SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Boston Harbor Islands National 
Recreation Area Advisory Council is a Federal advisory committee 
established by 16 U.S.C. 460kkk(g).
    The objectives and scope of the Council's activities as defined by 
the Act are to represent various groups with interests in the Boston 
Harbor Islands National Recreation Area and make recommendations to the 
Boston Harbor Islands Partnership on issues related to the development 
and implementation of the park's integrated resource management plan.
    The Council is composed of 18 members appointed by the Director to 
three year terms. In accordance with the statute, the Director is to 
appoint no fewer than three individuals to represent each of the 
following categories of entities: (a) Municipalities; (b) educational 
and cultural institutions; (c) environmental organizations; (d) 
business and commercial entities (including those related to 
transportation, tourism and the maritime industry); (e) Boston Harbor 
Islands-related advocacy organizations; and (f) organizations 
representing Native American interests. The chairman is selected by the 
members.
    Each member shall be appointed for a term of three years and may be 
reappointed for not more than two successive terms. A member may serve 
after the expiration of that member's term until a successor has taken 
office.
    We are currently seeking members to represent all categories.
    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 5 U.S.C. 5703.
    Individuals who are Federally registered lobbyists are ineligible 
to serve on all Federal Advisory Committee Act (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 nominations must be compiled and submitted in one complete 
package. Incomplete submissions (missing one or more of the items 
described above) will not be considered.

    Dated: April 28, 2016.

Chief, Office of Policy.
