    Authority: The Board is a statutory committee established as 
required by Section 2(i) of the West Los Angeles Leasing Act of 
2016, Public Law 114-226 (the West LA Leasing Act). The Board 
operates in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 U.S.C. App. 2.
    Membership Criteria and Qualifications: VA is seeking nominations

years. The Secretary may reappoint any Board member for additional 
terms of service.
    To the extent possible, the Secretary seeks members who have
