[Public Notice: 12031]
U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy; Notice of Charter
Renewal for the U.S. Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy
The Department of State has renewed the Charter for the U.S.
Advisory Commission on Public Diplomacy (ACPD).
The Commission was originally established under section 604 of the
United States Information and Educational Exchange Act of 1948, as
amended (22 U.S.C. 1469), and under section 8 of Reorganization Plan
Number 2 of 1977. It was permanently reauthorized pursuant to section
5604 of the National Defense Authorization Act, Fiscal Year 2022 (Pub.
L. 117-81), which amended section 1134 of the Foreign Affairs Reform
and Restructuring Act of 1998 (22 U.S.C. 6553).
For more than 70 years, the ACPD has appraised U.S. Government
activities intended to understand, inform, and influence foreign
publics and has aimed to increase the understanding of and support for
these activities. The Commission conducts research and symposia that
provide honest
[[Page 19344]]
assessments and informed discourse on public diplomacy efforts across
the U.S. Government, and it disseminates findings through reports,
white papers, and other publications. It reports to the President,
Secretary of State, and Congress. The Under Secretary for Public
Diplomacy and Public Affairs' Office of Policy, Planning, and Resources
(R/PPR) provides administrative support for the ACPD.
The Commission consists of seven members appointed by the
President, with the advice and consent of the Senate. The members of
the Commission represent the public interest and are selected from a
cross section of educational, communications, cultural, scientific,
technical, public service, labor, business, and professional
backgrounds. No more than four members may be from any one political
party. The President designates a member to chair the Commission.
The current members of the Commission are: Mr. Sim Farar of
California, Chair; Mr. William Hybl of Colorado, Vice-Chair; and Ms.
Anne Terman Wedner of Florida. Four seats on the Commission currently
are vacant.
The Charter renewal was filed on March 15, 2023.
