AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Request for nominations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is seeking nominations for 
individuals to represent subsistence users on the following Subsistence 
Resource Commissions (SRC): the Aniakchak National Monument SRC, the 
Cape Krusenstern National Monument SRC, the Gates of the Arctic SRC, 
the Lake Clark National Park SRC, and the Wrangell-St. Elias National 
Park SRC.

DATES: Nominations must be postmarked by February 8, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Nominations should be sent to: Eva Patton, Regional 
Subsistence Program Manager, National Park Service Alaska Regional 
Office, 240 W 5th Avenue, Anchorage, AK 99501, or [email protected], 
or via telephone (907) 644-3601.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eva Patton via telephone at (907) 644-
3601. Individuals in the United States who are deaf, deafblind, hard of 
hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or 
TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay services. Individuals 
outside the United States should use the relay services offered within 
their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in 
the United States.

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 representative members: (a) three

[[Page 67962]]

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 members of each of the 
SRCs listed above. 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 five 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.
