POLICY JUSTIFICATION 

Pakistan—GRC43M Cutters 

The Government of Pakistan has 

requested the purchase of 8 43-meter 

Global Response Cutters (GRC43M). 

Each Cutter will be a mono-hull design

and other related elements of logistics 

and program support. The total 

estimated cost is $350 million. 

This proposed sale will contribute to 

the foreign policy and national security 

of the United States by helping to 

improve the security of a country vital 

to U.S. foreign policy and national 

security goals in South Asia. 

This sale will enhance Pakistan’s 

ability to enforce the rule of law over its 

coastal areas to safeguard seaborne 

energy corridors, deter the outbreak of 

piracy along the north Arabian Sea, and 

curtail the trafficking of narcotics and 

other illict goods. These vessels provide 

the Pakistan Navy with the capability 

for medium to long endurance coverage 

of its 660 miles of coastline. Pakistan 

will have no difficulty absorbing 

GRC43M Cutters into its armed forces. 

This sale will not alter the basic 

military balance in the region. 

The principal contractor will be WSY, 

Inc. in Port Angeles, Washington. There 

are no known offset agreements 

proposed in conjunction with this 

potential sale. 

Implementation of this proposed sale 

will require multiple trips by U.S.

representatives to participate in program 

and technical reviews plus training and 

maintenance support in country, on a 

short-term temporary basis, for a period 

of no more than 60 months or until the 

last Cutter is delivered to Pakistan and 

integrated into their operating forces. 

There will be no adverse impact on 

U.S. defense readiness as a result of this 

proposed sale.

BILLING CODE 5001–06–P 

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 is 

publishing this notice to announce that 

it is renewing the charter for the 

Department of Defense Wage Committee 

(‘‘the Committee’’). 

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 

pursuant to 5 CFR part 532, Federal 

Wage System (Pub. L. 92–392), 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(c), established the 

Committee. 

The Committee is a statutory Federal 

advisory committee that provides 

independent advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Defense or Deputy Secretary of Defense, 

through the Under Secretary of Defense 

for Personnel and Readiness 

(USD(P&R)), on matters relating to the 

conduct of wage surveys and the 

establishment of wage schedules for all 

appropriated fund and nonappropriated fund wage areas of bluecollar employees within DoD. 

The Committee reports to the 

Secretary of Defense or the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, through the 

USD(P&R). 

The USD(P&R), may act upon the 

Committee’s advice and 

recommendations. 

The Committee, in accordance with 5 

CFR 532.227, will be composed of seven 

members—a chair and six additional 

members. The Secretary of Defense or 

the Deputy Secretary of Defense selects 

the Committee’s chair. 

Committee members are appointed by 

the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense and their 

appointments will be renewed on an 

annual basis. Committee members who 

are not full-time or permanent part-time 

Federal employees are appointed as 

experts or consultants under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as 

special government employee (SGE) 

members. Committee members who are 

full-time or permanent part-time Federal 

employees are appointed pursuant to 41 

CFR 102–3.130(a) to serve as regular 

government employee (RGE) members. 

Committee members, as determined by 

the Secretary of Defense or Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, serve a term of 

service of one-to-four years. No member 

may serve more than two consecutive 

terms of service without written 

approval by the Secretary of Defense or 

Deputy Secretary of Defense. This same 

term of service limitation also applies to 

any authorized DoD subcommittees. 

Committee members serve without 

compensation except for reimbursement 

of travel and per diem as it pertains to 

official Committee business. 

All members of the Committee are 

appointed to provide advice on the basis 

of their best judgment with representing 

any particular point of view and in a 

manner that is free from conflict of 

interest. 

DoD, when necessary and consistent 

with the Committee’s mission and DoD 

policies and procedures, may establish 

subcommittees, task forces, or working 

groups to support the Committee. 

Establishment of subcommittees is 

based upon a written determination, to 

include terms of reference, by the 

Secretary of Defense, the Deputy 

Secretary of Defense, or USD(P&R), as 

the Committee’s sponsor. 

Such subcommittees will not work 

independently of the Committee and 

must report all of their 

recommendations and advice solely to 

the Committee for full and open 

deliberation, discussion, and voting. 

Subcommittees, task forces, or working 

groups have no authority to make 

decisions and recommendations, 

verbally or in writing, on behalf of the 

Committee. No subcommittee or any of 

its members can update or report, 

verbally or in writing, on behalf of the 

Committee, directly to the DoD or any 

Federal officer or employee. 

The Secretary of Defense or the 

Deputy Secretary of Defense will 

appoint subcommittee members to a 

term of service of one-to-four years, with 

annual renewals, even if the member in 

question is already a member of the 

Committee. Subcommittee members 

will not serve more than two 

consecutive terms of service unless 

authorized by the Secretary of Defense 

or the Deputy Secretary of Defense. 

Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or permanent part-time Federal 

employees, will be appointed as experts 

or consultants pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109
