DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of Department of Defense 

Federal Advisory Committees 

AGENCY: DoD. 

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory 

Committee. 

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of 10 

U.S.C 5024, 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 102–3.50(c), the Department 

of Defense gives notice that it is 

renewing the charter for the Naval 

Research Advisory Committee (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘the Committee’’). 

The Naval Research Advisory 

Committee, pursuant to 41 CFR 102– 

3.50(c), is a discretionary Federal 

advisory committee established to 

provide the Secretary of the Navy, the 

Chief of Naval Operations and the 

Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps, 

independent advice and 

recommendations on scientific, 

technical, and research and 

development matters confronting the 

U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. 

The Committee shall report to the 

Secretary of the Navy, through the 

Assistant Secretary of the Navy for 

Research, Development and 

Acquisitions. The Secretary of the Navy 

may act upon the Committee’s advice 

and recommendations. 

The Committee shall be comprised of 

no more than 15 members who are 

preeminent authorities in the fields of 

science, research, and development. 

Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 5024(a), one 

member of the Committee shall be from 

the field of medicine. 

Committee members appointed by the 

Secretary of Defense, who are not fulltime or permanent part-time Federal 

employees, shall be appointed to serve 

as experts and consultants under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109 and shall 

serve as special government employee 

members. With the exception of travel 

and per diem for official Committee 

related travel, Committee members shall 

serve without compensation. 

The Secretary of Defense may approve 

the appointment of Committee members 

for one to four year terms of service; 

however, no member, unless authorized 

by the Secretary of Defense, may serve 

more than two consecutive terms of 

service. This same term of service 

limitation also applies to any DoD 

authorized subcommittees. 

Each Committee member is appointed 

to provide advice on behalf of the 

government on the basis of his or her 

best judgment without representing any 

particular point of view and in a manner 

that is free from conflict of interest. 

The Department, when necessary, and 

consistent with the Committee’s mission 

and DoD policies and procedures, may 

establish subcommittees deemed 

necessary to support the Committee. 

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 the advisory 

committee’s sponsor. 

Such subcommittees shall not work 

independently of the chartered 

Committee, and shall report all their 

recommendations and advice to the 

Committee for full deliberation and 

discussion. Subcommittees have no 

authority to make decisions on behalf of 

the chartered Committee; nor can any
