    Each member shall be appointed for a term of three years. A member 
may serve after the expiration of that member's term until a successor 
has taken office. The Chairperson of the Commission shall be elected by 
the members.
    We are currently seeking members representing Mount Joy Township, 
Straban Township, and the State Historic Preservation Office of the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
    Nominations should be typed and should include a resume providing 
an adequate description of the nominee's qualifications, including 
information that would enable the Department of the Interior to make an 
informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements of the 
Commission and permit the Department of the Interior to contact a 
potential member.
    Members of the Commission serve without compensation. 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 may 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, 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.

Chief, Office of Policy.
