Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 63 / Monday, April 4, 2005 / Notices management activities between Federal and non-Federal entities. The IAC is in the public interest in connection with the duties and responsibilities of the managing agencies for developing an ecosystem management approach that is consistent with statutory authority for land use planning. Ecosystem management requires improved coordination among governmental entities responsible for land management decisions and the public they serve. The chair of the IAC will alternate annually between representatives of the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. The Executive Director, Regional Ecosystem Office, will serve as the Designated Federal Official under sections 10(e) and (f) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.). Any vacancies on the committee will be filled in the manner in which the original appointment was made. A meeting notice will be published in the Federal Register no less than 15 days before a scheduled meeting date. All advisory committee meetings are open to the public and typically include a 15-minute ‘‘public forum’’ for participants to present comments to the advisory committee. Alternates may choose not to be active during this session on the agenda. The chair of the given committee ultimately makes the decision whether to offer time on the agenda for the public to speak to the general body. Renewal of the IAC does not require amendment of Bureau of Land Management or Forest Service planning documents because it does not affect the standards and guidelines or land allocations. The Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service will provide further notice, as needed, for additional actions or adjustments when implementing interagency coordination, public involvement, and other aspects of the ROD. Equal opportunity practices will be followed in all appointments to the advisory committee. To ensure that the recommendations of the IAC have taken into account the needs of diverse groups served by the Departments, membership will, to the extent practicable, include individuals with demonstrated ability to represent minorities, women, and persons with disabilities. Dated: March 30, 2005. John Surina, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Administration.
