[[Page 53609]]

meets at least twice annually; meetings may be in person or via 
teleconference/webinar. Committee members serve a four-year term, and 
serve at the discretion of the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans 
and Atmosphere in consultation with the designee of the Secretary of 
the Interior. Members of the Committee are not compensated for their 
time, but their travel expenses associated with attending Committee 
meetings are reimbursed, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703.
    Nominations: The Committee operates according to a Charter and a 
Member Balance Plan. The Member Balance Plan identifies the following 
approximate number of representatives on the Committee:

--Commercial fishing (2)
--Recreational fishing (2)
--Ocean industry (e.g., energy, undersea cables, etc) (2)
--Conservation (3)
--State resource managers (1)
--Tribal and indigenous representatives (2)
--Natural science (2)

    While these numbers are not binding, they provide guidance to 
ensure the maintenance of diverse expertise and perspectives on the 
Committee. Individuals seeking membership on the Committee should 
possess demonstrable expertise in a related field or represent a 
specific stakeholder interest in MPAs. Nominees will also be evaluated 
based on the following factors: Marine policy and management 
experience; leadership and organizational skills, including working 
effectively in diverse groups; region of country represented; and 
member demographics. The Committee's membership reflects the 
Department's commitment to attaining balance and diversity. Members 
will be expected to participate regularly in meetings, report 
preparation and review, and constructive discussion of important and 
timely ocean management issues in the United States.
    Anyone is eligible to nominate; self-nominations will also be 
accepted. Each nomination submission should include: (1) The nominee's 
full name, title, institutional affiliation, and contact information; 
(2) the nominee's area(s) of expertise; (3) a short description of his/
her qualifications relative to the kinds of advice being solicited; and 
(4) a resume or CV not to exceed four pages in length. Individuals 
submitting nominations may choose to include letters of support (no 
more than three) describing the nominee's qualifications and interest 
in serving on the Committee. The intent is to select new members from 
the nominees; however, NOAA retains the discretion to appoint, subject 
to the appropriate procedures, individuals to the Committee who were 
not nominated through the process outlined in this Federal Register 
notice if it deems it is necessary to achieve the desired balance. 
After the membership selection process is complete, applicants who are 
selected to serve on the Committee must complete a security clearance 
through NOAA. Once selected, Committee members' names will be posted 
at: http://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov/fac/. The full text of the 
Committee charter and its current membership can be viewed at the 
Agency's web page at http://marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov.
    Meeting: The focus of the Committee's meeting on Thursday, November

address: Sustaining MPA Benefits in a Changing Ocean; Factors 
Influencing Resilience in MPAs (a Supplementary Report); and, revisions 
and updates to the MPA Center's existing Cultural Heritage Resources 
Tool Kit. Public comment will be accepted during the meeting 
teleconference from 3:10-3:20 p.m. Eastern Time (12:10-12:20 p.m.
