Some committees are created by statute, some by Executive order, and others by agency authority. Regardless of their beginning, however, they are used in almost every policy area of the Federal Government. The Federal Advisory Act has several key provisions: First, through a reporting requirement, it identifies the location, function and costs of advisory committees in the executive branch. In hearings leading to the passage of this legislation, it was found that the Federal Government did not know how many advisory committees existed, who had responsibility for them, or what functions they performed. Thus, the reporting requirement provides an annual inventory. The report requires that 'advisory committee members and their affiliations be specified. This serves two functions: (1) to identify those individuals who are giving advice and recommendations to the Federal Government, and (2) as a means of broadening the representation on advisory committees to include varied points of view and interests. Second, to combat the problem of a lack of central control and responsibility, the act established within the Office of Management and Budget a Committee Management Secretariat with responsibilities for all matters relating to advisory committees. This arrangement facilitates centralized decisionmaking and accountability. Thus, OMB has been assigned overall responsibility for the 1,439 committees identified as of the last calendar year. Standing committees of the Congress also have certain responsibilities under the act. Third, except in certain instances, the act calls for open meetings of all advisory committees. The Congress recognized that while total open government is not possible, closed advisory committee meetings should be the exception and not the rule. The act also deals with advance notice of meetings, balanced representation of membership, meaningful minutes or transcripts, the justification or discontinuance of advisory committees now in existence, nonestablishment of new advisory committees if an existing Federal agency or advisory committee can do the job, and limitation of these committees to advice, rather than policy decisionmaking and implementation"--Pages 1/2.

Book excerpt: Federal advisory committees--which may also be labeled as commissions, councils, or task forces--are established to assist the executive branch in deliberating and, in some cases, helping to solve complex or divisive issues. Congress, the President, or an agency head may establish a federal advisory committee to render independent advice or provide policy recommendations. In 1972, Congress enacted the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA; 5 U.S.C. Appendix-- Federal Advisory Committee Act; 86 Stat. 770, as amended), prompted by the perception that some advisory committees were duplicative, inefficient, and lacked adequate oversight. FACA mandates certain structural and operational requirements, including formal reporting and oversight procedures. Additionally, FACA requires committee meetings be open to the public, unless they meet certain requirements. Also, FACA committee records are to be accessible to the public. Pursuant to statute, the General Services Administration (GSA) maintains and administers management guidelines for federal advisory committees. This book offers a history of FACA, examines its current requirements, and provides data on federal advisory committees operations and costs.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal guidance on nutrition and diet is intended to reflect the state of the science and deliver the most reliable recommendations possible according to the best available evidence. This guidance, updated and presented every 5 years in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA), serves as the basis for all federal nutrition policies and nutrition assistance programs, as well as nutrition education programs. Despite the use of the guidelines over the past 30 years, recent challenges prompted Congress to question the process by which food and nutrition guidance is developed. This report assesses the process used to develop the guidelines; it does not evaluate the substance or use of the guidelines. As part of an overall, comprehensive review of the process to update the DGA, this first report seeks to discover how the advisory committee selection process can be improved to provide more transparency, eliminate bias, and include committee members with a range of viewpoints for the purpose of informing the 2020 cycle.

This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like many other agencies of the federal government, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies extensively on external advisory committees for independent scientific and technical advice. Recognizing that the existing advisory committee system is essentially sound, this volume recommends ways of enhancing the use of these committees in the evaluation of drugs, biological materials, and medical devices; strengthening the agency's management of the system; and increasing the accountability of the system to the public. In doing so, it examines and makes recommendations on such issues as the recruitment of committee members, the FDA's management of financial conflict of interest and intellectual bias among members, and the operations and management of the advisory committee system.
