           TITLE 41--PUBLIC CONTRACTS AND PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
 
               CHAPTER 102--FEDERAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION
 
PART 102-3_FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE MANAGEMENT--Table of Contents
 
             Subpart C_How Are Advisory Committees Managed?
 
Sec. 102-3.125  How should agencies consider the roles of advisory 
committee members and staff?

    FACA does not assign any specific responsibilities to members of 
advisory committees and staff, although both perform critical roles in 
achieving the goals and objectives assigned to advisory committees. 
Agency heads, Committee Management Officers (CMOs), and Designated 
Federal Officers (DFOs) should consider the distinctions between these 
roles and how they relate to each other in the development of agency 
guidelines implementing the Act and this Federal Advisory Committee 
Management part. In general, these guidelines should reflect:
    (a) Clear operating procedures. Clear operating procedures should 
provide for the conduct of advisory committee meetings and other 
activities, and specify the relationship among the advisory committee 
members, the DFO, and advisory committee or agency staff;
    (b) Agency operating policies. In addition to compliance with the 
Act, advisory committee members and staff may be required to adhere to 
additional agency operating policies; and
    (c) Other applicable statutes. Other agency-specific statutes and 
regulations may affect the agency's advisory committees directly or 
indirectly. Agencies should ensure that advisory committee members and 
staff understand these requirements.
