[Public Notice 10162]


U.S. Advisory Panel to the U.S. Section of the North Pacific 
Anadromous Fish Commission (Notice of Renewal)

    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the U.S. 
Advisory Panel to the U.S. Section of the North Pacific Anadromous Fish 
Commission (NPAFC) for another two years.
    The NPAFC was established by the Convention for the Conservation of 
Anadromous Stocks in the North Pacific Ocean, done at February 11, 
1992, and entered into force on February 16, 1993. The members of the 
Commission are Canada, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian 
Federation, and the United States. The U.S. Advisory Panel will 
continue to work with the U.S. Section of the Commission to promote the 
conservation of anadromous fish stocks, particularly salmon, throughout 
their migratory range in the North Pacific Ocean, as well as 
ecologically related species.
    The U.S. Section of the Commission is composed of three 
Commissioners who are appointed by the President. Each Commissioner is 
appointed for a term not to exceed 4 years, but is eligible for 
reappointment. The Secretary of State, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Commerce, may designate alternate commissioners. The 
Advisory Panel to the U.S. Section is composed of 14 members, 11 of 
whom are appointed by the Secretary in consultation with the Secretary 
of Commerce. Advisory Panel members serve for a term not to exceed 4 
years, and may not serve more than two consecutive terms.
    The Advisory Panel will continue to follow the procedures 
prescribed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). Meetings will 
continue to be open to the public unless a determination is made in 
accordance with Section 10 of the Federal Advisory Committee Act and 5 
U.S.C. 552b(c) that a meeting or a portion of the meeting should be 
closed to the public.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the renewal 
of the Advisory Panel, please contact Elana Mendelson, Office of Marine
