National Park System Advisory Board Re-establishment

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Re-establishment of the National Park System Advisory 
Board.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior intends to re-establish the 
National Park System Advisory Board. This action is necessary and in 
the public interest in connection with the performance of statutory 
duties imposed upon the Department of the Interior and the National 
Park Service.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Shirley S. Smith, 202-208-7160.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Board was established initially by 
section 3 of the Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 667; 16 U.S.C. 463), 
and has been in existence almost continuously since then. Pursuant to 
Public Law 111-8, the legislative authorization will expire January 1, 
2010. However, due to the importance of the issues on which the Board 
advises, in the event the Board is not extended by legislation prior to 
that termination date, the Secretary of the Interior intends to 
exercise the authority contained in Section 3 of Public Law 91-383 (16 
U.S.C. 1a-2(c)) to re-establish and continue the Board as a 
discretionary committee from January 1, 2010, until such time as it may 
be legislatively reauthorized. If the Board is renewed legislatively 
after January 1, 2010, the discretionary Board will revert to a 
legislative Board.
    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 is necessary to re-
establish the Board to ensure its work is not disrupted. The Board's 
twelve members will be balanced to represent a cross-section of 
disciplines and expertise relevant to the National Park Service 
mission. The re-establishment 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.
    Certification: I hereby certify that the re-establishment 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.

Secretary of the Interior.
