Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 88 / Monday, May 7, 2012 / Notices
Each Board member is appointed to
provide advice on behalf of 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.
The Department, when necessary, and
consistent with the Board’s mission and
DoD policies and procedures, may
establish subcommittees deemed
necessary to support the Board.
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 advisory
committee’s sponsor.
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 any
subcommittee or its members update or
report directly to the Department of
Defense or any Federal officers or
employees.
All subcommittee members shall be
appointed in the same manner as the
Board members; that is, the Secretary of
Defense shall appoint subcommittee
members even if the member in
question is already a Board member.
Subcommittee members, with the
approval of the Secretary of Defense,
may serve a term of service on the
subcommittee of three years; however,
no member shall serve more than two
consecutive terms of service on the
subcommittee.
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 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 Board
related travel, subcommittee members
shall serve without compensation.
All subcommittees operate under the
provisions of FACA, the Government in
the Sunshine Act of 1976 (5 U.S.C.
552b), governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and governing DoD
policies/procedures.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim
Freeman, Deputy Advisory Committee
Management Officer for the Department
of Defense, 703–692–5952.

shall meet at the call of the Designated

at all Board and subcommittee meetings
for the entire duration of each and every
meeting; however, in the absence of the
Designated Federal Officer, the
Alternate Designated Federal Officer
shall attend the entire duration of the

102–3.140, the public or interested
organizations may submit written
statements to Chief of Engineers
Environmental Advisory Board
membership about the Board’s mission
and functions. Written statements may
be submitted at any time or in response

Engineers Environmental Advisory

and cannot contact you for clarification,

of encryption, and be free of any defects
or viruses.

will be publicly available only in hard
copy. Publicly available docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

I. What information is EPA particularly
interested in?
Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA
specifically solicits comments and
information to enable it to:
1. Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility.
2. Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimates of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
3. Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
4. Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of responses. In
particular, EPA is requesting comments
from very small businesses (those that
employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA
could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses
affected by this collection.
II. What should I consider when I
prepare my comments for EPA?
You may find the following
suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
1. Explain your views as clearly as
possible and provide specific examples.
2. Describe any assumptions that you
used.
3. Provide copies of any technical
information and/or data you used that
support your views.
4. If you estimate potential burden or
costs, explain how you arrived at the
estimate that you provide.
