SUMMARY: The DoD is publishing this notice to announce that it is

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Freeman, Advisory Committee 
Management Officer for DoD, 703-692-5952.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ASB is being renewed in accordance with 
chapter 10 of title 5, United States Code (U.S.C.) (commonly known as 
the ``Federal Advisory Committee Act'' or ``FACA'') and title 41 of the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 102-3.50(d). The charter and

    The ASB provides the Secretary of Defense and the Deputy Secretary 
of Defense (``the DoD Appointing Authority''), through the Secretary of 
the Army, independent advice and recommendations related to the 
Department of the Army's scientific, technical, manufacturing, 
acquisition, logistics, and business management functions. The ASB 
shall be composed of no more than 20 members who are eminent 
authorities in one or more of the following disciplines and fields: 
science; technology; manufacturing; acquisition; logistics; business 
management functions natural (e.g., biology, ecology), social (e.g., 
anthropology, community planning), and related sciences; and other 
matters of special interest to the DoD Appointing Authority or the 
Secretary of the Army.
    Individual members are appointed according to DoD policy and 
procedures, and serve a term of service of one-to-four years with 
annual renewals. One member will be appointed as Chair of the ASB. No 
member, unless approved according to DoD policy and procedures, may 
serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the ASB, or serve 
on more than two DoD Federal advisory committees at one time.
    ASB members who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal 
civilian officers or employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed 
Services, are appointed as experts or consultants, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 
3109, to serve as special government employee members. ASB members who 
are full-time or permanent part-time Federal civilian officers or 
employees, or active-duty members of the Uniformed Services are 
appointed pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.130(a), to serve as regular 
government employee members.
    All ASB members are appointed to provide advice based on their best 
judgment without representing any particular point of view and in a 
manner that is free from conflict of interest. Except for reimbursement 
of official ASB-related travel and per diem, members serve without 
compensation.
    The public or interested organizations may submit written 
statements about the ASB's mission and functions. Written statements 
may be submitted at any time or in response to the stated agenda of 
planned meeting of the ASB. All written statements shall be submitted 
to the DFO for the ASB, and this individual will ensure that the 
written statements are provided to the membership for their 
consideration.
