# §7.7. Termination, renewal, and rechartering of advisory committees.

- (a) Except as provided in [paragraph (b)(1)](#b-1) of this section, each NRC advisory committee shall terminate two years after it is established, reestablished, or renewed, unless—
  - (1) It has been terminated sooner;
  - (2) It has been renewed or reestablished before the end of such period in accordance with the procedures set forth in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section; or
  - (3) **Its duration has been otherwise designated by law.** The NRC Committee Management Officer shall notify the Committee Management Secretariat of the effective date of termination of any advisory committee that has been terminated by the NRC.
- (b)
  - (1) An NRC advisory committee that is established by statute shall require rechartering by the filing of a new charter every 2 years after the date of enactment of the statute establishing the committee. If a new charter is not filed, the committee is not terminated, but it may not meet or take any actions.
  - (2) Any other NRC advisory committee may be renewed, provided that such renewal is carried out in compliance with the procedures set forth in [§ 7.5](/cfr/10/7.5.md), except that an advisory committee established by the President may be renewed by appropriate action of the President and the filing of a new charter. Renewal of an NRC advisory committee shall not be deemed to terminate the appointment of any committee member who was previously appointed to serve on the committee.
