The Pentagon is terminating the Naval Research Advisory Committee, according to a Federal Register notice published today.

"The Department of Defense is publishing this notice to announce it is terminating the Secretary of the Navy Advisory Panel along with its permanent subcommittee, the Naval Research Advisory Committee, on April 1, 2019," the notice states.

Further details about the decision were not available on the Federal Register. A spokesman for the Navy secretary was not able to immediately comment on the notice.

The NRAC's mission is to stay "abreast of the current research and development programs, and provide an independent, objective assessment capability through investigative studies," according to a Navy website.
