Outer Continental Shelf Advisory Board; Notice of Renewal/
Revision

    This notice is published in accordance with section 9(a)(2) of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix). Notice is hereby 
given that the Secretary of the Interior is renewing the Outer 
Continental Shelf (OCS) Advisory Board Charter and revising it to 
reflect the Minerals Management Service's royalty management mandate, 
and renaming it the Minerals Management Advisory Board.
    The purpose of the OCS Advisory Board is to provide advice to the 
Secretary of the Interior and other officers of the Department in the 
performance of discretionary functions of the OCS Lands Act, as 
amended, including all aspects of leasing, exploration, development, 
and protection of the resources of the OCS. The charter is being 
revised to allow the Board to advise the Department on discretionary 
functions under the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982, 
the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, the mineral leasing laws for coal and 
other solid mineral leases, as well as the OCS Lands Act.
    Further information regarding the Committee may be obtained from
