DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE

Forest Service


California Coast Provincial Advisory Committee (PAC)

AGENCY: Forest Service, USDA.

ACTION: Request for nominations of people to serve on the California 
Coast Provincial Advisory Committee.

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

SUMMARY: The federal government interagency group responsible for 
implementing the Northwest Forest Plan (NFP) in the California Coast 
Province is seeking nominations for persons to fill two vacant 
positions on the California Coast Provincial Advisory Committee 
(CCPAC)--one to represent the large forest products industry, and one 
to represent tourism interests to help achieve the implementation of 
the NFP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CCPAC works with federal agencies to 
implement the NFP on federal lands in the California Coast Province. 
The advisory committee provides advice to the Province Interagency 
Executive Committee (PIEC) regarding implementation of a comprehensive 
ecosystem management strategy for federal lands within the province. 
While the boundary of the province includes whole river drainages for 
broad ecosystem planning, the purpose of the PAC is to assist in 
implementing the NFP, which is limited to federal lands within the 
range of the northern spotted owl. Advisory committee recommendations 
are not legally binding and will not supersede the legally established 
decision authority granted to the federal agencies involved. All 
advisory committee meetings are open to the public. Interested citizens 
may request time on the agenda to address the committee. All papers and 
documents used by the committee, including meeting minutes, are 
available to the public.
    Applicants must be United States citizens, at least 18 years old, 
and will be recommended for appointment based on their personal 
knowledge of local and regional resource issues, and understanding of 
public land uses and activities; willingness to work toward mutually 
beneficial solutions to complex issues; respect and credibility in 
local communities; and commitment to attending advisory committee 
meetings held for the province.
    Advisory committee members must be willing to travel to meetings 
held throughout the province. Members will serve without pay, but 
reimbursement of travel and per diem is allowed for attendance at 
meetings called by the Chairperson of the advisory committee.

DATES: The due date for receipt of the nominations is August 15, 2000.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Individuals with questions about the 
process or wishing to submit nominations for one of the positions 
should contact one of the following for a nomination packet: James 
Fenwood, Forest Supervisor, or Phebe Brown, Province Coordinator; USDA,
