L. 110-181; 122 Stat 357; 10 U.S.C. 2358 note). Subsequent to this notice, section 1105(a) of the NDAA for FY 2010 (Pub. L. 111-84; 123 Stat. 2486; 10 United States Code (U.S.C.) 2358 note) was passed to designate seven additional DoD laboratories as STRLs and coupled them with the legacy STRLs enumerated in 9902(c)(2) of title 5, U.S.C., but it did not provide language to extend the coverage of section 1107(c) of NDAA for FY 2008 to all the STRLs listed in section 1105(a) of the NDAA for FY 2010. The Ike Skelton NDAA for FY 2011, subsection 1101(b)(2) contains language to clarify that section 1107(c) of the NDAA for FY 2008 applies to those DoD laboratories designated as STRLs by section 1105(a) of the NDAA for FY 2010. In addition, experience with the processes and procedures described in the Federal Register notice (73 FR 73248-73252) for adopting STRL flexibilities, modifying demo project plans, or executing Federal Register Notices has identified some areas for streamlining and updating. This notice adds reference to the new and clarifying legislation as well as a provision that processes and procedures may be changed with associated modifications issued in DoD internal issuances as appropriate.

Agency: Office of the Secretary, Department of Defense
The Department of Defense (DoD) is issuing this interim final rule to implement section 358 of the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011. That section requires that the DoD issue procedures addressing the impacts upon military operations of certain types of structures if they pose an unacceptable risk to the national security of the United States. The structures addressed are those for which an application is required to be filed with the Secretary of Transportation. Section 358 also requires the designation of a lead organization to coordinate DoD review of applications for projects filed with the Secretary of Transportation and received by the Department of Defense from the Secretary of Transportation. Section 358 also requires the designation of certain officials by the Secretary of Defense to perform functions pursuant to the section and this implementing rule. Section 358 also requires the establishment of a comprehensive strategy for addressing military impacts of renewable energy projects and other energy projects, with the objective of ensuring that the robust development of renewable energy sources and the expansion of the commercial electrical grid may move forward in the United States, while minimizing or mitigating any adverse impacts on military operations and readiness. That requirement, however, is not required at this time and is not part of this rule. Other aspects of section 358 not required at this time, such as annual reports to Congress, are also not addressed in this rule. Nor does this rule deal with other clearance processes not included in section 358, such as those applied by the Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

The Department of Defense is recommending changes to the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States (2008 Edition) (MCM). The proposed changes incorporate the restyled Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) approved by the U.S. Supreme Court on 26 April 2011 and which will take effect, pursuant to the Rules Enabling Act, on 1 December 2011. In accordance with 10 U.S.C. 936 and Military Rule of Evidence (MRE) 1102(a), amendments to the FRE will automatically amend parallel provisions of the MRE eighteen months after the effective date of such amendments, absent contrary action by the President. The MCM and DoD Directive 5500.17, ``Role and Responsibilities of the Joint Service Committee (JSC) on Military Justice,'' May 3, 2003, require the JSC to assist the President in fulfilling his rulemaking responsibilities under 10 U.S.C. 936. These proposed changes have not been coordinated within the Department of Defense under DoD Directive 5500.1, ``Preparation, Processing and Coordinating Legislation, Executive Orders, Proclamations, Views Letters Testimony,'' June 15, 2007, and do not constitute the official position of the Department of Defense, the Military Departments, or any other Government agency. This notice is provided in accordance with DoD Directive 5500.17, ``Role and Responsibilities of the Joint Service Committee (JSC) on Military Justice,'' May 3, 2003. This notice is intended only to improve the internal management of the Federal Government. It is not intended to create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law by any party against the United States, its agencies, its officers, or any person. This notice also sets forth the date, time and location for the public meeting of the JSC to discuss the proposed changes.

The Defense Intelligence Agency Advisory Board, pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3.50(d), is a discretionary Federal advisory committee established to provide the Secretary of Defense through the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency advice on matters relating to DoD's intelligence enterprise. The Board shall: (a) Review and evaluate progress on selected intelligence issues, programs and topics; (b) Advise on the effectiveness of intelligence sources and methods to aid the Department of Defense in establishing resource allocations among programs, consistent with national intelligence requirements; (c) Review, evaluate and recommend initiatives to improve support to the defense intelligence enterprise; and (d) Advise on the effectiveness of various methodologies and doctrines. The Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence may act upon the Board's advice and recommendations. The Board shall be comprised of no more than fifteen members appointed by the Secretary of Defense who have distinguished backgrounds in national security policy, defense intelligence, geopolitical matters, academia and the private sector. All Board member appointments must be renewed by the Secretary of Defense on an annual basis. The Secretary of Defense, based upon the recommendation of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and the Director of Defense Intelligence Agency, shall select the Chairperson. Board members appointed by the Secretary of Defense, who are not full-time or permanent part-time federal employees, shall be appointed as experts and consultants under the authority of 5 U.S.C. Sec. 3109 and shall serve as special government employee members. With the exception of travel and per diem for official travel, Board members shall serve without compensation. All Board members are appointed to provide advice on behalf of the government on the basis of their best judgment without representing any particular point of view and in a manner that is free from conflict of interest. With DoD approval, the Board is authorized to establish subcommittees, as necessary and consistent with its mission. These subcommittees shall operate under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972, the Government in the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C. Sec. 552b), and other governing Federal regulations. Such subcommittees shall not work independently of the chartered Board, and shall report all their recommendations and advice to the Board for full deliberation and discussion. Subcommittees have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the chartered Board; nor can they report directly to the Department of Defense or any Federal officers or employees who are not Board members. Subcommittee members, who are not Board members, shall be appointed in the same manner as the Board members. Such individuals, if not full- time or part-time government employees, shall be appointed to serve as experts and consultants under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 3109, and serve as special government employees, 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, subcommittee members shall serve without compensation.
