SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act (5 U.S.C. App.), notice is hereby given that the Secretary of 
Agriculture has renewed the charter of the Lake Tahoe Basin Federal 
Advisory Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to provide advice 
to the Secretary of Agriculture and to the Federal Interagency 
Partnership on how the Partnership can best fulfill its duties to 
protect the extraordinary natural, recreational, and ecological 
resources in the Lake Tahoe Region. The Partnership was established in 
accordance with Executive Order 13057, ``Federal Actions in the Lake 
Tahoe Region.'' The Secretary has determined that the work of the 
Committee is in the public interest and relevant to the duties of the 
Department of Agriculture.
    The Committee will meet on a quarterly basis, conduct public 
meetings to discuss management strategies, gather information about and 
review Federal agency accomplishments, and prepare a progress report 
every 6 months for submission to regional Federal executives. Three 
members of the Committee have been selected as members-at-large. The 
others have been selected to represent each of the following interests: 
Gaming, environmental, national environmental, ski resorts, North Shore 
economic/recreation, South Shore economic/recreation, resort 
associations, education, property rights advocates, science and 
research, local government, Washoe Tribe, State of California, State of 
Nevada, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, labor, and transportation. The 
Committee Chair will be recommended by the Committee and approved by 
the Secretary. A vacancy on the Committee will be filled in the manner 
in which the original appointment was made.
    The Secretary of Agriculture appoints the members to the Committee. 
In line with USDA policies, equal opportunity practices are followed in 
all appointments to the Committee. To ensure that the recommendations 
of the Committee have taken into account the needs of the diverse 
groups served by the Department, membership includes to the extent 
practicable individuals with demonstrated ability to represent 
minorities, women, persons with disabilities, and senior citizens.

    Dated: June 12, 2000.
