SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS SRC program is authorized under 
section 808 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 
U.S.C. 3118). The SRCs hold meetings to develop NPS subsistence program 
recommendations and advise on related regulatory proposals and resource 
management issues.
    Each SRC is composed of nine members: (a) Three members appointed 
by the Secretary of the Interior; (b) three members appointed by the 
Governor of the State of Alaska; and (c) three members appointed by a 
Regional Advisory Council (RAC), established pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 
3115, which has jurisdiction within the area in which the park is 
located. Each of the three members appointed by the RAC must be a 
member of either the RAC or a local advisory committee within the 
region who also engages in subsistence uses within the Park or National 
Monument.
    We are now seeking nominations for those three members of each of 
the SRCs listed above. These members are to be appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior.
    Members will be appointed for a term of three years. Members of the 
SRC serve without compensation. However, while away from their homes or 
regular places of business in the performance of services for the SRC, 
and as approved by the Designated Federal Officer (DFO), 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.
    SRC meetings will take place at such times as designated by the 
DFO. Members are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings. 
Members may not appoint deputies or alternates.
    We are seeking nominations for members to represent subsistence 
users on each of the seven SRCs listed above. All those interested in 
serving as members, including current members whose terms are expiring, 
must follow the same nomination process. 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 SRC, and to permit the 
Department to contact a potential member.

    Authority: 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2.

Chief, Office of Policy.
