DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE 

Office of the Secretary 

Renewal of Department of Defense 

Federal Advisory Committees 

AGENCY: DoD. 

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory 

Committee. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense 

(DoD) is publishing this notice to 

announce that it is renewing the charter 

for the Inland Waterways Users Board 

(‘‘the Board’’). 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim 

Freeman, Advisory Committee 

Management Officer for the Department 

of Defense, 703–692–5952. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

committee’s charter is being renewed 

under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 2251 

and in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 

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

and 41 CFR 102–3.50(a). The Board is a 

non-discretionary Federal advisory 

committee that shall provide the 

Secretary of Defense, through the 

Secretary of the Army and the Assistant 

Secretary of the Army (Civil Works), 

independent advice and 

recommendations on matters relating to 

construction and rehabilitation 

priorities and spending levels on the 

commercial navigation features and 

components of the U.S. inland 

waterways and inland harbors. 

According to 33 U.S.C. 2251(b), the 

Board shall file their recommendations 

with the Secretary of the Army and with 

Congress, annually. 

Board members, as determined by the 

DoD, shall be representative members 

and, under the provisions of 33 U.S.C. 

2251(a), the Board shall be composed of 

11 members. 

Based upon the Secretary of the 

Army’s recommendation, the Secretary 

of Defense shall invite primary 

commercial users and shippers of the 

inland and intra-coastal waterways to 

serve on the Board. Commercial users 

and shippers invited to serve on the 

Board shall designate an individual, 

subject to Secretary of Defense approval, 

to represent the organization’s interests. 

The DoD, shall ensure selections 

represent various regions of the country 

and a spectrum of the primary users and 

shippers utilizing the inland and intracoastal waterways for commercial 

purposes, when considering prospective 

users and shippers to be represented on 

the Board. Due consideration shall be 

given to assure a balance among the 

members based on the ton-mile 

shipments of the various categories of 

commodities shipped on inland and 

intra-coastal waterways. 

A primary user or shipper may be 

represented on the Board, at the request 

of the Secretary of the Army and with 

the approval of the Secretary of Defense, 

for a two-year term of service. A user or 

shipper may not be represented on the 

Board for more than two consecutive 

terms of service (four years), without 

prior approval from the Secretary of 

Defense. A user or shipper may be 

subsequently represented on the Board, 

but only after being off the Board for at 

least two years. In addition to the 

primary users and shippers invited by 

the Secretary of Defense, the Secretary 

of the Army shall designate, and the 

Secretaries of Agriculture, 

Transportation, and Commerce may 

each designate, a representative to act as 

an observer of the Board. These 

observers, who have no voting rights, 

shall each be a full-time or permanent 

part-time employee of his or her 

respective agency. 

Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 2251(a), the 

Secretary of the Army shall designate 

one Board member to serve as the 

Board’s Chairperson. With the exception 

of travel and per diem for official travel, 

all Board members shall serve without 

compensation. 

The DoD, when necessary and 

consistent with the Board’s mission and 

DoD policies and procedures, may 

establish subcommittees, task forces, 

and working groups 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 

Secretary of the Army, as the DoD 

Sponsor. All subcommittees, task forces, 

or working groups shall operate under 

the provisions of FACA, the Sunshine 

Act, other governing Federal statutes 

and regulations, and established DoD 

policies and procedures.
