Native American Employment and Training Council; Renewal

    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, the Secretary of Labor has determined that the renewal of the 
Native American Employment and Training Council is in the public 
interest consistent with the requirements of title IV, section 
401(k)(1) of the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA).
    The Council will provide advice to the Assistant Secretary for 
Employment and Training regarding the overall operation and 
administration of Native American programs authorized under title IV, 
section 401, as amended, as well as the implementation of other 
programs providing services to Native American youth and adults under 
this Act. The Assistant Secretary views the Council as the primary 
vehicle to accomplish the Department's commitment to work in 
partnership with the Indian and Native American community on employment 
and training concerns.
    The Council shall consist of no less than 17 Indians, Alaskan 
Natives, and Hawaiian Natives appointed by the Secretary from among 
individuals nominated by Indian tribes or Indian, Alaskan Native, or 
Hawaiian Native organizations. An equitable geographic distribution 
will be sought, in addition to appropriate representation of both 
tribes and non-tribal organizations. The members shall not be 
compensated and shall not be deemed to be employees of the United 
States.
    The Council will function solely as an advisory body, and in 
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Its charter will be filed under the Act 15 days from the date of this 
publication.
    Interested persons are invited to submit comments regarding the 
renewal of the Native American Employment and Training Council. Such 
comments should be addressed to: Mr. Thomas M. Dowd, Chief, Division of
