Army, including 15 members
recommended by the Governor of South
Dakota that represent equally the
various interest of the public and
include representatives of: The South
Dakota Department of Environment and
Natural Resources; the South Dakota
Department of Game, Fish, and Parks;
environmental groups; the hydroelectric
power industry; local governments;
recreation user groups; agricultural

recommended by each of the nine
Indian Tribes in the State of South
Dakota; and one member recommended
by the organization known as the
‘‘Three Affiliated Tribes of North
Dakota’’ (composed of the Mandan,
Hidatsa, and Arikara tribes).
The members of the Trust shall be
appointed by the Secretary of the Army
as representative members to the Task
Force. All representative members of the
Trust shall be appointed for a two-year
term of service; however, no member,
unless authorized by the Secretary of
the Army, may serve more than two
consecutive terms of service. In
addition, all Task Force members shall,
with the exception of travel and per
diem for official travel, serve without
compensation. DoD, when necessary
and consistent with the Task Force’s
mission and DoD policies and
procedures, may establish
subcommittees, task groups, and
working groups to support the Task
Force. 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 the
Secretary of the Army.
Such subcommittees shall not work
independently of the Task Force, and
shall report all their recommendations
and advice to the Task Force for full
deliberation and discussion.
Subcommittees have no authority to
make decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
Task Force; nor can any subcommittee
or its members update or report directly
to the DoD or any Federal officers or
employees.
The Secretary or the Deputy Secretary
of Defense may approve the
appointment of subcommittee members
for two-year term of service with annual
renewals; however, no member, unless
authorized by the Secretary of Defense,
may serve more than two consecutive
terms of service. These individuals may

come from the Task Force or may be
new nominees, as recommended by the
Secretary of the Army and based upon
the subject matters under consideration.
Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or part-time Government
employees, shall be appointed to serve
as experts and consultants under the
authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and shall
serve as SGEs, whose appointments
must be renewed by the Secretary of
Defense on an annual basis. With the
exception of travel and per diem for
official travel related to the Task Force
or its subcommittee, subcommittee
members shall serve without
compensation.
Each subcommittee member is
appointed to provide advice to the
Government on the basis of his or her
best judgment without representing any
particular point of view and in a manner
that is free from conflict of interest.
All subcommittees operate under the
provisions of FACA, the Sunshine Act,
governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and governing DoD policies
and procedures.
The Task Force shall meet at the call
of the Task Force’s Designated Federal
Officer (DFO), in consultation with the
Chairperson. The estimated number of
Task Force meetings is no less than two
per year.
In addition, the DFO is required to be
in attendance at all Task Force and
subcommittee meetings for the entire
duration of each and every meeting;
however, in the absence of the DFO, the
Alternate DFO shall attend the entire
duration of the Task Force or
subcommittee meeting.
Pursuant to 41 CFR 102–3.105(j) and
102–3.140, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
statements to the Task Force
membership about the Task Force’s
mission and functions. Written
statements may be submitted at any
time or in response to the stated agenda
of planned meeting of the Task Force.
All written statements shall be
submitted to the DFO, and this
individual will ensure that the written
statements are provided to the
membership for their consideration.
Contact information for the Task Force’s
DFO can be obtained from the GSA’s
FACA Database—https://www.fido.gov/
facadatabase/public.asp.
The DFO, pursuant to 41 CFR 102–
3.150, will announce planned meetings
of the Task Force. 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.
