-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Defense (DoD) is publishing this notice to 
announce that it is renewing the charter for the United States Naval 
Academy Board of Visitors (``the Board'').

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This committee'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(a). The charter and 
contact information for the Board's Designated Federal Officer (DFO) 
can be obtained at http://www.facadatabase.gov/.
    The Board provides independent advice and recommendations to the 
President of the United States on the state of morale and discipline, 
curriculum, instruction, physical equipment, fiscal affairs, academic 
methods, and other matters relating to the Academy that the Board 
decides to consider. The Board shall be constituted annually and 
composed of 15 members: (a) The Chair of the Senate Committee on Armed 
Services, or designee; (b) Three other members of the Senate designated 
by the Vice President or the President pro tempore of the Senate, two 
of whom are members of the Senate Committee on Appropriations; (c) The 
Chair of the House Committee on Armed Services, or designee; (d) Four 
other members of the House of Representatives designated by the Speaker 
of the House of Representatives, two of whom are members of the House 
Committee on Appropriations; and (e) Six persons designated by the 
President. Board members who are full-time or permanent part-time 
Federal officers or employees shall be appointed as regular government 
employee members pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a). Board members who are 
not full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees 
shall be appointed as experts or consultants pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 
to serve as special government employee members. The Department of 
Defense, as necessary and consistent with the Board's mission and DoD 
policies and procedures, may establish subcommittees, task forces, or 
working groups to support the Board, and all subcommittees must operate 
under the provisions of FACA and the Government in the Sunshine Act. 
Subcommittees will not work independently of the Board and must report 
all recommendations and advice solely to the Board for full 
deliberation and discussion. Subcommittees, task forces, or working 
groups have no authority to make decisions and recommendations, 
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the Board. No subcommittee or any 
of its members can update or report, verbally or in writing, directly 
to the DoD or any Federal officers or employees. The Board's DFO, 
pursuant to DoD policy, must be a full-time or permanent part-time DoD 
employee, and must be in attendance for the duration of each and every 
Board/subcommittee meeting. The public or interested organizations may 
submit written statements to the Board membership about the Board's 
mission and functions. Such statements may be submitted at any time or 
in response to the stated agenda of planned Board. All written 
statements must be submitted to the Board's DFO who will ensure the 
written statements are provided to the membership for their 
consideration.
