SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Bureau of Land Management's 
(BLM) San Juan Islands National Monument Advisory Committee (MAC) will 
meet as indicated below.

DATES: The MAC will meet on three separate dates in the next two 
months. The meetings on May 28 and June 5 are scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-
4:45 p.m. at the San Juan Island Grange, 152 N 1st Street, Friday

Washington 98250.
    Thursday, May 28, 2015: Meeting discussions will include an update 
on outcomes of the scoping process in March 2015. The MAC will be 
guided through the planning process steps, with definitions of key 
steps, such as Issues Identification. The committee will then review 
the variety of resource comments as well as the list of preliminary 
planning issues developed by the BLM interdisciplinary team. The 
committee will provide recommendations on any modifications to this 
list that they may have. The planning issues are the questions (e.g., 
how should the BLM manage recreation while protecting ecological, 
cultural, and historic values) that the BLM will explore answers to 
through the range of alternative management approaches developed for 
the draft plan.
    Friday, June 5, 2015: This meeting will focus on the ecological 
values within the National Monument for which the BLM will be 
developing alternative management approaches through the planning 
process. BLM resource leads for wildlife, botany, and invasive species 
will be present to share the breadth of considerations and 
opportunities that will be considered in the generation of 
alternatives.
    Tuesday, June 9, 2015: This meeting will focus on cultural and 
historic values within the National Monument for which the BLM will be 
developing alternative management approaches through the planning 
process. The BLM resource lead for cultural and heritage resources will 
be present to introduce the MAC to the requirements for considerations 
and analysis in the generation of alternatives.
