Pacific Whiting Treaty Committees Background

    The Pacific Whiting Act of 2006 (Pacific Whiting Act), 16 U.S.C. 
7001-10, implements the 2003 Agreement between the Government of the 
United States of America and the Government of Canada on Pacific Hake/
Whiting. Among other provisions, the Pacific Whiting Act provides for 
the establishment of an Advisory Panel (AP). The AP advises the Joint 
Management Committee on bilateral Pacific whiting management issues. AP 
members must be knowledgeable or experienced in the harvesting, 
processing, marketing, management, conservation, or research of the 
offshore Pacific whiting resource. Eight individuals represent the 
United States on the AP, and nominations for two of those positions 
(id. at Sec.  7005) are solicited through this notice.
    Members appointed to the U.S. sections of the AP will be reimbursed 
for necessary travel expenses in accordance with Federal Travel 
Regulations and sections 5701, 5702, 5704 through 5708, and 5731 of 
Title 5. (Id. at Sec.  7008). NMFS anticipates that 1-2 meetings of the 
AP will be held annually, and these meetings will be held in the United 
States or Canada. AP members will need a valid U.S. passport.
    The Pacific Whiting Act also states that while performing their 
appointed duties, members ``other than officers or employees of the 
United States Government, shall not be considered to be Federal 
employees while performing such service, except for purposes of injury 
compensation or tort claims liability as provided in chapter 81 of 
title 5 and chapter 171 of title 28.'' (Id.)

committee members can be found at: www.westcoast.fisheries.noaa.gov/fisheries/management/whiting/pacific_whiting_treaty.html.
