    The DoN S&T Board is a discretionary Federal advisory committee 
established to provide independent advice and recommendations on 
matters relating to the Department of the Navy's (DoN) scientific,

business management functions. These matters include, but are not

problems facing the DoD in such areas as research, engineering, 
organizational structure and process, business and functional concepts, 
and manufacturing, and will ensure the identification of new 
technologies and new applications of technology in those areas to 
strengthen national security.
    The DoN S&T Board shall be composed of no more than 20 members who 
are prominent authorities in one or more of the following disciplines 
and fields: science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition, logistics, 
medicine, climate, and business management functions, as well as other 
matters of special interest to the DoN. Membership will consist of 
private and public leaders, fairly balanced to provide a diversity of 
background, experience, and thought in support of the DoN S&T Board 
mission.
    Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and 
procedures and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with annual 
renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the DoN S&T Board. 
No member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may 
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DoN S&T Board, 
or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
    DoN S&T Board members who are not full-time or permanent part-time 
Federal civilian officers or employees are appointed as experts or 
consultants, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government 
employee members. DoN S&T Board members who are full-time or permanent

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 DoN S&T Board-related travel and per diem, 
members serve without compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements about the DoN S&T Board mission and functions. Written 
statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated 
agenda of planned meetings of the DoN S&T Board. All written statements

their consideration.
