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

(BCER).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, DoD Advisory Committee
Management Officer, 703-692-5952.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BCER charter is being renewed in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C.,
Appendix) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(a). The charter and contact information
for the BCER's Designated Federal Officer (DFO) are found at <a href="https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation">https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation</a>.
Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 426-2, the BCER provides independent advice
and recommendations on the functions of the Coastal Engineering
Research Center. The BCER provides independent advice and
recommendations on the work of the Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory,
which includes the Coastal Engineering Research Center, on coastal
engineering research priorities and additional functions as assigned by
the Commanding General, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (``the Chief of
Engineers'').
Pursuant to 33 U.S.C. 426, the BCER shall be composed of seven
members. Four members of the BCER will be officers of the Corps of
Engineers and serve as ex-officio members with one position being
occupied by the Deputy Commanding General for Civil and Emergency
Operations, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for no fixed term of service.
The remaining three BCER members shall be civilian engineers who are
selected with regard to their special fitness in the field of beach
erosion and shore protection. The Deputy Commanding General for Civil
and Emergency Operations, Corps of Engineers, shall serve as the
President of the Board.
The appointment of the civilian BCER members and the three coastal
division commanders shall be approved by the Secretary of Defense or
the Deputy Secretary of Defense (the DoD Appointing Authority), for a
term of service of one-to-four years, in accordance with DoD policy and
procedures. BCER 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. BCER
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 (RGE) members. No member, unless approved by the
DoD Appointing Authority, may serve more than two consecutive terms of
service on the BCER or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory
committees at one time.
All BCER members are appointed to provide advice on the basis of
their best judgment without representing any particular point of view
and in a manner that is free from conflict of interest. Pursuant to
section 105 of Public Law 91-611, civilian members on the BCER may be
paid at a rate not to exceed the daily equivalent of the rate for a GS-
15, step 10, for each day of attendance at BCER meetings, not to exceed
30 days per year, in addition to travel and other necessary expenses
connected with their official duties on the BCER, in accordance with
the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5703(b), (d) and 5707. RGE members may be
reimbursed for official BCER-related travel and per diem.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements about BCER mission and functions. Written statements may be
submitted at any time or in response to a stated agenda of a planned
meeting of the BCER. All written statements shall be submitted to the
DFO for the BCER, and this individual will ensure that the written
statements are provided to the membership for their consideration.
