The Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics)

The Secretary of Defense may approve

limitation also applies to any DoD
authorized subcommittees.
Each Committee member is appointed
to provide advice on behalf of the
government on the basis of his or her
best judgment without representing any
particular point of view and in a manner
that is free from conflict of interest.
With DoD approval, the Committee
shall be authorized to establish
subcommittees and panels, as required
and consistent with its mission.
Establishment of subcommittees will be
based upon a written determination, to
include terms of reference, by the
Secretary of Defense, the Deputy
Secretary of Defense or the advisory
committee’s sponsor.
Such subcommittees or panels shall
not work independently of the chartered
Committee, and shall report their
findings and advice solely to the
Committee for full deliberation and
discussion. Subcommittees or working
groups have no authority to make
decisions and recommendation verbally
or in writing on behalf of the chartered
Committee, nor can they report directly
or release documents to the Agency or
any Federal officers or employees not
Committee Members.
All subcommittee members shall be
appointed in the same manner as the
Committee members; that is, the
Secretary of Defense shall appoint
subcommittee members even if the
member in question is already a
Committee member. Subcommittee
members, with the approval of the
Secretary of Defense, may serve a term
of service on the subcommittee of one
to four years; however, no member shall
serve more than two consecutive terms
of service on the subcommittee.

Publication of the Final National

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
Department of Defense.
ACTION: Final Notice.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (Corps), as part of an
interagency effort with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) and the U.S. Department
of Agriculture Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS), is
announcing the availability of the final
2012 National Wetland Plant List
(NWPL). The NWPL is used to
determine whether the hydrophytic
vegetation parameter is met when
conducting wetland determinations
under the Clean Water Act and the
Wetland Conservation Provisions of the
Food Security Act. Other applications of
the list include wetland restoration,
establishment, and enhancement
projects. The list will become effective
on June 1, 2012 and will be used in any
wetland delineation performed after this
date. Delineations received prior to this
date may still use the 1988 list, or you
may chose to use the 2012 list. Prior to
the effective date, please reference
which list was used on any wetland
delineation/determination forms.
DATES: Effective Date: June 1, 2012.

The
NWPL has undergone significant
revisions since its inception in 1988.
The latest review process began in 2008
and concluded with twelve rounds of
review by regional and national panels
and external botanical experts voting on
the wetland indicator statuses and
nomenclature changes of over 8,200
plants. Over 130,000 comments and
votes have been received and reviewed,
and a final list has been compiled.
In response to the January 6, 2011,
Federal Register 76 CFR part 777, the
Corps received 35 written comments (6
percent supported the proposal, 11
percent offered no objections or no
comments on the proposal, 35 percent
expressed opposition to the proposal,
and 48 percent raised technical issues).
In addition, 16,642 votes on 5,315
species were made by 377 individuals
and were recorded on the NWPL Web
site. These 377 people also placed 1,159
technical comments on the Web site.
These represent about 15% of the total
comments and votes received during the
entire review process.
The wetland plant list used for Clean
Water Act purposes was first published
by the FWS in 1988 and contained 6,728
species. The latest list contains 8,200
species, an increase of 1,472 species, or
22 percent. The majority of the increase
in the number of species is a result of
new taxonomic interpretations. The new
list also includes changes in plant
indicator status (OBL, FACW, FAC, and
FACU designations) from 1988 for 807
species, or 12 percent of the list (not
including the new species added to the
list). Because of changes in geographic
boundaries between the former FWS 88
List and the updated list, these numbers
are reasonable estimates but are not
exact. The specific break-out of changes
were: 35 percent (282 species) were
rated wetter, 36 percent (290 species)
were rated drier and the remaining 30
percent (235 species) were changes to
the former FAC-group. The updating
procedures designated a more stringent
review of the former 1988 FAC-species.
Of these former FAC-species, half were
rated FACU and the other half was rated
as FAC by a panel of 30 external
professional botanists across all regions.
Thus, the overall distribution of changes
was nearly an equal split between
species that received wetter ratings and
those that received drier ratings.
The response to the technical
comments can be found at: https://
wetland_plants.usace.army.mil/. Policylevel comments are summarized below.
