Call for Gila Box Advisory Committee Nominations
AGENCY: Safford Field Office, Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
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.
