To enhance detailed technical interchange, the HFE TAG sanctions three categories of subtags: Technical SubTAGs, Committees and Special Interest Groups. Technical SubTAGs address problems of a general or continuing nature within a specific field of technology. Committees address defined tasks or problems and are disestablished upon completion of those tasks. Special Interest Groups address a specific field of technology and may function temporarily or eventually evolve into a Technical SubTAG upon submission and approval of a formal proposed SubTAG charter. SubTAGs, Committees and Special Interest Groups are responsible for developing their own working charters or statements of purpose and are tasked with reporting to the HFE TAG on a regular basis. Membership in the various SubTAGs may include non-government individuals involved in research, development and application in the specific field of technology or topical area addressed by the SubTAG. The association of these individuals with the HFE TAG is limited to SubTAG interaction; they do not attend HFE TAG plenary sessions unless specifically invited by the current HFE TAG Chair.

Chairing of the various SubTAGs is rotated among the SubTAG members, as provided by the individual SubTAG charters.
