Advisory Committee (ISAC) advises
NISC. NISC is requesting nominations
for individuals to serve on the ISAC.
NISC provides high-level
interdepartmental coordination of
Federal invasive species actions and
works with other Federal and nonFederal groups to address invasive
species issues at the national level.
NISC duties, as outlined in EO 13112
are to: Oversee implementation of EO
13112, while working to ensure that the
Federal agency activities concerning
invasive species are coordinated,
complementary, cost-efficient, and
effective; encourage planning and action
at local, tribal, state, regional, and
ecosystem-based level to achieve
strategic goals; develop
recommendations for international
cooperation; work with the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ) to develop
guidance to Federal Agencies pursuant
to the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA); facilitate development of a
coordinated network among Federal
Agencies to document, evaluate, and
monitor invasive species impacts; and
prepare, issue (implement), and update
a National Invasive Species
Management Plan (Management Plan).
ISAC is chartered under the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA; 5
U.S.C. App. 2). At the request of NISC,
ISAC provides advice to NISC member
Departments and Agencies on topics
related to NISC’s aforementioned duties.
As a multi-stakeholder advisory
committee, ISAC is intended to play a
key role in recommending plans and
actions to be taken at local, tribal, State,
regional, and ecosystem-based levels to
achieve the goals and objectives of the
Management Plan. It is hoped that,
collectively, ISAC will represent the
views of the broad range of individuals
and communities knowledgeable of and
affected by invasive species.
Prospective members of ISAC need to
have substantial expertise in the
prevention, eradication, and/or control
of invasive species, as well as to
demonstrate a high degree of capacity
for: advising individuals in leadership
positions, team work, project
management, tracking relevant Federal
government programs and policy
making procedures, and networking
with and representing their peercommunity of interest. ISAC members
need not be scientists. Membership from
a wide range of disciplines and
professional sectors is encouraged. At
this time, we are particularly interested
in applications from representatives of
tribes, states, non-governmental
organizations, the private sector, and
large-scale land management entities
(urban and rural).

After consultation with the other
members of NISC, the Secretary of the
Interior will appoint members to ISAC.
NISC will select members based on their
individual qualifications, as well as the
overall need to achieve a balanced
representation of viewpoints, subject
matter expertise, regional knowledge,
and representation of communities of
interests. ISAC member terms are
limited to three (3) years from their date
of appointment to ISAC. Following
completion of their first term, an ISAC
member may request consideration for
reappointment to an additional term.
Reappointment is not guaranteed.
Typically, the ISAC meets twice per
year (spring and fall). Between these
meetings, ISAC members are expected
to participate in committee work via
conference calls and email exchanges.
Members of the ISAC and its
subcommittees serve without pay.
However, while away from their homes
or regular places of business in the
performance of services of the ISAC,
members may be reimbursed for travel
expenses, including per diem in lieu of
subsistence, in the same manner as
persons employed intermittently in the
government service, as authorized by
section 5703 of title 5, United States
Code. Employees of the Federal
Government ARE NOT eligible for
nomination or appointment to ISAC.
Individuals who are federally registered
lobbyists are ineligible to serve on all
FACA and non-FACA boards,
committees, or councils in an individual
capacity. The term ‘‘individual
capacity’’ refers to individuals who are
appointed to exercise their own
individual best judgment on behalf of
the government, such as when they are
designated Special Government
Employees, rather than being appointed
to represent a particular interest.
Nominations should include a resume
providing an adequate description of the
nominee’s qualifications, including
information that would enable the
Department of the Interior to make an
informed decision regarding meeting the
membership requirements of the
Committee and permit the Department
of the Interior to contact a potential
member.
Any interested person or entity may
nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on the
ISAC. Self-nominations are also
accepted. Persons or entities submitting
nomination packages on the behalf of
others must confirm that the
individual(s) is/are aware of their
nomination. Nominations must be
postmarked no later than November 30,
2015 to Jamie K. Reaser, Executive
Director, National Invasive Species

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
This notice identifies an information
collection activity that the Office of
Financial Management has submitted to
OMB for approval for the Department

information from proposed donors
relative to their relationship(s) with the

individual bureaus have gift acceptance

is the policy of the Department to ask

in conformance with the Department’s
donations policy. The form is completed
and certified by the prospective donor
