DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

Minerals Management Service


Request for Nominations for Public Members to the Royalty Policy 
Committee, Minerals Management Advisory Board

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Request for nominations.

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

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Department of the Interior established a 
Royalty Policy Committee (RPC) on the Minerals Management Advisory 
Board to provide advice on our management of Federal and Indian 
minerals leases, revenues, and other minerals related policies. The RPC 
membership includes representatives from States, Indian Tribes and 
allottee organizations, minerals industry associations, the general 
public, and other Federal departments. Members serve without pay but 
will be reimbursed for travel expenses incurred when attending official 
RPC meetings. Reimbursements will be calculated in accordance with the 
Federal travel regulations as implemented by the Department. Since the 
two public members' terms on the RPC will expire during the first half 
of next year, the Director, Minerals Management Service, is requesting 
nominations. These nominations may originate from State and local 
governments, organizations or individuals, and they may include self-
nominations. Nominees should have the expertise in royalty management 
issues necessary to represent the public interest. The nomination 
package must include an updated copy of the nominee's biography that 
includes their mailing and e-mail addresses, and a letter from the 
nominee accepting the nomination. Since we are committed to the 
Department's diversity policy, nominators are requested to consider 
diversity when making nominations.

DATES: Submit nominations on or before October 30, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Submit nominations to Gary L. Fields, Chief, Program 
Services Office, Royalty Management Program, Minerals Management 
Service, P.O. Box 25165, MS 3006, Denver, CO 80225-0165.
