SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this notice to 
announce that it is renewing the charter for the United States 
Strategic Command Strategic Advisory Group (``the Group'').

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, Advisory Committee 
Management Officer for the Department of Defense, 703-692-5952.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Group's charter is being renewed in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 
U.S.C., Appendix, as amended) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(d). The Group's 
charter and contact information for the Board's Designated Federal 
Officer (DFO) can be found at http://www.facadatabase.gov/. The Group 
provides the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary of Defense, 
through the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Commander of 
the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM), with independent 
advice and recommendations on: (a) Scientific, technical, intelligence, 
and policy-related matters of interest to the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 
the USSTRATCOM concerning the development and implementation of the 
Nation's strategic war plans; (b) Enhancements in USSTRATCOM's mission 
area responsibilities; and (c) Other matters related to the Nation's 
strategic forces, as requested by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff or the Commander, USSTRATCOM.
    The Board is composed of no more than 20 members who are eminent 
authorities in the fields of strategic policy formulation; nuclear 
weapon design; national command, control, communications, intelligence, 
and information operations; or other important aspects of the Nation's 
strategic forces. All members of the Group are appointed to provide 
advice on behalf of the Government on the basis of 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 
Group-related travel and per diem, Group members serve without 
compensation. The DoD, when necessary and consistent with the Group's 
mission and DoD policies and procedures, may establish subcommittees, 
task forces, or working groups to support the Board. Currently, the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has approved one permanent 
subcommittee to the Group, the Stockpile Assessment Team (``the 
Team''). The Team is composed of no more than 15 members who are 
eminent authorities in the fields of strategic policy formulation; 
nuclear weapon design; national command, control, communications, 
intelligence, and information operations; or other important aspects of 
the Nation's strategic forces. The public or interested organizations 
may submit written statements to Group membership about the Group's 
mission and functions. Written statements may be submitted at any time 
or in response to the stated agenda of planned meeting of the Group. 
All written statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the Group, and 
this individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to 
the membership for their consideration.
