SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical 
Park and the Advisory Commission were established by Public Law 95-625, 
November 10, 1978, as amended.
    The purpose of the Advisory Commission is to advise the Director of 
the National Park Service with respect to the historical, 
archeological, cultural, and interpretive programs of the Park. The 
Commission is to afford particular emphasis to the quality of 
traditional native Hawaiian cultural practices demonstrated in the 
Park.
    The Advisory Commission consists of nine members, each appointed by 
the Secretary of the Interior, and four ex officio non-voting members. 
All nine Secretarial appointees must be residents of the State of 
Hawaii, and at least six of those appointees must be native Hawaiians. 
Native Hawaiians are defined as any lineal descendents of the race 
inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to the year 1778. At least five 
members will be appointed from nominations received from Native 
Hawaiian organizations to represent the interests of those 
organizations. The other four members will represent other Native 
Hawaiian interests. The nine voting members will be appointed for 5-
year terms.
    The four ex officio members include the Park Superintendent, the 
Pacific West Regional Pacific Islands Director, one person appointed by 
the Governor of Hawaii, and one person appointed by the Mayor of the 
County of Hawaii. The Secretary of the Interior shall designate one 
member of the Commission to be Chairman.
    No member may serve more than one term consecutively. Any vacancy 
in the Commission shall be filled by appointment for the remainder of 
the term.
    We are currently seeking nominations five nomination as follows: 
(1) Three members to represent Native Hawaiian interests and (2) two 
members from nominations received from Native

Hawaiian organizations to represent the interests of those 
organizations.
    Nominations should be typed and must include each of the following:
    A. Brief summary of no more than two (2) pages explaining the 
nominee's suitability to serve on the Commission.
    B. Resume or curriculum vitae.
    C. At least one (1) letter of reference.
    Members of the Commission will receive no pay, allowances, or 
benefits by reason of their service on the Commission. However, while 
away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance 
of services for the Commission as approved by the Designated Federal 
Officer, members will be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in 
lieu of subsistence, in the same manner as persons employed 
intermittently in Government service are allowed such expenses under 
Section 5703 of Title 5 of the United States Code.
    Individuals who are Federally registered lobbyists are ineligible 
to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an 
individual capacity. The term ``individual capacity'' refers to 
individuals who are appointed to exercise their own individual best 
judgment on behalf of the government, such as when they are designated 
Special Government Employees, rather than being appointed to represent 
a particular interest.
    All required documents must be compiled and submitted in one 
complete nomination package. Incomplete submissions (missing one or 
more of the items described above) will not be considered.
    Nominations should be postmarked no later than July 13, 2015, to
