charter on August 3, 2010.
    The PAWG is a Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) group which 
develops recommendations and provides advice to the BLM on mitigation, 
monitoring, and adaptive management in the PAPA. The PAWG is governed 
by rules found at 43 CFR 1784 et seq. and FACA provisions at 5 U.S.C. 
App. 2, as amended.
    Additional information about the PAWG, its membership and 
activities, and the nomination process can be found at: http://www.blm.gov/wy/st/en/field_offices/pinedale/pawg.html.

    Nominations for the PAWG seats are being solicited for persons 
representing the following categories:
    1. Archaeological and historical organizations or expertise; or
    2. The affected public-at-large.

    PAWG duties and responsibilities are as follows:
    1. Develop recommendations for the BLM regarding matters relating

Designated Federal Officer, the PAWG may review and analyze 
information, recommend issues for evaluation, and provide advice on the 
issues presented.
    2. Review the implementation of construction and rehabilitation 
operations through an annual field inspection to provide advice to 
ensure that the mitigation measures are reasonable and effective.
    3. Advise the BLM on working with stakeholders to develop or 
enhance resource management programs and objectives.
    4. Make recommendations on future PAWG resource management 
priorities.
