DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

Office of the Secretary


Review of Department of Defense Supported Federal Advisory 
Committees

AGENCY: DoD.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 
1972, as amended (5 U.S.C., Appendix) and 41 CFR, parts 102-3 through 
102-3.185, the Department of Defense gives notice of changes to several 
existing DoD-Supporting Federal Advisory Committees.
    These changes are a result of the Department of Defense's 
continuing efforts to improve its Federal Advisory Committee Management 
Program by streamlining the independent advice and recommendations 
being received by the Secretary of Defense and his senior advisors. Key 
to the Department of Defense's efforts was the need to provide the 
Secretary of Defense and his senior advisors a strategic view of issues 
by establishing a foundation for cross communications and integrated 
thinking which is centrally funneled to the ultimate decision maker.
    The specific changes being made are:
    A. The Department of Defense establishes the Defense Health Board. 
This Federal Advisory Committee shall advise the Secretary of Defense, 
through the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) and 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) on matters 
pertaining to operational programs, policy development, and research 
programs and requirements for the treatment and prevention of disease 
and injury, the promotion of health and delivery of health care 
services to Department of Defense beneficiaries.
    B. The Department of Defense disestablishes the following chartered 
Federal Advisory Committees and reestablishes their functions as 
subcommittees of the Defense Health Board:

Armed Forces Epidemiological Board
Board of Directors of Amputee Patient Care Program
Scientific Advisory Board of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology

    C. With the disestablishment of the Armed Forces Epidemiological 
Board, the Department of Defense also disestablishes the Department of 
Defense Mental Health Task Force as a subcommittee of the Armed Forces 
Epidmiological Board and reestablishes it as a non-chartered 
subcommittee of the Defense Health Board. The Department of Defense 
Mental Health Task Force, as a subcommittee of the Defense Health 
Board, shall comply with the provisions of Section 723 of Public Law 
109-163.
    D. The Department of Defense disestablishes the following chartered 
Federal Advisory Committees and reestablishes their functions as 
subcommittees of the Defense Science Board:

Joint Advisory Committee on Nuclear Weapons Surety
DoD Advisory Group on Electronic Devices

    These committees and their subcommittees provide necessary and 
valuable independent advice to the Secretary of Defense and other 
senior Defense officials in their respective areas of expertise. They 
make important contributions to DoD efforts in research and 
development, education, and training, and various technical program 
areas.
    It is a continuing DoD policy to make every effort to achieve a 
balanced membership on all DoD advisory committees. Each committee is 
evaluated in terms of the functional disciplines, levels of experience, 
professional diversity, public and private association, and similar 
characteristics required to ensure a high degree of balance is 
obtained.

Management Office for the Department of Defense, 703-601-2554,
