What is the role of the NCS in regards to the NSTAC, the IES and other subcommittees?
Executive Order 12382 assigns the NCS the role of providing staff support and technical assistance to the NSTAC, and therefore the IES and other subcommittees. The NCS Manager is the Designated Federal Official of the NSTAC. The NSTAC bylaws name the NCS Deputy Manager as the non-voting IES Chair. Since the IES is not an advisory committee, the Deputy Manager is not a formal Designated Federal Official.
