and DoD policies and 

procedures, may establish 

subcommittees, task groups, or working 

groups deemed necessary to support the 

Board. 

These subcommittees, task groups, or 

working groups shall operate under the 

provisions of the FACA, the 

Government in the Sunshine Act of 

1976, other governing Federal statutes 

and regulations, and governing DoD 

policies and procedures, including 41 

CFR 102–3.35 and DoD Instruction 

5105.04, sections E2.22, E3.2.2, and 

E3.12. 

Such subcommittees, task groups, or 

working groups shall not work 

independently of the chartered Board, 

and shall report all their 

recommendations and advice to the 

Board for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees have no 

authority to make decisions on behalf of 

the chartered Board; nor can any 

subcommittee or its members update or 

report directly to the Department of 

Defense or any Federal officers or 

employees. 

All subcommittee members shall be 

appointed in the same manner as the 

Board members; that is, the Secretary of 

Defense shall appoint subcommittee 

members even if the member in 

question is already a Board member. 

Subcommittee members, with the 

approval of the Secretary of Defense, 

may serve a term of service on the 

subcommittee of two years; however, no 

member shall serve more than two 

consecutive terms of service on the 

subcommittee. 

Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time government 

employees, shall be appointed to serve 

as experts and consultants under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and to serve 

as special government employees, 

whose appointments must be renewed 

on an annual basis. With the exception 

of travel and per diem for official travel, 

subcommittee members shall serve 

without compensation.

of Defense. The estimated number of

to the membership for their 

consideration. Once the Board’s charter 

has been filed contact information for 

the Defense Legal Policy Board’s 

Designated Federal Officer can be 

obtained from the GSA’s FACA 

Database—https://www.fido.gov/ 

facadatabase/public.asp.

SUMMARY: The Secretary announces the 

annual updates to the ICR plan formula

Program, borrowers may choose to repay 

their loans (Direct Subsidized Loans, 

Direct Unsubsidized Loans, Direct PLUS 

Loans made to graduate or professional 

students, and Direct Consolidation

the repayment amount on the

to each loan. Each year, we adjust the 

formula for calculating a borrower’s ICR 

payment to reflect changes due to 

inflation. This notice contains the

2011, examples of how the calculation 

of the monthly ICR amount is 

performed, a constant multiplier chart
