Recovery Implementation Committee 

AGENCY: Department of the Army, U.S. 

Army Corps of Engineers, DoD. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Commander of the 

Northwestern Division of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (Corps) is soliciting 

applications to fill vacant stakeholder 

representative member positions on the 

Missouri River Recovery 

Implementation Committee (MRRIC). 

Members are sought to fill vacancies on 

a committee to represent various 

categories of interests within the 

Missouri River basin. The MRRIC was 

formed to advise the Corps on a study 

of the Missouri River and its tributaries 

and to provide guidance to the Corps 

with respect to the Missouri River 

recovery and mitigation activities 

currently underway. The Corps 

established the MRRIC as required by 

the U.S. Congress through the Water 

Resources Development Act of 2007 

(WRDA), Section 5018. 

DATES: The agency must receive 

completed applications no later than 

July 15, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Mail completed 

applications to U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers, Omaha District (Attn: 

MRRIC), 1616 Capitol Avenue, Omaha, 

NE 68102–4901 or e-mail completed 

applications to info@mrric.org. Please 

put ‘‘MRRIC’’ in the subject line. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Mary S. Roth, 402–995–2919. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

operation of the MRRIC is in the public 

interest and provides support to the 

Corps in performing its duties and 

responsibilities under the Endangered 

Species Act, 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.; Sec. 

601(a) of the Water Resources 

Development Act (WRDA) of 1986, 

Public Law 99–662; Sec. 334(a) of 

WRDA 1999, Public Law 106–53, and 

Section 5018 of WRDA 2007, Public 

Law 110–114. The Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, does 

not apply to the MRRIC. 

A Charter for the MRRIC has been 

developed and should be reviewed prior 

to applying for a stakeholder 

representative membership position on 

the Committee. The Charter, operating 

procedures, and stakeholder application 

forms are available electronically at 

http://www.MRRIC.org. 

Purpose and Scope of the Committee. 

The duties of the MRRIC cover two 

areas: 

1. The Committee provides guidance 

to the Corps, and affected Federal 

agencies, State agencies, or Native 

American Indian Tribes on a study of 

the Missouri River and its tributaries to 

determine the actions required to 

mitigate losses of aquatic and terrestrial 

habitat, to recover federally listed 

species protected under the Endangered 

Species Act, and to restore the river’s 

ecosystem to prevent further declines 

among other native species. This study 

is identified in Section 5018(a) of the 

WRDA. It will result in a single, 

comprehensive plan to guide the 

implementation of mitigation, recovery, 

and restoration activities in the Missouri 

River Basin. This plan is referred to as 

the Missouri River Ecosystem 

Restoration Plan (MRERP). For more 

information about the MRERP go to 

http://www.MRERP.org. 

2. The MRRIC also provides guidance 

to the Corps with respect to the 

Missouri River recovery and mitigation 

plan currently in existence, including 

recommendations relating to changes to 

the implementation strategy from the 

use of adaptive management; 

coordination of the development of 

consistent policies, strategies, plans, 

programs, projects, activities, and 

priorities for the Missouri River 

recovery and mitigation plan. 

Information about the Missouri River 

Recovery Program is available at 

http://www.MoRiverRecovery.org. 

3. Other duties of MRRIC include 

exchange of information regarding 

programs, projects, and activities of the 

agencies and entities represented on the 

Committee to promote the goals of the 

Missouri River recovery and mitigation 

plan; establishment of such working 

groups as the Committee determines to 

be necessary to assist in carrying out the 

duties of the Committee, including 

duties relating to public policy and 

scientific issues; facilitating the 

resolution of interagency and 

intergovernmental conflicts between 

entities represented on the Committee 

associated with the Missouri River 

recovery and mitigation plan; 

coordination of scientific and other 

research associated with the Missouri 

River recovery and mitigation plan; and 

annual preparation of a work plan and 

associated budget requests. 

Administrative Support. To the extent 

authorized by law and subject to the 

availability of appropriations, the Corps 

provides funding and administrative 

support for the Committee. 

Committee Membership. Federal 

agencies with programs affecting the 

Missouri River may be members of the 

MRRIC through a separate process with 

the Corps. States and Federally 

recognized Native American Indian 

tribes, as described in the Charter, are 

eligible for Committee membership 

through an appointment process. 

Interested State and Tribal government 

representatives should contact the Corps 

for information about the appointment

member on the Committee. In 

accordance with the Charter for the 

MRRIC, stakeholder membership is
