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 Board of Visitors, 
Marine Corps University (``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 in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(d). The charter and 
contact information for the Board's Designated Federal Officer (DFO)

    The Board provides the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense with independent advice and recommendations on 
matters pertaining to the Marine Corps University. The Board shall be 
composed of at least 7 and not more than 11 members who must be eminent 
authorities in the fields of education, defense, management, economics, 
leadership, academia, national military strategy, or international 
affairs. Members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
officers or employees are appointed as experts or consultants pursuant 
to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee members. 
Members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or 
employees are appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a) to serve as 
regular government employee members. Each member is appointed to 
provide advice on behalf of the Government on the basis of their best 
judgment without representing any particular point of view and in a 
manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except for reimbursement 
of official Board-related travel and per diem, members serve without 
compensation. The DoD, as necessary and consistent with the Board's 
mission and DoD policies and procedures, may establish subcommittees, 
task forces, or working groups to support the Board, and all 
subcommittees must operate under the provisions of FACA and the 
Government in the Sunshine Act. Subcommittees will not work 
independently of the Board and must report all recommendations and 
advice solely to the Board for full deliberation and discussion. 
Subcommittees, task forces, or working groups have no authority to make 
decisions and recommendations, verbally or in writing, on behalf of the 
Board. No subcommittee or any of its members can update or report, 
verbally or in writing, directly to the DoD or any Federal officers or 
employees. The Board's DFO, pursuant to DoD policy, must be a full-time 
or permanent part-time DoD employee, and must be in attendance for the 
duration of each and every Board/subcommittee meeting. The public or 
interested organizations may submit written statements to the Board 
membership about the Board's mission and functions. Such statements may 
be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of planned 
Board meetings. All written statements must be submitted to the Board's 
DFO who will ensure the written statements are provided to the 
membership for their consideration.
