expire, creating approximately 12 membership openings. The Department

enough detail to enable us to make an informed decision regarding 
meeting the membership requirements of the Committee and to contact a 
potential member. Additional information will be requested from those 
selected for final review before appointment. Members selected for 
appointment may identify an alternate who can participate in their 
stead; names of proposed alternates need not be submitted at this time.
    The Department of the Interior is soliciting members for ACCCNRS to 
represent the following interests: (1) State and local governments, 
including state membership entities; (2) Nongovernmental organizations,

and those whose primary mission is conservation and related scientific 
and advocacy activities; (3) American Indian tribes and other Native 
American entities; (4) Academia; (5) Landowners, businesses, and 
organizations representing landowners or businesses.
