SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Public Law 107-373 established the Cedar 
Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park. Section 9(a) of that 
law established the Advisory Commission. The Commission was designated 
by Congress to provide advice to the Secretary of the Interior on the 
preparation and implementation of the park's general management plan 
and to advise on land protection.
    The Commission consists of 15 members appointed by the Secretary, 
as follows: (a) 1 representative from the Commonwealth of Virginia; (b) 
1 representative each from the local governments of Strasburg, 
Middletown, Frederick County, Shenandoah County, and Warren County; (c) 
2 representatives of private landowners within the Park; (d) 1 
representative from a citizen interest group; (e) 1 representative from 
the Cedar Creek Battlefield Foundation; (f) 1 representative from the 
Belle Grove, Incorporated; (g) 1 representative from the National Trust 
for Historic Preservation; (h) 1 representative from the Shenandoah 
Valley Battlefields

[[Page 81356]]

Foundation; (i) 1 ex-officio representative from the National Park 
Service; and (j) 1 ex-officio representative from the United States 
Forest Service.
    Each member shall be appointed for a term of three years and may be 
reappointed for not more than two successive terms. A member may serve 
after the expiration of that member's term until a successor has taken 
office. The Chairperson of the Commission shall be elected by the 
members to serve a term of one year renewable for one additional year.
    We are currently seeking members to represent the Town of 
Strasburg, Shenandoah County, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and private 
landowners within the Park.
    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 
Commission and permit the Department of the Interior to contact a 
potential member.
    Members of the Commission serve without compensation. However, 
while away from their homes or regular places of business in the 
performance of services for the Commission as approved by the 
Designated Federal Officer, 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.
    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.
    All nominations must be compiled and submitted in one complete 
package. Incomplete submissions (missing one or more of the items 
described above) will not be considered.

    Dated: December 15, 2015.

Chief, Office of Policy.
