ACTION: Notice of request for nominees.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of the Interior (Interior) is seeking 
nominations for individuals to be considered as Committee members and/
or alternates to serve on the Advisory Committee on Water Information 
(ACWI).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Adrienne Bartlewitz, Acting ACWI

Drive, Reston, VA 20192. Telephone: 703-648-4304; Fax: 703-648-5002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACWI was established under the authority

01 and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, as amended, (5 U.S.C. App. 
2), and with the concurrence of the General Services Administration.
    Membership represents a wide range of water resources interests and 
functions. The ACWI has a maximum of 35 members. Members will represent 
the interests of water oriented organizations and will be selected from 
among, but not limited to the following groups: Federal agencies, 
professional water-related associations, State and county water-related 
associations, academia, private industry, water utility associations, 
civil engineering societies, watershed and land conservation 
associations, ecological societies, lake, coastal, and ocean 
associations, environmental and educational groups.
    Member organizations designate their representatives and 
alternates. Membership rests not with the individual person but rather 
with the member organization, who names their representative, and 
sometimes an alternate.
    Nominations should include a r[eacute]sum[eacute] 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 
ACWI and permit the Department of the Interior to contact a potential 
member. No individual who is currently registered as a Federal lobbyist 
is eligible to serve as a member of the ACWI.
    The Committee functions solely as an advisory body, and in 
compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Nominations for member organizations should be submitted to the 
Executive Secretary, at the address listed in FOR FURTHER INFORMATION 
CONTACT.
    The purpose of the ACWI is to represent the interests of water-
information users and professionals in advising the Federal Government 
on Federal water-information programs and their effectiveness in 
meeting the Nation's water-information needs. Member organizations help 
to foster communications between the Federal and non-Federal sectors on 
sharing water information.
