Notice.

ACTION:
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.

disestablishes the following chartered
Federal Advisory Committees and
reestablishes their functions as
subcommittees of the Defense Health
Board:
DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Armed Forces Epidemiological Board
Board of Directors of Amputee Patient Care
Program
Scientific Advisory Board of the Armed
Forces Institute of Pathology
AGENCY:
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.
