L. 92-463, as amended), and with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury and the concurrence of the Office of Management and Budget, the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) announces the renewal of the following Advisory Committee: Title: Advisory Committee to the National Center for State, Local, and International Law Enforcement Training. Purpose: The primary purpose of the Advisory Committee is to provide a forum for discussion and interchange between a broad cross- section of representatives for the law enforcement community and related training institutions on training issues and needs. Considering that there are over 40,000 individual police departments throughout the country,the advice emanating from this exchange is very important to the Director of the FLETC and the Director of the National Center for State, Local, and International Law Enforcement Training (National Center). The Committee's advice is critical to ensuring that programs developed and offered by the National Center are meeting the unique and specialized needs of the State and local law enforcement community and enhancing [[Page 61584]] the networking between Federal, State, and local agencies. This networking is essential to an efficient and effective overall system. Although FLETC representatives participate in the training committee activities of the major police membership associates, no forum exists which provides the broad representation required to meet the needs of the National Center. The uniqueness of the program requires an appropriately selected and specifically dedicated group. The Committee advises the Director of the FLETC and the Director of the National Center on policy formulation, training needs, curriculum and course content, student admission and evaluation. There is no question that the Committee's input has been very instrumental in the successes enjoyed to this point. Resources have been committed only to those programs which meet unique needs of the State, local, and international law enforcement community. All programs have been well attended, and critiques and evaluations are quite positive. In addition, State, local, and international agencies have actively participated in the development and delivery of the programs by providing personnel as subject matter experts, course developers, and instructors. The programs offered have been developed only after a thorough screening process to ensure that the limited resources available are being committed most productively. The Committee's input has been invaluable on this decision process. The Committee does not duplicate functions being performed within Treasury or elsewhere in the Federal Government. Termination Date: The services of the Committee are expected to be needed for an indefinite period of time. No termination date has been established which is less than two years from the date the Advisory Committee's Charter is approved. The Advisory Committee's Charter is approved by signature of the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Management. John C. Dooher, Associate Director.
