    (a) Authorization.--(1) The Secretary concerned may authorize an 
employee described in paragraph (2) to serve without compensation as a 
director, officer, or trustee, or to otherwise participate, in the 
management of an entity designated under subsection (b). Any such 
authorization shall be made on a case-by-case basis, for a particular

designated entity. Such authorization may be made only for the purpose 
of providing oversight and advice to, and coordination with, the 
designated entity, and participation of the employee in the activities 
of the designated entity may not extend to participation in the day-to-
day operations of the entity.
    (2) Paragraph (1) applies to any employee of the Department of 
Defense or, in the case of the Coast Guard when not operating as a 
service in the Navy, of the Department of Transportation. For purposes 
of this section, the term ``employee'' includes a civilian officer.
    (b) Designated Entities.--The Secretary of Defense, and the 
Secretary of Transportation in the case of the Coast Guard when it is

of entities so designated may not be revised more frequently than 
semiannually. In making such designations, the Secretary shall designate 
each military welfare society named in paragraph (2) of section 1033(b) 
of this title and may designate any other entity described in paragraph 
(3) of such section. No other entities may be designated.
    (c) Publication of Designated Entities and of Authorized Persons.--A 
designation of an entity under subsection (b), and an authorization 
under subsection (a) of an employee to participate in the management of 
such an entity, shall be published in the Federal Register.

the term ``Secretary concerned'' includes the Secretary of Defense with 
respect to employees of the Department of Defense who are not employees 
of a military department.

Transportation in the case of the Coast Guard when it is not operating
