-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is amending
the charter for the U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory Board and
changing its name to the Department of the Air Force Scientific
Advisory Board (DAF SAB).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, DoD Advisory Committee
Management Officer, 703-692-5952.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The U.S. Air Force Scientific Advisory Board
will now be known as the DAF SAB, and its charter is being amended in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.,
Appendix) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(d). The charter and contact information
for the DAF SAB's Designated Federal Officer (DFO) are found at <a href="https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgency">https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgency</a> Navigation.
The DAF SAB provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary
of Defense with independent advice and recommendations on matters
supporting the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) 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.
