FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, Advisory Committee 
Management Officer for DoD, 703-692-5952.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAF SAB is being renewed in accordance 
with chapter 10 of title 5, U.S.C. (commonly known as the ``Federal 
Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA'') and 41 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) section 102-3.50(a). The charter and contact

    The DAF SAB provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary 
of Defense with independent advice and recommendations on matters 
supporting the DAF's scientific and technical enterprise and 
specifically on matters pertaining to (a) conducting studies on topics 
deemed critical by the Secretary of the Air Force; (b) recommending 
applications of technology to improve DAF capabilities; and (c) 
providing independent reviews of the quality and relevance of the DAF 
science and technology (S&T) programs. The DAF SAB is composed of no 
more than 20 members who are eminent authorities in the fields of 
defense and/or S&T. These members come from varied backgrounds such as 
science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition, logistics, public or 
private sector business management, Federally Funded Research and 
Development Centers, National Laboratories, and academia (universities 
and colleges).
    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 DAF SAB. No 
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may 
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DAF SAB, or 
serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
    DAF SAB members who are not full-time or permanent part-time 
Federal civilian officers or employees, or active-duty members of the 
Uniformed Services, are appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant 
to 5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government employee members. DAF 
SAB members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian 
officers or employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed Services 
are appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a), to serve as regular 
government employee members.
    All DAF SAB members are appointed to provide advice based on 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 DAF SAB-related travel and per diem, members 
serve without compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements about the DAF SAB's mission and functions. Written 
statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated 
agenda of planned meeting of the DAF SAB. All written statements shall 
be submitted to the DFO for the DAF SAB, and this individual will 
ensure that the written statements are provided to the membership for 
their consideration.
