functions vested in the Board and for no
other reason.
DoD, when necessary and consistent
with the Board’s mission and DoD
policies and procedures, may establish
subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups to support the Board.
Establishment of subcommittees will
be based upon a written determination,
to include terms of reference, by the
Secretary of Defense, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense, or USD(P&R), as
the Board’s Sponsor.
Such subcommittees shall not work
independently of the Board, and shall
report all of their recommendations and
advice solely to the Board for full and
open deliberation and discussion.
Subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups have no authority to make
decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
Board. No subcommittee or any of its
members can update or report, verbally
or in writing, on behalf of the Board,
directly to the DoD or any Federal
officer or employee.
All subcommittee members must be
appointed by the Secretary of Defense or
the Deputy Secretary of Defense to a
term of service of one-to-four years, with
annual renewals, even if the member in
question is already a member of the
Board, and no subcommittee members
will serve more than two consecutive
terms of service, unless authorized by
the Secretary of Defense or Deputy
Secretary of Defense. Subcommittee
members who are full-time or
permanent part-time Federal employees,
will be appointed as experts or
consultants pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.130(a), to serve as regular government
employee (RGE) members.
Subcommittee members, who are not
full-time or permanent part-time Federal
employees, shall be appointed pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 3109 to serve as special
government employee (SGE) members.
With the exception of reimbursement of
official travel and per diem related to
the Board or its subcommittees,
subcommittee members will serve
without compensation.
All subcommittees operate under the
provisions of FACA, the Sunshine Act,
governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and established DoD
policies and procedures.
The Board’s Designated Federal
Officer (DFO) must be a full-time or
permanent part-time DoD employee,
appointed in accordance with
established DoD policies and
procedures.
The Board’s DFO is required to be in
attendance at all meetings of the Board
and any subcommittees for the entire
duration of each and every meeting.

However, in the absence of the Board’s
DFO, a properly approved Alternate
DFO, duly appointed to the Board
according to established DoD policies
and procedures, must attend the entire
duration of all meetings of the Board
and its subcommittees.
The DFO, or the Alternate DFO, calls
all meetings of the Board and its
subcommittees; prepares and approves
all meeting agendas; and adjourns any
meeting when the DFO, or the Alternate
DFO, determines adjournment to be in
the public interest or required by
governing regulations or DoD policies
and procedures; and chairs meetings
when directed to do so by the official to
whom the Board reports.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
statements to Department of Defense
Medicare-Eligible Retiree Health Care
Board of Actuaries membership about
the Board’s mission and functions.
Written statements may be submitted at
any time or in response to the stated
agenda of planned meeting of the
Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of
Actuaries.
All written statements shall be
submitted to the DFO for the
Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of
Actuaries, and this individual will
ensure that the written statements are
provided to the membership for their
consideration. Contact information for
the Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of
Actuaries DFO can be obtained from the
GSA’s FACA Database—https://www.
facadatabase.gov/.
The DFO, pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.150, will announce planned meetings
of the Department of Defense MedicareEligible Retiree Health Care Board of
Actuaries. The DFO, at that time, may
provide additional guidance on the
submission of written statements that
are in response to the stated agenda for
the planned meeting in question.

data in the desired format. ED is
soliciting comments on the proposed
information collection request (ICR) that
is described below. The Department of
Education is especially interested in
public comment addressing the
following issues: (1) Is this collection
necessary to the proper functions of the
Department; (2) will this information be
processed and used in a timely manner;
(3) is the estimate of burden accurate;
(4) how might the Department enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (5) how
might the Department minimize the
burden of this collection on the
respondents, including through the use
of information technology. Please note
that written comments received in
response to this notice will be
considered public records.
Title of Collection: Charter School
Facilities National Questionnaire.
OMB Control Number: 1855–0024.
Type of Review: An extension of an
existing information collection.
Respondents/Affected Public: State,
Local and Tribal Governments.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 369.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 1,107.
Abstract: According to Part B section
5201 of the Elementary and Secondary
Education Act, one of the established
purposes of the Charter Schools
Program at the U.S. Department of
Education (ED) is to encourage ‘‘States
to provide support to charter schools for
facilities financing in an amount more
nearly commensurate to the amount the
States have typically provided for
traditional public schools’’. To help
achieve this purpose, the Charter School
Program needs reliable data to
understand the current facilities
landscape for charter schools. There
have been discussions on the struggles
of charter schools for equitable and
adequate access to facilities and
facilities financing, yet there were no
official studies, reports, or analyses
explicitly discussing the facility
landscape of charter schools and the
similarities and differences between
charter school and traditional public
school facilities. The Charter Schools
Program, through the National Charter
School Resource Center, administers a
questionnaire conducted by the
Colorado League of Charter Schools to
gather data on charter schools facilities.
This data helps to assess the true
facilities challenges of the charter
schools and what actions ED and the
SEAs must take to better financially
support the facilities needs of quality
charter schools. ED would like to
continue to use and administer this

questionnaire in additional states and
compile the data from all states into a
facilities database. ED plans to conduct
this survey in approximately three to
four states per year, depending on the
size of the state and local resources of
the CSO to support the survey. This
database will provide comprehensive
information about the facilities for
charter schools and the issues that
charter schools face in trying to obtain
adequate facilities. The League will
produce a report and an analysis
summarizing the findings per state.
