Presidential Advisory Committee
A Presidential advisory committee advises the President. It can be either a discretionary or non-discretionary committee. Such committees are established by the President through an Executive Order or other Presidential directive, and can also be established by Congress. An outside group that is utilized by the President to obtain advice or recommendations may also be subject to FACA. Presidential advisory committees are subject to both FACA and the GSA regulations in the same manner as other advisory committees
The designation "independent Presidential advisory committee" refers to a Presidential advisory committee that has not been assigned to a particular Agency for administrative and other support. GSA provides support for these committees on a reimbursable basis.
