SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The McInnis Canyons National Conservation

Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area and Black Ridge Wilderness 
Act of 2000 (Act). The Act also required that an Advisory Council be 
established to provide advice in the preparation and implementation of 
the Resource Management Plan. The NCA name was congressionally changed 
at the end of 2004 from Colorado Canyons National Conservation Area to 
McInnis Canyons National Conservation Area (MCNCA). The Resource 
Management Plan has been completed and is now being implemented. The 
agenda topics for the January meeting are:

(1) River Corridor Fee/Permit Management Resolution
(2) River Corridor Monitoring Plan
(3) Future Role of Advisory Council
(4) Managers Update
(5) Advisory Council field trip schedules
(6) Public Comment period

    Similar agenda items will be addressed at the July meeting. All 
meetings will be open to the public and will include time for public 
comment. Interested persons may make oral statements at the meetings or 
submit written statements at any meeting. Per-person time limits for 
oral statements may be set to allow all interested persons to speak.
