SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to circumstances beyond the control of
the Designated Federal Officer, the Remember and Explore Subcommittee
of the Advisory Committee on Arlington National Cemetery was unable to
provide public notification required by 41 CFR 102-3.150(a) concerning
its March 15, 2023 meeting. Accordingly, the Advisory Committee
Management Officer for the Department of Defense, pursuant to 41 CFR
102-3.150(b), waives the 15-calendar day notification requirement.
This meeting is being held under the provisions of chapter 10, 5

the Federal Regulations (CFR 102-3.150).
Purpose of the Meeting: The primary purpose of the Remember &
Explore Subcommittee is to recommend methods to maintain the Tomb of
the Unknown Soldier Monument, including the cracks in the large marble
sarcophagus, the adjacent marble slabs, and the potential replacement
marble stone for the sarcophagus already gifted to the Army; accomplish
an independent assessment of requests to place commemorative monuments
within ANC; and identify means to capture and convey ANC's history, and
improve the quality of visitors' experiences now and for generations to
come.
The primary purpose of the Honor Subcommittee is to accomplish an
independent assessment of methods to address the long-term future of
the Army national cemeteries, including how best to extend the active
burials and what ANC should focus on once all available space is used.
The ACANC provides independent advice and recommendations to the
Secretary of the Army on ANC, including, but not limited to, cemetery
administration, the erection of memorials at the cemetery, and master
planning for the cemetery. The Secretary of the Army may act on the
ACANC's advice and recommendations.
Agenda: The Remember and Explore Subcommittee will receive updates
on the Chaplains Hill Monuments and the National Conference on Ministry
in the Armed Forces (NCMAF) proposal; and receive an update on the Army
actions to date regarding the Secretary of Defense's Implementation
Guidance for the Commission on the Naming of Items of the Department of
Defense that Commemorate the Confederate States of America or Any
Person Who Served Voluntarily with the Confederate States of America's
recommendations regarding the Confederate Memorial.
The Honor Subcommittee will receive an update on the status of the
Final Eligibility Criteria Rule; and receive a briefing on the Memorial
Avenue Area Development Plan.
The ACANC will receive briefings from each subcommittee chair;
receive an operational update from the National Cemeteries
Administration; receive a briefing on the Exception to Policy Process
for interment at ANC; and receive an information briefing from the 3rd
Infantry Regiment and U.S. Army Band on support to ANC.
