(NAGPRA), at 25 U.S.C. 3006, 5 U.S.C. Appendix 2.
    The Review Committee is responsible for:
    1. Monitoring the NAGPRA inventory and identification process;
    2. reviewing and making findings related to the identity or 
cultural affiliation of cultural items, or the return of such items;
    3. facilitating the resolution of disputes;
    4. compiling an inventory of culturally unidentifiable human 
remains and developing a process for disposition of such remains;
    5. consulting with Indian tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations 
and museums on matters within the scope of the work of the Review 
Committee affecting such tribes or organizations;
    6. consulting with the Secretary of the Interior in the development 
of regulations to carry out NAGPRA; and
    7. making recommendations regarding future care of repatriated 
cultural items.
    The Review Committee consists of seven members appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior. The Secretary may not appoint Federal 
officers or employees to the Review Committee. Three members are 
appointed from nominations submitted by Indian tribes, Native Hawaiian 
organizations, and traditional Native American religious leaders. At 
least two of these members must be traditional Indian religious 
leaders. Three members are appointed from nominations submitted by

year terms and incumbent members may be reappointed for 2-year terms. 
The Review Committee's work takes place during public meetings. The 
Review Committee normally meets in person two times per year, normally 
for two or three days. The Review Committee may also hold one or more 
public teleconferences of several hours duration.
    Review Committee members serve without pay but shall be reimbursed

Review Committee's charter, meeting protocol, and dispute resolution 
procedures, is available on the National NAGPRA Program Web site, at 
www.nps.gov/NAGPRA/REVIEW/.
    Individuals who are federally registered lobbyists are ineligible 
to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an 
individual capacity. The term ``individual capacity'' refers to 
individuals who are appointed to exercise their own individual best 
judgment on behalf of the government, such as when they are designated 
Special Government Employees, rather than being appointed to represent 
a particular interest.

    1. Be submitted on the official letterhead of the organization.
    2. Affirm that the signatory is the official authorized by the 
organization to submit the nomination.

scope.

telephone number, and email address.
    5. Include the nominee's resume or a brief biography of the 
nominee, in which the nominee's NAGPRA experience and ability to work 
as a member of a Federal advisory committee are addressed.
