Federal Officer (DFO), the DFO was unable to approve the Advisory 
Committee on Arlington National Cemetery's meeting agenda for the 
scheduled meeting of March 26, 2015, to ensure compliance with the 
requirements of 41 CFR 102-3.150(a). Accordingly, the Advisory

requirement.

National Cemetery is an independent Federal advisory committee 
chartered to provide the Secretary of the Army independent advice and 
recommendations on Arlington National Cemetery, including, but not 
limited to, cemetery administration, the erection of memorials at the 
cemetery, and master planning for the cemetery. The Secretary of the 
Army may act on the Committee's advice and recommendations.
    Proposed Agenda: The Committee will receive updates on major 
construction and expansion projects, sustainment planning and visitor 
enhancements. Additionally, the Committee will review a specific 
request for placement of a commemorative monument at Arlington National 
Cemetery to commemorate Vietnam Helicopter Pilots in accordance with 
the requirements of title 38 United States Code section 2409.
