qualified candidates to apply to be considered for appointment to the 
Committee.

DATES: Applicable: July 2, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Ken Sandler, Office of Federal 
High-Performance Buildings, GSA, 202-219-1121.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Administrator of the GSA established the Green Building 
Advisory Committee (hereafter, ``the Committee'') on June 20, 2011 (76 
FR 118) pursuant to Section 494 of the Energy Independence and Security 
Act of 2007 (42 U.S.C. 17123, or EISA), in accordance with the 
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), as amended (5 
U.S.C. App. 2). Under this authority, the Committee advises GSA on how 
the Office of Federal High-Performance Buildings can most effectively 
accomplish its mission. Extensive information about the Committee, 
including current members, is available on GSA's website at http://www.gsa.gov/gbac.
    Membership requirements: The EISA statute authorizes the Committee 
and identifies the categories of members to be included. EISA names 10 
federal agencies and offices to be represented on the Committee, and 
GSA works directly with these agencies to identify their qualified 
representatives. This notice is focused exclusively on non-federal 
members. EISA provides that, in addition to its required federal 
members, the Committee shall include ``other relevant agencies and 
entities, as determined by the Federal Director.'' These are to include 
at least one representative of each of the following categories:
    ``(i) State and local governmental green building programs;
    (ii) Independent green building associations or councils;
    (iii) Building experts, including architects, material suppliers, 
and construction contractors;
    (iv) Security advisors focusing on national security needs, natural 
disasters, and other dire emergency situations;
    (v) Public transportation industry experts; and
    (vi) Environmental health experts, including those with experience 
in children's health.''
    EISA further specifies: ``the total number of non-federal members 
on the Committee at any time shall not exceed 15.''
    Member responsibilities: Approved Committee members will be 
appointed to terms of either 2 or 4 years with the possibility of 
membership renewals as appropriate. Membership is limited to the 
specific individuals appointed and is non-transferrable. Members are 
expected to attend all meetings in person, review all Committee 
materials, and actively provide their advice and input on topics 
covered by the Committee. Committee members will not receive 
compensation or travel reimbursements from the Government except where 
need has been demonstrated and funds are available.
    Request for membership nominations: This notice provides an 
opportunity for individuals to present their qualifications and apply 
for an open seat on the Committee. GSA will ask Committee members whose 
terms are expiring to re-apply if they are interested in continuing to 
serve on the Committee. GSA will review all applications and determine 
which candidates are likely to add the most value to the Committee 
based on the criteria outlined in this notice.
    At a minimum, prospective members must have:

--At least 5 years of high-performance building experience, which may 
include a combination of project-based, research and policy experience.
--Academic degrees, certifications and/or training demonstrating high-
performance building and related sustainability and real estate 
expertise.
--Knowledge of federal sustainability and energy laws and programs.
--Proven ability to work effectively in a collaborative, multi-
disciplinary environment and add value to the work of a committee.
--Qualifications appropriate to specific statutory requirements (listed 
above).

    No person who is a federally-registered lobbyist may serve on the 
Committee, in accordance with the Presidential Memorandum ``Lobbyists 
on Agency Boards and Commissions'' (June 18, 2010).
    Nomination process for Advisory Committee appointment: There is no 
prescribed format for the nomination. Individuals may nominate 
themselves or others. A nomination package shall include the following 
information for each nominee: (1) A letter of nomination stating the 
name and organizational affiliation(s) of the nominee, membership 
capacity he/she will serve (per statutory categories above), nominee's 
field(s) of expertise, and description of interest and qualifications; 
(2) A professional resume or CV; and (3) Complete contact information 
including name, return address, email address, and daytime telephone 
number of the nominee and nominator. GSA will consider nominations of 
all qualified individuals to ensure that the Committee includes the 
areas of high-performance building subject matter expertise needed. GSA 
reserves the right to choose Committee members based on qualifications, 
experience, Committee balance, statutory requirements and all other 
factors deemed critical to the success of the Committee. Candidates may 
be asked to provide detailed financial information to permit evaluation 
of potential conflicts of interest that could impede their work on the 
Committee, in accordance with the requirements of FACA. All nominations 
must be submitted in sufficient time to be received by 5 p.m., Eastern 
Daylight Time (EDT), on Thursday, July 26, 2018, and be addressed to 
ken.sandler@gsa.gov.
