DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary of Defense

 
Federal Advisory Committee Charter Modification

AGENCY: Department of Defense.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 
1972, (5 U.S.C. Appendix, as amended), the Sunshine in the Government 
Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as amended), and 41 CFR 102-3.65, the 
Department of Defense gives notice that the name of the Board of 
Visitors Joint Military Intelligence College is hereby changed to the 
Board of Visitors National Defense Intelligence College.
    The mission of the college's board of visitors remains unchanged; 
however, the Department of Defense changed the name of the college to 
the National Defense Intelligence College. As such, the Department of 
Defense is changing the name of the board of visitors to reflect the 
college's new name.
    The purpose of the Board of Visitors for the National Defense 
Intelligence College (hereafter referred to as the Board of Visitors) 
is to provide the Secretary of Defense independent advice on matters 
relating to the mission of the National Defense Intelligence College. 
The Director, Defense Intelligence Agency may act upon the Board of 
Visitor's advice and recommendations.
    The Board of Visitors shall be comprised of no more than twelve 
members, and the Department of Defense, to achieve a balanced 
membership, will include a cross-section of experts and eminent 
authorities in the fields of national intelligence, defense and 
academia.
    The Secretary of Defense approves the appointment of the members, 
and those who are not full-time Federal officers or employees are 
appointed as Special Government Employees under the authority of 5 
U.S.C. 3109. With the exception of travel and per diem for official 
travel, the members shall serve without compensation. The Director, 
Defense Intelligence Agency shall select the committee's chairperson 
from the Board of Visitors at large.
    The Board of Visitors shall meet at the call of the committee's 
Designated Federal Officer, in consultation with the Chairperson and 
the Director, Defense Intelligence Agency. The Designated Federal 
Officer shall be a full-time or part-time DoD employee, and shall be 
appointed in accordance with established DoD policies and procedures. 
The Designated Federal Officer or duly appointed Alternate Designated 
Federal Officer shall attend all committee meetings and subcommittee 
meetings.
    The Board of Visitors shall be authorized to establish 
subcommittees, as necessary and consistent with its mission, and these 
subcommittees or working groups shall operate under the provisions of 
the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., Appendix, as 
amended), the Sunshine in the Government Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. 552b, as 
amended), and other appropriate Federal regulations.
    Such subcommittees or workgroups shall not work independently of 
the chartered committee, and shall report all their recommendations and 
advice to the Board of Visitors for full deliberation and discussion. 
Subcommittees or workgroups have no authority to make decisions on 
behalf of the chartered committee nor can they report directly to the 
Department of Defense or any Federal officers or employees who are not 
members of the Board of Visitors.

Officer, 703-601-2554.
