Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture have jointly established an 
advisory committee for the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains 
National Monument under the provisions of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act. The purpose of the National Monument Advisory Committee 
(MAC) is to advise the Secretaries with respect to implementation of 
the National Monument Management Plan.
    The MAC holds public meetings at least once per year. The 
Designated Federal Official (DFO), or his/her designee, may convene 
additional meetings as necessary. All MAC members are volunteers 
serving without pay. Members of the MAC may be reappointed upon 
expiration of the member's current term.
    All applicants must be citizens of the United States. Members are 
appointed by the Secretary of the Interior with concurrence by the 
Secretary of Agriculture. Applicants must be qualified through 
education, training, knowledge, or experience to give informed advice 
regarding an industry, discipline, or interest to be represented.
    There is no limit to the number of nomination applications which 
may be submitted for each open position. Current MAC appointees may 
submit an updated nomination application for reappointment. Any 
individual may nominate himself or herself for appointment. Completed 
nomination applications should include letters of reference and/or 
recommendations from the represented interests or organizations, and 
any other information explaining the nominee's qualifications (e.g., 
resume, curriculum vitae).
