    In accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, the Secretary of Labor has determined that the renewal of the

interest consistent with the requirements of title I, section 166(h)(4) 
of the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
    The Council will provide advice to the Assistant Secretary for 
Employment and Training regarding the overall operation and 
administration of the Native American employment and training programs 
authorized under WIA title I, section 166, as well as the

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 issues.

Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians. These members shall be 
appointed by the Secretary from among individuals nominated by Indian 
tribes or Indian, Alaska Native, or Native Hawaiian organizations. An 
equitable geographic distribution will be sought, including 
representation of both tribes and non-tribal Native American 
organizations. Council members shall not be compensated and shall not 
be deemed to be employees of the United States.
    The Council shall 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.
