FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, Advisory Committee

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DAF SAB is being renewed in accordance
with chapter 10 of title 5, U.S.C. (commonly known as the ``Federal
Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA'') and 41 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) section 102-3.50(a). The charter and contact

The DAF SAB provides the Secretary of Defense and Deputy Secretary
of Defense with independent advice and recommendations on matters
supporting the DAF's scientific and technical enterprise and
specifically on matters pertaining to (a) conducting studies on topics
deemed critical by the Secretary of the Air Force; (b) recommending
applications of technology to improve DAF capabilities; and (c)
providing independent reviews of the quality and relevance of the DAF
science and technology (S&T) programs. The DAF SAB is composed of no
more than 20 members who are eminent authorities in the fields of
defense and/or S&T. These members come from varied backgrounds such as
science, technology, manufacturing, acquisition, logistics, public or
private sector business management, Federally Funded Research and
Development Centers, National Laboratories, and academia (universities
and colleges).
Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and
procedures and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with annual
renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the DAF SAB. No
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the DAF SAB, or
serve on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
DAF SAB members who are not full-time or permanent part-time
Federal civilian officers or employees, or active-duty members of the
Uniformed Services, are appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 3109, to serve as special government employee members. DAF
SAB members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian
officers or employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed Services
are appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a), to serve as regular
government employee members.
All DAF SAB members are appointed to provide advice based on their
best judgment without representing any particular point of view and in
a manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except for
reimbursement of official DAF SAB-related travel and per diem, members
serve without compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements about the DAF SAB's mission and functions. Written
statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated
agenda of planned meeting of the DAF SAB. All written statements shall
be submitted to the DFO for the DAF SAB, and this individual will
ensure that the written statements are provided to the membership for
their consideration.
