SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pinedale Anticline Working Group (PAWG) 
was authorized and established with release of the Record of Decision 
(ROD) for the Pinedale Anticline Oil and Gas Exploration and 
Development Project on July 27, 2000. The PAWG advises the BLM on the 
development and implementation of monitoring plans and adaptive 
management decisions as development of the Pinedale Anticline Natural 
Gas Field (PAPA) proceeds for the life of the field. After the ROD was 
issued, Interior determined that a Federal Advisory Committees Act 
(FACA) charter was required for this group. The charter was signed by 
Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, on August 15, 2002, and renewed 
on August 13, 2004. An announcement of committee initiation and call 
for nominations was published in the Federal Register on February 21, 
2003, (68 FR 8522). PAWG members were appointed by Secretary Norton on 
May 4, 2004.
    At their second business meeting, the PAWG established seven 
resource-or activity-specific Task Groups, including one for cultural 
and historic. Public participation on the Task Groups was solicited 
through the media, letters, and word-of-mouth.
    The agenda for these meetings will include information gathering 
and discussion related to implementation and funding of the adopted 
cultural and historic resources monitoring plan for the Pinedale 
Anticline gas field. At a minimum, public comments will be heard just 
prior to adjournment of the meeting.

    Dated: January 13, 2005.

Field Office Manager.
