    The Board is comprised of 13 members appointed for 4-year terms, as 
follows: (a) one member serving as the Secretary's designee; (b) six 
members who represent appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, 
State and local historic preservation commissions, and other public and 
international organizations; and (c) six members on the basis of 
outstanding professional qualifications who represent major 
organizations in the fields of archeology, architecture, conservation, 
curation, engineering, history, historic preservation, landscape 
architecture, planning, or preservation education.
    We are currently seeking one member serving as the Secretary's 
designee; and members appointed on the basis of outstanding 
professional qualifications who represent major organizations in the 
fields of archeology, architecture, conservation, curation, 
engineering, history, historic preservation, landscape architecture, 
planning, or preservation education.
    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 
Board and permit the Department of the Interior to contact a potential 
member.
    Members of the Board serve without compensation. However, while 
away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance 
of services for the Board 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 Federal Advisory Committee Act (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.
