SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This committee's charter is being renewed in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C., 
Appendix) and 41 CFR 102-3.50(a). The Committee's charter and contact 
information for the Committee's Designated Federal Officer (DFO) can be 
obtained at http://www.facadatabase.gov/. The Committee makes periodic 
reports and recommendations to the Secretary of the Army with respect 
to the administration of Arlington National Cemetery, the erection of 
memorials at the cemetery, and master planning for the cemetery. The 
Committee will be composed of no more than nine members who are eminent 
authorities in their respective fields of interest or expertise, 
specifically bereavement practices and administrative oversight, the 
erection of memorials, and master planning for extending the life of a 
cemetery. Members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
officers or employees will be appointed as experts or consultants 
pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special government employee 
members. Members who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
officers or employees will be appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a) 
to serve as regular government employee members. All members 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 Committee-related travel and per diem, 
members serve without compensation. The DoD, as necessary and 
consistent with the Committee's mission and DoD policies and 
procedures, may establish subcommittees, task forces, or working groups 
to support the Committee, and all subcommittees must operate under the 
provisions of FACA and the Government in the Sunshine Act. 
Subcommittees will not work independently of the Committee and must 
report all their recommendations and advice solely to the Committee 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 Committee. 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 
Committee'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 Committee/subcommittee meeting. The public 
or interested organizations may submit written statements to the 
Committee membership about the Committee's mission and functions. 
Written statements may be submitted at any time or in response to the 
stated agenda of planned meeting of the Committee. All written 
statements shall be submitted to the DFO for the Committee, and this 
individual will ensure that the written statements are provided to the 
membership for their consideration.
