Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission; Establishment
AGENCY: National Park Service, Department of the Interior.
ACTION: Establishment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The National Park Service (NPS) is giving notice of its intent
to establish the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission in
accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (PL 92-463, 86 Stat.
770, 5 U.S.C. Appx., section 10).
The Commission was originally established by Section 8 of PL 87-
126, August 7, 1961. It was reestablished by PL 99-349, Amendment 24,
July 2, 1986, and extended to May 31, 1996, by PL 99-420, September 25,
1986. Because the need for the Commission is expected to continue
indefinitely, the National Park Service is administratively re-
establishing the Commission in the same form as it has existed under
its expired statutory authority. In this way the Commission may
continue its work without interruption.
The purpose of the Commission is to consult with the Secretary of
the Interior, or the Secretary's designee, with respect to matters
relating to the development of the Cape Cod National Seashore, and with
respect to carrying out the provisions of sections 4 and 5 of the Act
establishing the Seashore.
Composition: The Commission is to consist of 10 members as follows:
(1) Six members appointed from recommendations made by each of the
boards of selectmen of the towns of Truro, Wellfleet, Eastham, Orleans,
Chatham, and Provincetown, Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
(2) One member to be appointed from recommendations of the county
commissioners of Barnstable County, Commonwealth of Massachusetts;
(3) Two members to be appointed from recommendations of the
Governor
[[Page 44344]]
of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and
(4) One member to be appointed at the discretion of the Secretary.
Copies of the Commission's charter will be filed with the
appropriate committees of Congress and with the Library of Congress in
accordance with section 9(c) of the Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA), 5 U.S.C. appx.
NPS invites any interested person to comment on the proposal to
establish this Commission.
Records of Meetings: In accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. Appx. 1988, the NPS will keep
a record of all Commission meetings.
Administrative Support: To the extent authorized by law, the NPS
will fund the costs of the Commission and provide administrative
support and technical assistance for the activities of the Commission.
Certification: I hereby certify that the administrative
establishment of the Cape Cod National Seashore Advisory Commission is
necessary and in the public interest in connection with the performance
of duties imposed on the Department of the Interior by the Act of
August 25, 1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other statutes relating to
the administration of the National Park System.
Dated: June 20, 1996.

Secretary of the Interior
