SUMMARY: The Department of
Agriculture, in consultation with the
Department of the Interior, intends to
renew the Intergovernmental Advisory
Committee (IAC). This renewal is in
response to the continued need for the
IAC to provide intergovernmental
advice on coordinating the
implementation of the Record of
Decision of April 13, 1994, for
Management of Habitat for LateSuccessional and Old-Growth Forest
Related Species Within the Range of the
Northern Spotted Owl. The IAC also
provides advice and recommendations
to promote integration and coordination
of forest management activities between
Federal and non-Federal entities.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the April 13,
1994, Record of Decision can be
obtained electronically at https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(5 U.S.C. App.), notice is hereby given
that the Department of Agriculture, in
consultation with the Department of the
Interior, intends to renew the
Intergovernmental Advisory Committee
(IAC) to the Regional Interagency
Executive Committee (RIEC). The
purpose of the RIEC is to facilitate the
coordinated implementation of the
Record of Decision (ROD) signed April
13, 1994, for Management of Habitat for
Late-Successional and Old-Growth
Forest Related Species Within the Range
of the Northern Spotted Owl. The RIEC
consists of representatives of the
following Federal agencies: Forest
Service, Natural Resources Conservation
Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Bureau of Land Management, National
Marine Fisheries Service, National Park
Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
U.S. Geological Survey Biological
Resources Division, Environmental
Protection Agency, and U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers. The purpose of the
IAC is to advise the RIEC on
coordinating the implementation of the
ROD. The IAC will provide advice and
recommendations to promote
integration and coordination of forest

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.
