    Members of the Committee will be composed of approximately 25 
members from both the Federal Government, and the following interests: 
(1) State and local governments, including state membership entities; 
(2) Non-governmental organizations, including those whose primary 
mission is professional and scientific and those whose primary mission

Academia; (5) Individual landowners; and (6) Business interests.
    In addition, the Committee may include scientific experts, and will 
include rotating representation from one or more of the institutions 
that host the DOI Climate Science Centers.
    The Committee will meet approximately 2-4 times annually, and at 
such times as designated by the DFO. The Secretary of the Interior will 
appoint members to the Committee. Members appointed as special 
Government employees are required to file on an annual basis a
