The
operation of the MRRIC is in the public
interest and provides support to the
Corps in performing its duties and
responsibilities under the Endangered
Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; Sec.
601(a) of the Water Resources
Development Act (WRDA) of 1986,

WRDA 1999, Public Law 106–53, and
Section 5018 of WRDA 2007, Public
Law 110–114. The Federal Advisory
Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, does
not apply to the MRRIC.
A Charter for the MRRIC has been
developed and should be reviewed prior
to applying for a stakeholder
representative membership position on
the Committee. The Charter, operating
procedures, and stakeholder application
forms are available electronically at
https://www.MRRIC.org.
Purpose and Scope of the Committee.
The duties of the MRRIC cover two
areas:
1. The Committee provides guidance
to the Corps, and affected Federal
agencies, State agencies, or Native
American Indian Tribes on a study of
the Missouri River and its tributaries to
determine the actions required to
mitigate losses of aquatic and terrestrial
habitat, to recover federally listed
species protected under the Endangered
Species Act, and to restore the river’s
ecosystem to prevent further declines
among other native species. This study
is identified in Section 5018(a) of the
WRDA. It will result in a single,
comprehensive plan to guide the
implementation of mitigation, recovery,
and restoration activities in the Missouri
River Basin. This plan is referred to as
the Missouri River Ecosystem
Restoration Plan (MRERP). For more
information about the MRERP go to
https://www.MRERP.org.
2. The MRRIC also provides guidance
to the Corps with respect to the
Missouri River recovery and mitigation
plan currently in existence, including
recommendations relating to changes to
the implementation strategy from the
use of adaptive management;
coordination of the development of
consistent policies, strategies, plans,
programs, projects, activities, and
priorities for the Missouri River
recovery and mitigation plan.
Information about the Missouri River
Recovery Program is available at
https://www.MoRiverRecovery.org.
3. Other duties of MRRIC include
