AGENCY:
ACTION:
Section 302 of Public Law 99–
662 established the Inland Waterways
Users Board. The Board is an
independent Federal advisory
committee. The Secretary of the Army
appoints its 11 (eleven) representative
organizations. This notice is to solicit
nominations for 11 appointments to
two-year terms that will begin after
February 23, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
selection, service, and appointment of
representative organizations to the
Board are covered by provisions of
Section 302 of Public Law 99–662. The
substance of those provisions is as
follows:
a. Selection. Representative
organizations are to be selected from the
spectrum of commercial carriers and
shippers using the inland and
intracoastal waterways, to represent
geographical regions, and to be

representative of waterborne commerce
as determined by commodity ton-miles
and tonnage statistics.
b. Service. The Board is required to
meet at least semi-annually to develop
and make recommendations to the
Secretary of the Army on waterways
construction and rehabilitation
priorities and spending levels for
commercial navigation improvements,
and report its recommendations
annually to the Secretary and Congress.
c. Appointment. The operation of the
Board and appointment of
representative organizations are subject
to the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(Pub. L. 92–463, as amended) and
departmental implementing regulations.
Representative organizations serve
without compensation but their
expenses due to Board activities are
reimbursable. The considerations
specified in Section 302 for the
selection of representative organizations
to the Board, and certain terms used
therein, have been interpreted,
supplemented, or otherwise clarified as
follows:
(1) Carriers and Shippers. The law
uses the terms ‘‘primary users and
shippers.’’ Primary users have been
interpreted to mean the providers of
transportation services on inland
waterways such as barge or towboat
operators. Shippers have been
interpreted to mean the purchasers of
such services for the movement of
commodities they own or control.
Representative firms are appointed to
the Board, and they must be either a
carrier or shipper or both. For that
purpose a trade or regional association
is neither a shipper nor primary user.
(2) Geographical Representation. The
law specifies ‘‘various’’ regions. For the
purposes of the Board, the waterways
subjected to fuel taxes and described in
Public Law 95–502, as amended, have
been aggregated into six regions. They
are (1) the Upper Mississippi River and
its tributaries above the mouth of the
Ohio; (2) the Lower Mississippi River
and its tributaries below the mouth of
the Ohio and above Baton Rouge; (3) the
Ohio River and its tributaries; (4) the
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway in Louisiana
and Texas; (5) the Gulf Intracoastal
Waterway east of New Orleans and
associated fuel-taxed waterways
including the Tennessee-Tombigbee,
plus the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway
below Norfolk; and (6) the ColumbiaSnake Rivers System and Upper
Willamette. The intent is that each
region shall be represented by at least
one representative organization, with
that representation determined by the
regional concentration of the firm’s
traffic on the waterways.

(3) Commodity Representation.
Waterway commerce has been
aggregated into six commodity
categories based on ‘‘inland’’ ton-miles
shown in Waterborne Commerce of the
United States. These categories are (1)
Farm and Food Products; (2) Coal and
Coke; (3) Petroleum, Crude and
Products; (4) Minerals, Ores, and
Primary Metals and Mineral Products;
(5) Chemicals and Allied Products; and
(6) All Other. A consideration in the
selection of representative organizations
to the Board will be that the
commodities carried or shipped by
those firms will be reasonably
representative of the above commodity
categories.
d. Nomination. Reflecting preceding
selection criteria, the current
representation by the ten (10)
organizations whose terms expire
includes all Regions 1–6, all carrier and/
or shipper representation and all
commodity representation.
All ten representative organizations
whose interim terms expire are eligible
for consideration. Individuals, firms or
associations may nominate
representative organizations to serve on
the Board. Nominations will:
(1) Include the commercial operations
of the carrier and/or shipper
representative organization being
nominated. This commercial operations
information will show the actual or
estimated ton-miles of each commodity
carried or shipped on the inland
waterways system in a recent year (or
years), using the waterway regions and
commodity categories previously listed.
(2) State the region(s) to be
represented.
(3) State whether the nominated
representative organization is a carrier,
shipper or both.
(4) Provide the name of an individual
to be the principle person representing
the organization and information
pertaining to their personal
qualifications, to include a bio or a
resume.
Previous nominations received in
response to notices published in the
Federal Register in prior years will not
be retained for consideration.
Renomination of representative
organizations is required.
e. Deadline for Nominations. All
nominations must be received at the
address shown above no later than
October 1, 2012.

constitutes a re-issue of the NOI titled:
Intent To Prepare a Draft Environmental
Impact Statement for the Modification
of the Kissimmee Basin Structure
Operating Criteria published in the
Federal Register on August 3, 2005 (70
FR 44584).
b. The authorities to conduct this
comprehensive analysis were granted
under Section 1135 of the 1986 Water
Resources Development Act (WRDA)
and the 1992 WRDA.
c. Historically, lake levels within the
Kissimmee Chain of Lakes (KCOL)
fluctuated within a range of two to ten
feet. The lakes had limited outflow
capacities and functioned as natural
detention reservoirs, allowing water
storage in the wet season and continual
release of water throughout the year.
Under these natural conditions, lake
levels would rise in the wet season and
overflow to adjoining lands, creating
broad, marshy connections between the
lakes. These marshes were used by fish
and wildlife for spawning and foraging.
