of their best judgment without
representing any particular point of
view and in a manner that is free from
conflict of interest.
Board members will serve without
compensation except for reimbursement
of travel and per diem as it pertains to
official business of the Board. DoD,
when necessary and consistent with the
Board’s mission and DoD policies and
procedures, may establish
subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups 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 USD(I), as
the Board’s sponsor.
Such subcommittees shall not work
independently of the Board and shall
report all of their recommendations and
advice solely to the Board for full and
open deliberation and discussion.
Subcommittees, task forces, or working
groups have no authority to make
decisions and recommendations,
verbally or in writing, on behalf of the
Board. No subcommittee or any of its
members can update or report, verbally
or in writing, on behalf of the Board,
directly to the DoD or any Federal
officer or employee.

annual renewals, even if the member in
question is already a member of the
Board. Subcommittee members shall not
serve more than two consecutive terms
of service unless authorized by the
Secretary of Defense or the Deputy
Secretary of Defense.
Subcommittee members, if not fulltime or permanent part-time Federal
employees, will be appointed as experts
or consultants pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 3109
to serve as SGE members. Subcommittee
members, who are full-time or
permanent part-time Federal employees,

governing Federal statutes and
regulations, and established DoD
policies and procedures.
The Board’s Designated Federal
Officer (DFO) shall be a full-time or
permanent part-time DoD employee and
shall be appointed in accordance with
established DoD policies and
procedures. The Board’s DFO is
required to be in attendance at all

the absence of the Board’s DFO, a
properly approved Alternate DFO, duly
appointed to the Board according to

duration of all meetings of the Board
and its subcommittees.
The DFO, or the Alternate DFO, shall
call all meetings of the Board and its
subcommittees; prepare and approve all
meeting agendas; and adjourn any
meeting when the DFO, or the Alternate

[CFDA No. 84.200A]

Funding Down the Grant Slate From
Fiscal Year (FY) 2012; Graduate
Assistance in Areas of National Need
(GAANN) Program
Office of Postsecondary
Education, Department of Education.
ACTION: Notice of intent to fund down
the grant slate from fiscal year (FY)
2012.
AGENCY:

The Secretary intends to use
the grant slate developed in FY 2012 for
the GAANN Program authorized by
Section 711 of the Higher Education Act
of 1965, as amended (HEA), to make
new grant awards in FY 2014. The
Secretary takes this action because a
significant number of high-quality
applications remain on the FY 2012
grant slate and limited funding is
available for new grant awards in FY
2014. We expect to use an estimated
$1,268,000 for new awards in FY 2014.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Rebecca Ell, U.S. Department of
Education, 1990 K Street NW., room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

Background
On December 15, 2011, the
Department of Education published a
notice in the Federal Register (76 FR
77985) inviting applications for FY 2012
for new awards under the GAANN
Program.
In response to that notice, we received
a significant number of high-quality
applications. Many applications that
received high scores by peer reviewers
were not selected for funding.

To conserve funding that would have
been required for a peer review of new
grant applications submitted under this
program and instead use those funds to
support grant activities, the FY 2013
GAANN grantees were selected from the
slate of applicants developed during the
FY 2012 competition using the priority,
selection criteria, and application
requirements referenced in the
December 2011 notice. A number of
high-quality applications from the 2012
competition were not funded in 2012 or
2013. We will select new grantees in FY
2014 from the existing slate developed
in FY 2012 for the same reasons and in
the same manner as we did in FY 2013.
Program Authority: 20 U.S.C. 1135.
