Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 10301(b), the RFPB shall serve as an

strategies, policies, and practices designed to improve and enhance the

The RFPB may act on those matters referred to it by the Chair and on

All RFPB work, including subcommittee work, will be in response to
written terms of reference or taskings approved by the Secretary of

Authority''), or the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness (USD(P&R)) unless otherwise provided by statute or
Presidential directive.
Consistent with the provisions of 10 U.S.C. 10301(c), the RFPB
shall be composed of 20 members, appointed or designated as follows:

subcommittees, or serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory
committees at one time.
RFPB members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal

All members of the RFPB are appointed to exercise their own best
judgment on behalf of the DoD, without representing any particular
point of view, and to discuss and deliberate in a manner that is free
from conflicts of interest. With the exception of reimbursement of
official RFPB related travel and per diem, RFPB members serve without
compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements to the RFPB about the RFPB's mission and functions. Written
statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated
agenda of planned meeting of the RFPB. All written statements shall be
submitted to the DFO for the RFPB, and this individual will ensure that
the written statements are provided to the membership for their
consideration.
