member Science Technical Advisory Panel to coordinate inventories, 
monitoring, and research for a better understanding of terrestrial, 
aquatic, and marine ecosystems of the North Slope of Alaska. The NSSI 
works to minimize duplication of monitoring and research efforts, share 
financial resources and expertise, identify and prioritize information 
needs, and ensure through appropriate peer review that the science 
conducted by participating agencies and organizations is of the highest 
technical quality.
    As an advisory body, the Science Technical Advisory Panel 
represents diverse professions and interests, including the oil and gas 
industry, subsistence users, Alaska Native entities, conservation 
organizations, and academia. A diverse membership helps maintain and 
improve public and agency access to accumulated and ongoing research as 
well as contemporary and traditional local knowledge.
    Duties of the Panel are solely advisory to the Oversight Group. 
Panel members serve for three-year terms, appointed by the Secretary of 
the Interior.
