AGENCY: DoD.

ACTION: Renewal of Federal Advisory Committee.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

[[Page 4285]]

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 National 
Intelligence University Board of Visitors (hereafter referred to as 
``the Board''). The Board was formerly known as the Board of Visitors 
for the National Defense Intelligence College. The National 
Intelligence University Board of Visitors, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-
3.50(d), is a discretionary Federal advisory committee established to 
provide the Secretary of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence and the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, 
advice and recommendations on matters relating to mission, policy, 
accreditation, faculty, student, facilities, curricula, educational 
methods, research, and administration of the National Intelligence 
University.
    The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency, may act upon the Board's 
advice and recommendations.
    The Board shall be comprised of no more than 12 members, who are 
distinguished members of the national intelligence community, defense, 
and academia. Board members shall be appointed by the Secretary of 
Defense, and their membership must be renewed by the Secretary of 
Defense on an annual basis.
    Board members appointed by the Secretary of Defense, who are not 
full-time 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 approval 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.
    With DoD approval, the Board is authorized to establish 
subcommittees, as necessary and consistent with its mission. These 
subcommittees shall operate under the provisions of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act of 1972, the Government in the Sunshine Act of 
1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b), and other governing Federal regulations.
    Such subcommittees shall not work independently of the chartered 
Board, and shall report all 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 
they report directly to the Department of Defense or any Federal 
officers or employees who are not Board members.
    Subcommittee members, who are not Board members, shall be appointed 
in the same manner as the Board members. Such individuals, if not full-
time or part-time government employees, 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.

Management Officer for the Department of Defense, (703) 692-5952.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board shall meet at the call of the 
Board's Designated Federal Officer, in consultation with the Board's 
Chairperson and the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. The 
estimated number of Board meetings is four per year.
    In addition, the Designated Federal Officer is required to be in 
attendance at all Board and subcommittee meetings for the entire 
duration of each and every meeting; however, in the absence of the 
Designated Federal Officer, the Alternate Designated Federal Officer 
shall attend the entire duration of the Board or subcommittee meeting.
    Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.105(j) and 102-3.140, the public or 
interested organizations may submit written statements to Defense 
Intelligence Agency Advisory Board's membership about the Board's 
mission and functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time 
or in response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of Defense 
Intelligence Agency Advisory Board.
    All written statements shall be submitted to the Designated Federal 
Officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency Advisory Board, and this 
individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to the 
membership for their consideration. Contact information for the Defense 
Intelligence Agency Advisory Board Designated Federal Officer can be 
obtained from the GSA's FACA Database--https://www.fido.gov/facadatabase/public.asp.
    The Designated Federal Officer, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.150, will 
announce planned meetings of the Defense Intelligence Agency Advisory 
Board. The Designated Federal Officer, at that time, may provide 
additional guidance on the submission of written statements that are in 
response to the stated agenda for the planned meeting in question.
