Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission; Establishment

AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Establishment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is giving notice of its intent 
to establish the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission in 
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (PL 92-463, 86 Stat. 
770, 5 U.S.C. Appx., section 10).
    The Commission was originally established by Section 8 of PL 87-
126, August 7, 1961. It was reestablished by PL 99-349, Amendment 24, 
July 2, 1986, and extended to May 31, 1996, by PL 99-420, September 25, 
1986. Because the need for the Commission is expected to continue 
indefinitely, the National Park Service is administratively re-
establishing the Commission in the same form as it has existed under 
its expired statutory authority. In this way the Commission may 
continue its work without interruption.
    The purpose of the Commission is to consult with the Secretary of 
the Interior, or the Secretary's designee, with respect to matters 
relating to the development of the Cape Cod National Seashore, and with 
respect to carrying out the provisions of sections 4 and 5 of the Act 
establishing the Seashore.
    Composition: The Commission is to consist of 10 members as follows:
    (1) Six members appointed from recommendations made by each of the 
boards of selectmen of the towns of Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans, 
Chatham, and Provincetown, Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
    (2) One member to be appointed from recommendations of the county 
commissioners of Barnstable County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
    (3) Two members to be appointed from recommendations of the 
Governor

of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and
    (4) One member to be appointed at the discretion of the Secretary.
    Copies of the Commission's charter will be filed with the 
appropriate committees of Congress and with the Library of Congress in 
accordance with section 9(c) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act 
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. appx.
    NPS invites any interested person to comment on the proposal to 
establish this Commission.
    Records of Meetings: In accordance with the requirements of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Appx. 1988, the NPS will keep 
a record of all Commission meetings.
    Administrative Support: To the extent authorized by law, the NPS 
will fund the costs of the Commission and provide administrative 
support and technical assistance for the activities of the Commission.
    Certification: I hereby certify that the administrative 
establishment of the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission is 
necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance 
of duties imposed on the Department of the Interior by the Act of 
August 25, 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other statutes relating to 
the administration of the National Park System.

    Dated: June 20, 1996.
