statutorily reauthorized several times
since then. However, the Board’s
statutory authorization expired January
1, 2009. The advice and
recommendations provided by the
Board and its subcommittees fulfill an
important need within the Department
of the Interior and the National Park
Service, and it therefore is necessary to
administratively reestablish the Board to
ensure that its work is not disrupted.
The Board’s 12 members will 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 Federal Advisory Committee Act,
as amended (5 U.S.C., Appendix), and
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 administration of
the National Park System.
Dated: January 12, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction
With this notice, we initiate our
process for developing a CCP for White
River NWR in Desha, Monroe, Arkansas,
and Phillips Counties, Arkansas.
This notice complies with our CCP
policy to (1) advise other federal and
state agencies, tribes, and the public of
our intention to conduct detailed
planning on this refuge; and (2) obtain
suggestions and information on the
scope of issues to consider in the
environmental document and during
development of the CCP.
Background
The CCP Process
The National Wildlife Refuge System
Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C.
668dd–668ee) (Improvement Act),
which amended the National Wildlife
Refuge System Administration Act of
1966, requires us to develop a CCP for
each national wildlife refuge. The
purpose in developing a CCP is to
provide refuge managers with a 15-year
strategy for achieving refuge purposes
and contributing to the mission of the
National Wildlife Refuge System,
consistent with sound principles of fish
and wildlife management, conservation,
legal mandates, and our policies. In
addition to outlining broad management
direction on conserving wildlife and
their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
