SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is publishing this Notice

public nominations for four members on the Gila Box Riparian NCA 
Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee was created through Title 2,

informed advice to the Safford Field Manager on management of public 
lands in the Gila Box Riparian NCA in southeastern Arizona.
    Any individual or organization may nominate one or more persons to 
serve on the Advisory Committee. Persons wishing to nominate themselves 
or other individuals should submit an application form, which is 
available from the BLM Safford Field Office or online at www.az.blm.gov

letter of recommendation that addresses the nominee's qualifications.

Office, 711 14th Avenue, Safford, AZ 85546; call (928) 348-4573; or e-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To ensure membership of the Advisory 
Committee is balanced in terms of categories of interest represented, 
nominees must be qualified to provide advice in specific areas related 
to the primary purposes for which the NCA was created. These include 
wildlife conservation, riparian ecology, hydrology, outdoor recreation, 
watershed management, environmental education, cultural resources, or 
other related disciplines. Committee members are selected by the 
Secretary of the Interior to serve staggered terms of one to three 
years, with terms beginning on the date of appointment. The Advisory 
Committee will meet 2-4 times each year. Members serve without salary, 
but are reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses at current rates 
for government employees.
