    ACTION: Call for Nominations for Gila Box Riparian National 
    Conservation Area Advisory Committee.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit public nominations to 
    fill five positions on the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area 
    Advisory Committee, pursuant to Title 2, Section 201, of the Arizona 
    Desert Wilderness Act of 1990.
    
    BACKGROUND: The purpose of the seven-member Advisory Committee is to 
    provide informed advice to the Safford Field Manager on management of 
    public lands in the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation Area in 
    southeastern Arizona. Members are currently assisting BLM specialists 
    with the preparation of the Final Gila Box Interdisciplinary Activity 
    Plan. The Advisory Committee will meet approximately two times during 
    FY 97 to assist with plan preparation. Members serve without salary, 
    but are reimbursed for travel and per diem expenses at current rates 
    for government employees.
        To ensure membership of the Advisory Committee is balanced in terms 
    of categories of interest represented and functions performed, nominees 
    must be qualified to provide advice in specific areas related to the 
    primary purposes for which the Gila Box Riparian National Conservation 
    Area was created. These categories of expertise include wildlife 
    conservation, riparian ecology, archaeology, hydrology, recreation, 
    environmental education, or other related disciplines.
        Three positions on the Committee are representatives for the State 
    of Arizona, Graham County, and Greenlee County. Nominations for these 
    representatives are submitted to the BLM from the Governor of Arizona 
    and the Boards of Supervisors for Graham and Greenlee counties 
    respectively. Those wishing to submit nominations for those three 
    positions should contact the appropriate office to do so.
        Nominations for the remaining two positions should be submitted 
    directly to the BLM. Persons wishing to nominate individuals or those 
    wishing to be considered for appointment to serve on the Advisory 
    Committee should provide name, address, profession, biographical data, 
    and category of expertise for each qualified nominee. Persons selected 
    by the Secretary of the Interior to serve on the Committee will serve a 
    three-year term ending on July 31, 2000. Nominations should be 
    submitted to the Safford Field Manager at the address below.
    
    DATES: All nominations should be received by July 20, 1997.
