SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard announces the designation of
the New England Commission of Higher Education (NECHE) as a
``designated entity'' under 10 U.S.C. 1589 and 1033. The Coast Guard
also announces the participation of the Coast Guard Academy Provost Dr.
Amy Donhue in the management of the entity as a Commisioner. Sections
1589 and 1033 allow the Secretary of the Department of Homeland
Security to specify certain non-federal entities as ``designated
entities'' in which a member of the armed forces or a civilian employee
may be authorized to participate in a specific capacity. The Secretary
delegated this authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard through
the Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 00170.1, Revision
No. 01.3 (paragraph II.14).
A ``designated entity'' must meet the requirements of 10 U.S.C.
1033. In relevant part, section 1033 requires an entity to be a non-
profit oganization and perform one of the statutorily enumerated
functions, including accreditation of service academies and other
schools of the armed forces. NECHE is a voluntary non-government
association that provides accreditation to the U.S. Coast Guard
Academy. Therefore, NECHE is an entity that may be designated under 10
U.S.C. 1033 and, in turn, 10 U.S.C. 1589.
Section 1589 also allows the Secretary concerned to authorize an
employee, including a civilian officer, to participate, without
compensation, in the managemenent of a designated entity for the
purposes of oversight, advice to, and coordination with that designated
entity. An employee's participation may not extend to the day to day
operations of the entity. The Coast Guard Academy announces the
authorization of Dr. Amy Donahue, the Provost of the Coast Guard
Academy, to participate in the management of NECHE within limits of 10
U.S.C. 1033 and 10 U.S.C. 1589. Specifically, and in
[[Page 87790]]
accordance with 10 U.S.C. 1589, Dr. Donahue will serve in her official
capacity, and without additional compensation, provide oversight,
advice, and coordination with NECHE. Dr. Donahue's participation will
not, however, extend to participation in the day-to-day operations of
the NECHE.
The effective date of NECHE's designation and Dr. Donahue's
authorization is November 21, 2023. This notice is issued under the
authority in 10 U.S.C. 1033(c) and 1589(c).
E.J. Van Camp,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Assistant Superintendent, U.S. Coast Guard
Academy.
