SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The charter has evolved since the SAB's

charter with the current state of the SAB and NOAA, the renewal charter 
has been modified as follows: (1) The term of the Chairperson has been 
specified to be until the end of the selected member's term on the SAB. 
(2) Members whose terms on the SAB have expired may remain on at the 
specific request of the Under Secretary for a period of time not to 
exceed one year beyond the original end date of the final term. (3) 
Members of the SAB's task forces and working groups shall be appointed 
by the Under Secretary or his designee in accordance with applicable 
Department of Commerce appointment procedures for members of advisory 
committees.
