SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Paterson Great Falls National Historical 
Park Advisory Commission was established by 16 U.S.C. 410lll(e). The 
purpose of the Commission is to advise the Secretary of the Interior in 
the development and implementation of the management plan.
    The Commission is composed of 9 members, to be appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior, of whom: (i) 4 members shall be appointed 
after consideration of recommendations submitted by the Governor of the 
State of New Jersey; (ii) 4 members shall be appointed after 
consideration of recommendations submitted by the City Council of 
Paterson, New Jersey; (iii) 1 member shall be appointed after 
consideration of recommendations submitted by the Board of Chosen 
Freeholders of Passaic County, New Jersey, and (iv) 2 members shall 
have experience with national parks and historic preservation.
    We are currently requesting nominations for the last of these 
categories.
    Members may be appointed for a term of 3 years. A member may be 
reappointed for not more than 1 additional term.
    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 29, 2016.

Chief, Office of Policy.
