RECOMMENDATION/JUSTIFICATIONS

Agency Recommendation*	Terminate
Legislation to Terminate Required	No
Legislation Status
How does cmte accomplish its purpose?*	The committee has hosted no meetings for the past two FYs. In the past, the committee met twice a year. This provides committee members access to DoD personnel for briefings on contemporary issues affecting employers of reserve component personnel.
How is membership balanced?*	Membership includes senior executives of large and small private companies, as well as state and local government employers from across America. All current appointments expired in July 2011 and membership renewal is on hold pending the SECDEF Efficiencies Review.
How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*	Usually 2 meetings per year, though no meetings have occurred during the last two FYs. Meetings address contemporary issue involving Reserve Forces personnel and their civilian employers.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*	It is recommended this board be discontinued due to the lack of meaningful outcomes and because the Department of Defense has Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) under OSD/RA to coordinate and work on employer relations.
Why close or partially close meetings?	Meetings are not closed to the public unless the Department of Defense determines that items on the planned agenda meet the closed meeting provisions of 5 U.S.C. § 552b(c). Pursuant to DoD policy closed meetings can only be authorized by the DoD Sponsor (i.e., the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness), and only after consultation with the Office of the Department of Defense General Counsel.
Recommendation Remarks	Because the Board is scheduled to terminate and have not met for several FY's, the Board members were never renewed. There were no Board meetings in FY 10 or FY 11 and none scheduled for FY 12. Department of Defense (DoD) policy between fiscal year 2007 and 2011 required that subcommittee members be listed separately in the subcommittee section of GSA’s Database, even if they were duly appointed members of the parent committee. This policy, in some instances, caused a duplication of entries. Beginning in fiscal year 2012, DoD will only list in the subcommittee section of GSA’s Database those who are appointed to just a subcommittee. If an individual is appointed to the parent committee and to one of the committee’s authorized subcommittees then his or her subcommittee affiliation will be reflected in the parent committee membership section of GSA’s Database.
