SUMMARY: The DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is

Cemetery (ACANC).
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, DoD Advisory Committee
Management Officer, 703-692-5952.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACANC's charter is being renewed in
accordance with chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.)
(commonly known as the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA'')
and 41 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 102-3.50(a). The charter and
contact information for the ACANC's Designated Federal Officer (DFO)
are found at <a href="https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation">https://www.facadatabase.gov/FACA/apex/FACAPublicAgencyNavigation</a>.
The ACANC, pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 7723(b) and (c), provides the
Secretary of Defense, Deputy Secretary of Defense (``the DoD Appointing
Authority''), and the Secretary of the Army independent advice and
recommendations on matters relating to Arlington National Cemetery
(ANC). The ACANC shall make periodic reports and recommendations to the
Secretary of the Army with respect to the administration of ANC, the
erection and design of memorials at the cemetery, and master planning
for the cemetery. All advice and recommendations shall also be
forwarded to the DoD Appointing Authority. Pursuant to 38 U.S.C.
2409(E)(ii), the Secretary of the Army shall consult with the ACANC
before approving the design of a monument placed in the ANC. The ACANC
is composed of no more than 9 members who are prominent authorities in
their respective fields of interest or expertise, specifically
bereavement practices and administrative oversight to organizational
management, memorial erection and design, and master planning for
extending the life of a cemetery. Membership will consist of public and
private sector leaders with a diversity of background, experience, and
thought in support of the ACANC mission in one or more of the following
disciplines: expertise with bereavement practices and administrative
oversight, organizational management, veterans' services, memorial
erection and design, and master planning for extending the life of a
cemetery. Of the potential members, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs
shall nominate one member; the Secretary of the American Battle
Monuments Commission shall nominate one member; and the Secretary of
the Army shall nominate the remaining members.
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 ACANC. No
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the ACANC, or serve
on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
ACANC 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. ACANC 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 members of the ACANC 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 ACANC-related travel and per diem, members
serve without compensation.
The public or interested organizations may submit written
statements about the ACANC's mission and functions. Written statements
may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of
planned meeting of the ACANC. All written statements shall be submitted
to the DFO for the ACANC, and this individual will ensure that the
written statements are provided to the membership for their
consideration.
