SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 U.S.C. 1445a) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to establish advisory councils to advise and make recommendations regarding the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. NOAA is establishing a new sanctuary advisory council for the proposed national marine sanctuary in Lake Erie to serve as a liaison with the local community and provide guidance and advice to ONMS regarding the designation. The advisory council for the proposed sanctuary in Lake Erie was not established when ONMS published its annual announcement on May 24, 2024 that was advertising to fill vacant seats on the other 17 councils (89 FR 45854). Therefore, ONMS is adding the new advisory council to the list of sites with open vacancies and announcing that it is soliciting applications to fill the council’s seats. Applications are due Wednesday, August 28, 2024. In the following Supplementary Information section, NOAA provides details regarding ONMS, the role of advisory councils, and contact information for the Proposed Lake Erie National Marine Sanctuary. II. Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS) ONMS serves as the trustee for a network of underwater parks encompassing more than 620,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes waters from Washington state to the Florida Keys, and from Lake Huron to American Samoa. The network includes a system of 16 national marine sanctuaries and E:\FR\FM\10JYN1.SGM 10JYN1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 132 / Wednesday, July 10, 2024 / Notices ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with NOTICES1 the Papahānaumokuākea and Rose Atoll marine national monuments. National marine sanctuaries protect our nation’s most vital coastal and marine natural and cultural resources, and through active research, management, and public engagement, sustain healthy environments that are the foundation for thriving communities and stable economies. One of the many ways ONMS ensures public participation in the designation and management of national marine sanctuaries is through the formation of advisory councils. Advisory councils are community-based groups established to provide advice and recommendations to ONMS on issues including management, science, service, and stewardship, as well as to serve as liaisons between their constituents in the community and the site. Pursuant to Section 315(a) of the NMSA, advisory councils are exempt from the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Additional information on ONMS and its advisory councils can be found at https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov. III. Advisory Council Membership Under section 315a(b) of the NMSA, advisory council members may be appointed from among: (1) Persons employed by federal or state agencies with expertise in natural resources management; (2) members of relevant regional fishery management councils; and (3) representatives of local user groups, conservation and other public interest organizations, scientific organizations, educational organizations, or others interested in the protection and multiple use management of sanctuary resources. 16 U.S.C. 1455a(b). The charter for each advisory council defines the number and type of seats and positions on the council. The advisory council charter for the proposed national marine sanctuary in Lake Erie identifies the following initial, non-governmental voting seat types: citizen-at-large; commercial/charter fishing; divers, dive clubs, and archaeology; economic development; education (K–12); higher education; historically underserved populations; history/maritime heritage and public interpretation; maritime industry; outdoor recreation; recreational fishing; research, science and technology; and tourism and marketing.

This could involve multiple Nations and Tribes. Nations and Tribes interested in participating in the advisory council should contact the NOAA representative identified in the ADDRESSES section. Participation on the council does not take the place of government-togovernment consultation nor does it serve as the only opportunity for engagement between NOAA and federally recognized Indigenous Nations and Tribes. For each of the existing advisory councils, applicants are chosen based upon their particular expertise and experience in relation to the seat for which they are applying; community and professional affiliations; views regarding the protection and management of marine or Great Lakes resources; and possibly the length of residence in the area affected by the site. Council members and alternates for the proposed Lake Erie National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council serve threeyear terms or until a post-designation sanctuary advisory council is established, as reflected in the signed charter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 315 of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act (NMSA) (16 
U.S.C. 1445a) authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to establish 
advisory councils to advise and make recommendations regarding the 
designation and management of national marine sanctuaries. NOAA is 
establishing a new sanctuary advisory council for the proposed national 
marine sanctuary in Lake Erie to serve as a liaison with the local 
community and provide guidance and advice to ONMS regarding the 
designation. The advisory council for the proposed sanctuary in Lake 
Erie was not established when ONMS published its annual announcement on 
May 24, 2024 that was advertising to fill vacant seats on the other 17 
councils (89 FR 45854). Therefore, ONMS is adding the new advisory 
council to the list of sites with open vacancies and announcing that it 
is soliciting applications to fill the council's seats. Applications 
are due Wednesday, August 28, 2024.
    In the following Supplementary Information section, NOAA provides 
details regarding ONMS, the role of advisory councils, and contact 
information for the Proposed Lake Erie National Marine Sanctuary.

II. Office of National Marine Sanctuaries (ONMS)

    ONMS serves as the trustee for a network of underwater parks 
encompassing more than 620,000 square miles of marine and Great Lakes 
waters from Washington state to the Florida Keys, and from Lake Huron 
to American Samoa. The network includes a system of 16 national marine 
sanctuaries and

the Papah[amacr]naumoku[amacr]kea and Rose Atoll marine national 
monuments. National marine sanctuaries protect our nation's most vital 
coastal and marine natural and cultural resources, and through active 
research, management, and public engagement, sustain healthy 
environments that are the foundation for thriving communities and 
stable economies.
    One of the many ways ONMS ensures public participation in the 
designation and management of national marine sanctuaries is through 
the formation of advisory councils. Advisory councils are community-
based groups established to provide advice and recommendations to ONMS 
on issues including management, science, service, and stewardship, as 
well as to serve as liaisons between their constituents in the 
community and the site. Pursuant to Section 315(a) of the NMSA, 
advisory councils are exempt from the requirements of the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act. Additional information on ONMS and its advisory 
councils can be found at https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov.

III. Advisory Council Membership

    Under section 315a(b) of the NMSA, advisory council members may be 
appointed from among: (1) Persons employed by federal or state agencies 
with expertise in natural resources management; (2) members of relevant 
regional fishery management councils; and (3) representatives of local 
user groups, conservation and other public interest organizations, 
scientific organizations, educational organizations, or others 
interested in the protection and multiple use management of sanctuary 
resources. 16 U.S.C. 1455a(b).
    The charter for each advisory council defines the number and type 
of seats and positions on the council. The advisory council charter for 
the proposed national marine sanctuary in Lake Erie identifies the 
following initial, non-governmental voting seat types: citizen-at-
large; commercial/charter fishing; divers, dive clubs, and archaeology; 
economic development; education (K-12); higher education; historically 
underserved populations; history/maritime heritage and public 
interpretation; maritime industry; outdoor recreation; recreational 
fishing; research, science and technology; and tourism and marketing. 
Initially, the council will also have non-voting seats for government 
agencies, youth, and federally-recognized Indigenous Nations and 
Tribes. Recognizing the cultural significance of this area to 
Indigenous Nations and Tribes, NOAA welcomes the participation of such 
interested Nations and Tribes on the council. This could involve 
multiple Nations and Tribes. Nations and Tribes interested in 
participating in the advisory council should contact the NOAA 
representative identified in the ADDRESSES section. Participation on 
the council does not take the place of government-to-government 
consultation nor does it serve as the only opportunity for engagement 
between NOAA and federally recognized Indigenous Nations and Tribes.
    For each of the existing advisory councils, applicants are chosen 
based upon their particular expertise and experience in relation to the 
seat for which they are applying; community and professional 
affiliations; views regarding the protection and management of marine 
or Great Lakes resources; and possibly the length of residence in the 
area affected by the site. Council members and alternates for the 
proposed Lake Erie National Marine Sanctuary Advisory Council serve 
three-year terms or until a post-designation sanctuary advisory council 
is established, as reflected in the signed charter.
    More information on advisory council membership and processes, and 
materials related to the purpose, policies, and operational 
requirements for advisory councils can be found in the charter for a 
particular advisory council (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/council_charters.html) and the National Marine Sanctuary Advisory 
Council Implementation Handbook (https://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/management/ac/acref.html). For more information about the new advisory 
council for the proposed national marine sanctuary in Lake Erie,
