Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Work Group (AMWG), Notice of 
Meeting

AGENCY: Bureau of Reclamation, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of conference call.

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

SUMMARY: The Adaptive Management Program (AMP) was implemented as a 
result of the Record of Decision on the Operation of Glen Canyon Dam 
Final Environmental Impact Statement to comply with consultation 
requirements of the Grand Canyon Protection Act (P.L. 102-575) of 1992. 
The AMP provides an organization and process to ensure the use of 
scientific information in decision making concerning Glen Canyon Dam 
operations and protection of the affected resources consistent with the 
Grand Canyon Protection Act. The AMP has been organized and includes a 
federal advisory committee (AMWG), a technical work group (TWG), a 
monitoring and research center, and independent review panels. The TWG 
is a subcommittee of the AMWG and provides technical advice and 
information for the AMWG to act upon.

DATES: The AMWG will conduct the following conference call:
    Thursday, January 29, 2004. The conference call will begin at 9 
a.m. and conclude at 11 a.m. Mountain Time.
    Agenda: The purpose of the conference call will be to: (1) seek 
feedback from the AMWG on Western Area Power Administration's proposal 
to modify the experimental flows during January-March of 2004; and (2) 
identify proposed changes in the use of remote sensing to monitor 
resources in the Colorado River ecosystem beginning in 2004 and seek 
feedback from the AMWG.
    Due to a need to present the above information for discussion at 
the Adaptive Management Work Group Meeting on March 3-4, 2004, this 
notice may be published in a shorter time period than normally required 
by the Federal Advisory Committee Act. However, an e-mail message will

participation on the conference call.
