SUMMARY: The DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is
renewing the Defense Advisory Committee on Military Personnel Testing
(DAC-MPT).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, DoD Advisory Committee
Management Officer, 703-692-5952.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAC-MPT is being renewed in accordance
with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C., App.) and 41
CFR 102-3.50(d). The charter and contact information for the DAC-MPT'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>.
The DAC-MPT provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary
of Defense independent advice and recommendations on matters and
policies related to the military personnel testing for selection and
classification. The DAC-MPT provided advice on issues related to the
research, development, implementation, and maintenance of enlisted and
officer accession tests and career exploration programs. Technical
issues addressed include, but are not limited to, processes and
policies related to administration and security of testing and
theoretical development of constructs, measurement precision, validity,
reliability, equating, efficiency, fairness, and other operational and
policy considerations.
The DAC-MPT shall consist of no more than seven members, appointed
in accordance with DoD policy and procedures and who are eminent
authorities in the fields of educational and psychological testing and
career development. Members must have expertise in the following, or
similar areas, psychometrics, test development, statistical
measurement, big-data

analytics, industrial/organization psychology, selection and
classification, educational measurement, career development and
counseling, and diversity and inclusion.
The appointment of DAC-MPT members shall be approved by the DoD
Appointing Authority, for a term of service of one-to-four years, with
annual renewals, in accordance with DoD policy and procedures. No
member, unless approved by the DoD Appointing Authority, may serve more
than two consecutive terms of service on the DAC-MPT, to include its
subcommittees, or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory
committees at one time.
DAC-MPT members who are not full-time or permanent part-time
Federal civilian officers or employees, or active duty members of the
Uniformed Services, shall be appointed as experts or consultants
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee (SGE)
members.
DAC-MPT members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal
civilian officers or employees, or active duty members of the Uniformed
Services, shall be appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a) to serve
as regular government employee (RGE) members.
The DoD Appointing Authorities shall appoint the DAC-MPT's
leadership from among the membership previously approved to serve on
the DAC-MPT in accordance with DoD policy and procedures, for a term of
service of one-to-two years, with annual renewal, which shall not
exceed the member's approved DAC-MPT appointment.
All DAC-MPT members are appointed to exercise their own best
judgment on behalf of the DoD, without representing any particular
points of view, and to discuss and deliberate in a manner that is free
from conflicts of interest. With the exception of reimbursement of
official DAC-MPT-related travel and per diem, DAC-MPT members serve
without compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements to the DAC-MPT membership about the DAC-MPT's mission and
functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time or in
response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of the DAC-MPT. All
written statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the DAC-MPT, and
this individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to
the membership for their consideration.
