AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of public meetings of the Invasive Species Advisory 
Committee.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee 
Act, notice is hereby given of meetings of the Invasive Species 
Advisory Committee (ISAC). Comprised of 30 nonfederal invasive species 
experts and stakeholders from across the nation, the purpose of the 
Advisory Committee is to provide advice to the National Invasive 
Species Council, as authorized by Executive Order 13112, on a broad 
array of issues related to preventing the introduction of invasive 
species and providing for their control and minimizing the economic, 
ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause. The 
Council is co-chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary 
of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Commerce. The duty of the Council 
is to provide national leadership regarding invasive species issues.
    Purpose of Meeting: The meeting will be held on June 14-16, 2011 in 
Denver, Colorado, and will focus primarily on invaders in the 
intermountain West. The meeting will focus on adapting management of 
invasive species in the vast Rocky Mountain/High Plains region in order 
to gain new understanding of landscape ecology, climate change, land 
development, introduction pathways, and new invaders. ISAC will also 
consult with Western-based scientists and practitioners on problems and 
potential solutions, as well as evaluate on-the-ground issues 
firsthand, thereby determining how management methods

and practices can be adapted in the West to prevent and manage invasive 
species.

June 14, 2011 and Thursday, June 16, 2010; beginning at approximately 8
