SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Park was established by Section 505(a) 
of Public Law 95-625, November 10, 1978, and the Commission was 
established by Section 505(f) of that same law. The Commission was re-
established by Title VII, Subtitle E, Section 7401 of Public Law 111-
11, the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, March 30, 2009. The 
Commission's current termination date is December 18, 2018.
    The purpose of the 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 Commission consists of nine members, each appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior, and four ex officio non-voting members. All 
nine members of the Commission 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 descendants of the race 
inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to the year 1778. At least five 
members must be appointed from nominations provided by native Hawaiian 
organizations. The four ex officio members include the Park 
Superintendent, the Manager, Pacific Islands Office, Pacific West 
Region Honolulu Office, one person appointed by the Governor of Hawaii, 
and one person appointed by the Mayor of the County of Hawaii.
    The Commission's nine voting members are appointed for five-year 
terms. No member may serve more than one term consecutively. The 
Secretary of the Interior designates one member of the Commission to be 
Chairman.
    We are currently seeking nominations provided by native Hawaiian 
organizations.
    Nominations should be typed and must 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 are 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.

Alma Ripps,
Chief, Office of Policy.
