[CPEO-MEF] CORRECTION--RABs and FACA

[Aimee Houghton <aimeeh@cpeo.org>]

Yesterday we posted language on RABs and the Federal Facilities Compliance 
Act indicating that it was included in the House version of the Defense 
Authorization bill.  We inadvertently posted an earlier version of that 
language.  The actual version that appears in the published version of the 
House Defense Authorization bill for FY04 (H.R. 1588) appears below.  Our 
apologies for any confusion this has caused.

SEC. 326. APPLICABILITY OF CERTAIN PROCEDURAL AND
ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS TO RESTORATION
ADVISORY BOARDS.

Section 2705(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code, is
amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph:

"(C)(i) Section 10(a)(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(5 U.S.C. App.), relating to publication in the Federal Register
of notices of meetings of advisory committees, shall not apply to
 any meeting of a restoration advisory board under this subsection,
but a restoration advisory board shall publish timely notice of each
meeting of the restoration advisory board in a local newspaper of
general circulation.
"(ii) No limitation under any provision of law or regulations on the
total number of advisory committees (as that term is defined in
section 3(2) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act) in existence at
 any one time shall operate to limit the number of restoration advisory
boards in existence under this subsection at any one time.''.
