DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 10667]


Notice of Intent To Re-Establish a Federal Advisory Committee

AGENCY: Department of State.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Re-Establish the Overseas Schools Advisory 
Council.

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

    Under the provisions of Public Law 92-463, Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, notice is hereby given that the Department intends to 
re-establish the Overseas School Advisory Council. The Department 
affirms that this advisory committee is necessary and in the public 
interest.
    Good cause: This committee's charter expired on January 27, 2019. 
The Department was unable to renew the committee's charter prior to the 
expiration date due to the recent lapse in federal government 
appropriations. Notices of re-establishment must appear in the Federal 
Register at least 15 calendar days before a charter is filed unless the 
Secretariat approves a shorter timeframe for good cause (41 CFR 102-
3.65(b)). The Department has requested, and the Secretariat has 
approved, publication of this notice concurrent with the filing of the 
charter due to the lapse in appropriations.
    Nature and Purpose: The Overseas Schools Advisory Council was 
established on March 1, 1967, by the Department of State to seek the 
advice of a selected group of American leaders from the business, 
foundation, and educational communities, on issues affecting the 
American-sponsored elementary and secondary schools abroad (hereinafter 
referred to as ``overseas schools'') that are assisted by the 
Department of State. The main objectives of the Council are:
    (a) To advise the Department of State regarding matters of policy 
and funding for the overseas schools.
    (b) To help the overseas schools become showcases for excellence in 
education.
    (c) To help make service abroad more attractive to American 
citizens who have school-age children, both in the business community 
and in Government.
    (d) To identify methods to mitigate risks to American private 
sector interests worldwide.
    For further information about this advisory committee, please 
contact: Thomas Shearer, Director of the Office of Overseas Schools, 
and Executive Secretary for the Committee at (202) 261-8201 or email: 
[email protected].

Thomas P. Shearer,
Director, Office of Overseas Schools, U.S. Department of State.
