SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission was established by section

accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 
1-16). The Commission advises the Secretary and the NPS on matters 
relating to the management and development of Acadia National Park, 
including but not limited to, the acquisition of lands and interests in 
lands (including conservation easements on islands) and the termination 
of rights of use and occupancy.
    The Commission is composed of 16 members appointed by the 
Secretary, as follows:
    (a) Three members at large; (b) three members appointed from among 
individuals recommended by the Governor of Maine; (c) four members 
appointed from among individuals recommended by each of the four towns 
on the island of Mount Desert; (d) three members appointed from among 
individuals recommended by each of the three Hancock County mainland 
communities of Gouldsboro, Winter Harbor, and Trenton, and; (e) three 
members appointed from among individuals recommended by each of the 
three island towns of Cranberry Isles, Swans Island, and Frenchboro.
    The NPS is seeking nominees for the three members at large. Fifteen 
member terms will end on February 19, 2019. This notice also informs 
the public about other opportunities for nominations to represent the 
Governor of Maine or local municipalities that will have vacancies in 
February. Nominations received by the park will be sent directly to 
either the Governor's office or local municipalities for their 
consideration.
    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 to contact a potential member. All 
documentation, including letters of recommendation, must be compiled 
and submitted in one complete package. All those interested in 
membership, including current members whose terms are expiring, must 
follow the same nomination process. Members may not appoint deputies or 
alternates.
    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 Committee as approved by the NPS, 
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.
    Public Disclosure of Information: Before including your address, 
phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information 
with your nomination, you should be aware that your entire nomination--
including your personal identifying information--may be made publicly 
available at any time. While you can ask us in your nomination to 
withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we 
cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.
