be balanced to represent a cross-section of disciplines and expertise 
relevant to the National Park Service mission. The administrative 
reestablishment of the Board comports with the requirements of the

follows consultation with the General Services Administration. The 
reestablishment will be effective on the date the charter is filed 
pursuant to section 9(c) of the Act and 41 CFR 102-3.70.
    Certification: I hereby certify that the administrative 
reestablishment of the National Park System Advisory Board is necessary 
and in the public interest in connection with the performance of duties 
imposed on the Department of the Interior by the Act of August 25, 
1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other statutes relating to the
