RECOMMENDATION/JUSTIFICATIONS

Agency Recommendation*	Terminate
Legislation to Terminate Required	No
Legislation Status	Not Applicable
How does cmte accomplish its purpose?*	The Board shall provide independent advice and recommendations through the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to the Secretary and through the Director of Technology Transformation Services (TTS) to the Administrator of the General Services Administration (GSA), when requested by the Administrator, on issues relevant to the Federal Government’s engagement and support of technological innovation, and the incorporation and adoption of emerging technologies and innovative means to address critical technological challenges facing the Federal Government in its provision of services to the public, within the framework of applicable national policies.
How is membership balanced?*	Members of the Board shall be appointed by the NIST Director. The Board shall be composed of no more than 15 members. The members must possess some or all of the following: (a) proven track record of sound judgment in leading or governing large, complex private sector corporations or organizations; (b) demonstrated performance in identifying and adopting new technology innovations into the operations of large organizations in either the public or private sector; and (c) demonstrated performance in developing new technology concepts. CIAB members serve three-year terms and may serve two consecutive terms. A member that has served two consecutive terms is ineligible to serve a third term for a period of one year following the expiration of the second term. Vacancies are filled as soon as highly qualified candidates in a needed area of expertise are identified and available to serve. Members of the Board who are not full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees will be appointed to serve as Special Government Employee (SGE) members. Members of the Board who are full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees will be appointed pursuant to 41 C.F.R. § 102-3.130(h) to serve as Regular Government Employee (RGE) members. No member, unless authorized by the NIST Director, may serve more than two consecutive terms of service on the Board, to include its subcommittees. Members shall be selected solely on the basis of established records of distinguished service and shall be eminent in fields such as business, research, new product development, engineering, labor, education, management consulting, environment, and international relations. Consistent with DOC policy, the Director of NIST shall appoint the Board Chair from among the Board membership approved in accordance with policy and procedures and, in doing so, shall determine the term of service for the Board Chair, which shall not exceed the member’s approved term of service. All Board members will be reimbursed for travel and per diem as it pertains to official business of the Board. Board members will serve without compensation. The Director of NIST on behalf of the Secretary of Commerce, pursuant to DOC policies and procedures, may appoint, as deemed necessary, non-voting subject matter experts (SMEs) to assist the Board or its subcommittees on an ad hoc basis. These non-voting SMEs are not members of the Board or its subcommittees and will not engage or participate in any deliberations by the Board or its subcommittees. These non-voting SMEs, if not full-time or permanent part-time Federal officers or employees, will be appointed pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 3109 on an intermittent basis to address specific issues under consideration by the Board. Members shall not reference or otherwise utilize their membership on the Board in connection with public statements made in their personal capacities without a disclaimer that the views expressed are their own and do not represent the views of the CIAB, NIST, GSA, or the Department of Commerce.
How frequent & relevant are cmte mtgs?*	Twice a year.
Why advice can't be obtained elsewhere?*	No advisory board currently exists to provide dedicated recommendations regarding the civilian Federal Government's adaption and integration of new and emerging technologies. The closest equivalent advisory board is the Defense Innovation Board at the Department of Defense, which focuses solely on defense and national security needs and not on civilian federal government services.
Why close or partially close meetings?	N/A
Recommendation Remarks	Because the Board does not fulfill any statutory or regulatory requirement; it has not had any members appointed; is considered inactive; does not align with NIST's mission; its work has become obsolete; and the Board is no longer carrying out the purpose for which it was established, NIST recommended termination of the Board and it was approved by the Secretary of Commerce.
