Sec. 7.7  Termination, renewal, and rechartering of advisory committees.

    (a) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this section, each NRC 
advisory committee shall terminate two years after it is established, 
reestablished, or renewed, unless--
    (1) It has been terminated sooner;
    (2) It has been renewed or reestablished before the end of such 
period in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph (b) of 
this section; or
    (3) Its duration has been otherwise designated by law. The NRC 
Committee Management Officer shall notify the Committee Management 
Secretariat of the effective date of termination of any advisory 
committee that has been terminated by the NRC.
    (b)(1) An NRC advisory committee that is established by statute 
shall require rechartering by the filing of a new charter every 2 years 
after the date of enactment of the statute establishing the committee. 
If a new charter is not filed, the committee is not terminated, but it 
may not meet or take any actions.
    (2) Any other NRC advisory committee may be renewed, provided that 
such renewal is carried out in compliance with the procedures set forth 
in Sec. 7.5, except that an advisory committee established by the 
President may be renewed by appropriate action of the President and the 
filing of a new charter. Renewal of an NRC advisory committee shall not 
be deemed to terminate the appointment of any committee member who was 
previously appointed to serve on the committee.
