      Subpart B_How Are Advisory Committees Established, Renewed, 
                     Reestablished, and Terminated?
 
Sec. 102-3.80  How are minor charter amendments accomplished?

    (a) Responsibility and limitation. The agency head is responsible 
for amending the charter of an advisory committee. Amendments may be 
either minor or major. The procedures for making changes and filing 
amended charters will depend upon the authority basis for the advisory 
committee. Amending any existing advisory committee charter does not 
constitute renewal of the advisory committee under Sec. 102-3.60.
    (b) Procedures for minor amendments. To make a minor amendment to an 
advisory committee charter, such as changing the name of the advisory 
committee or modifying the estimated number or frequency of meetings, 
the following procedures must be followed:
    (1) Non-discretionary advisory committees. The agency head must 
ensure that any minor technical changes made to current charters are 
consistent with

the relevant authority. When the Congress by law, or the President by 
Executive order, changes the authorizing language that has been the 
basis for establishing an advisory committee, the agency head or the 
chairperson of an independent Presidential advisory committee must amend 
those sections of the current charter affected by the new statute or 
Executive order, and file the amended charter as specified in Sec. 102-
3.70.
    (2) Discretionary advisory committees. The charter of a 
discretionary advisory committee may be amended when an agency head 
determines that technical provisions of a filed charter are inaccurate, 
or specific provisions have changed or become obsolete with the passing 
of time, and that these amendments will not alter the advisory 
committee's objectives and scope substantially. The agency must amend 
the charter language as necessary and file the amended charter as 
specified in Sec. 102-3.70.
