Region Subsistence Resource Commission Program

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 Kobuk Valley National Park 
SRC, the Lake Clark National Park SRC, and the Wrangell-St. Elias 
National Park SRC.

DATES: Nominations must be postmarked by April 17, 2024.

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].

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 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 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.
    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. ch. 10.

Alma Ripps,
Chief, Office of Policy.
