fifty-eight existing MPAs. By the end of

other protected areas and marine

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of Department of Defense 

Federal Advisory Committees 

AGENCY: DoD. 

ACTION: Re-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– 

3.50(d), the Department of Defense gives 

notice that it is renewing the charter for 

the Board of Visitors, National Defense 

University (hereafter referred to as ‘‘the 

Board’’). 

The Board of Visitors, National 

Defense University, pursuant to 41 CFR 

102–3.50(d), is a discretionary Federal 

advisory committee that shall provide 

the Secretary of Defense through the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 

the President of the National Defense 

University, independent advice and 

recommendations on organizational 

management, curricula, methods of 

instruction, facilities and other matters 

of interest to the National Defense 

University. 

The Board shall report to the 

Secretary of Defense through the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 

the President of the National Defense 

University. The Chairman of the Joint 

Chiefs of Staff may act upon the Board’s 

advice and recommendations. 

The Board shall be comprised of no 

more than twenty members, who are 

eminent authorities in the field of 

national defense, academia, business, 

national security affairs, and the defense 

industry. The Under Secretary of 

Defense for Personnel and Readiness, 

the Department of Defense Chief 

Information Officer, and the Department 

of State Director General shall serve as 

ex-officio members of the Board (these 

ex-officio members have voting rights). 

Board members shall be appointed by 

the Secretary of Defense, with annual 

renewals. 

The Board Membership shall select 

the Board’s Chairperson and the CoChairperson from the total Board 

membership, and these individuals 

shall serve at the discretion of the 

Secretary of Defense, through the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. 

The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 

Staff may invite other distinguished 

Government officers to serve as nonvoting observers of the Board, and 

appoint consultants, with special 

expertise, to assist the Board on an ad 

hoc basis. If approved by the Secretary 

of Defense, these experts and 

consultants, appointed under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, shall have no 

voting rights on the Board or its 

subcommittees, shall not count toward 

the Board’s total membership, and shall 

not engage in Board deliberations. 

Board 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 to serve 

as special government employees. 

The Secretary of Defense may approve 

the appointment of Board 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. 

Regardless of the individual’s 

approved term of service, all 

appointments to the Board shall be 

renewed on an annual basis. In 

addition, they shall serve without 

compensation, except for travel and per 

diem for official Board-related travel. 

Each Board 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 Board’s mission and 

DoD policies and procedures may, 

establish subcommittees, task groups, or 

working groups deemed necessary 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 the 

advisory committee’s sponsor. 

These subcommittees shall not work 

independently of the chartered Board, 

and shall report all of 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 

subcommittees or any of its members 

update or report directly to the 

Department of Defense or any Federal 

officers or employees. 

Such 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 one to four years; 

however, no member shall serve more 

than two consecutive terms of service 

on the subcommittee. Subcommittee 

members, if not full-time or permanent 

part-time government employees, shall 

be appointed in the same manner as the 

Board members. Such individuals, shall 

be appointed to serve as experts and 

consultants under the authority of 5 

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

government employees, whose 

appointments must be renewed by the 

Secretary of Defense on an annual basis. 

With the exception of travel and per 

diem for official travel, subcommittee 

members shall serve without 

compensation. 

All subcommittees operate under the 

provisions of FACA, the Government in 

the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 

552b), governing Federal statutes and 

regulations, and governing DoD 

policies/procedures.
