SUMMARY: The DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, DoD Advisory Committee
Management Officer, 703-692-5952.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DSB's charter is being amended in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.,

The DSB provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary of
Defense with independent advice on matters supporting the DoD's
scientific and technical enterprise. The DSB shall focus on matters
concerning science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition process, and
other topics of special interest to the Department in response
[[Page 5472]]
to specific tasks from the Secretary of Defense, the Deputy Secretary
of Defense (``the DoD Appointing Authority''), or the Under Secretary
of Defense (Research and Engineering) (USD(R&E)). The DSB is composed
of no more than 40 members who are eminent authorities in the fields of
science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition process, and other
matters of special interest to the DoD. Members will consist of
talented, innovative private sector leaders with a diversity of
background, experience, and thought in support of the DSB missions.
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 DSB. No
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DSB, or serve
on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
DSB 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. DSB 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 DSB 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 DSB-related travel and per diem, members serve without
compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements about the DSB's mission and functions. Written statements
may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of
planned meeting of the DSB. All written statements shall be submitted
to the DFO for the DSB, and this individual will ensure that the
written statements are provided to the membership for their
consideration.
