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

[[Page 29945]]

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior intends to re-establish the 
National Park System Advisory Board (Board), in accordance with Federal 
Advisory Committee Act. The Secretary has chosen to re-establish the 
Board so that the Board may continue to provide advice to the Secretary 
on matters relating to the National Park Service, the National Park 
System, and programs administered by the National Park Service.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joshua Winchell, Staff Director and 
Designated Federal Officer for the National Park System Advisory Board, 
Office of Policy, National Park Service, [email protected], 202-
513-7053.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board was originally authorized by the 
Historic Sites, Buildings and Antiquities Act of 1935. When that 
authority expired in 2010, the Secretary re-established the Board as a 
discretionary committee. The Board again terminated on January 8, 2023, 
when its charter expired. The Secretary is re-establishing the Board.
    The advice and recommendations provided by the Board fulfill an 
important need within the Department of the Interior and the National 
Park Service, and it is necessary to re-establish the Board to ensure 
its work is not disrupted. The Board's members will be balanced, 
consistent with its charter, to represent a cross-section of 
disciplines and expertise relevant to the National Park Service 
mission. Board members will be selected from regions throughout the 
country.
    Certification: I hereby certify that the re-establishment of the 
National Park System Advisory Board is necessary and in the public 
interest in connection with the performance of duties imposed on the 
Department of the Interior by the National Park Service Organic Act (54 
U.S.C. 100101(a) et seq.), and other statutes relating to the 
administration of the National Park Service.
    Authority: 5 U.S.C. 10.

    Dated: May 2, 2023.
Deb Haaland,
Secretary of the Interior.
