SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Pinedale Anticline Working Group (PAWG) 
was authorized and established with release of the Record of Decision 
(ROD) for the Pinedale Anticline Oil and Gas Exploration and 
Development Project on July 27, 2000. The PAWG advises the BLM on the 
development and implementation of monitoring plans and adaptive 
management decisions as development of the Pinedale Anticline Natural 
Gas Field (PAPA) proceeds for the life of the field. After the ROD was 
issued, Interior determined that a Federal Advisory Committees Act 
(FACA) charter was required for this group. The charter was signed by 
Secretary of the Interior, Gale Norton, on August 15, 2002, and renewed 
on August 13, 2004. An announcement of committee initiation and call 
for nominations was published in the Federal Register on February 21, 
2003, (68 FR 8522). PAWG members were appointed by Secretary Norton on 
May 4, 2004.
    At their second business meeting, the PAWG established seven 
resource- or activity-specific Task Groups: Air Quality; Water 
Resources; Reclamation; Wildlife; Socio-Economic; Cultural/Historic/
Visual Resources; and Transportation. Public participation on those 
Task Groups was solicited through the media, letters, and word-of-
mouth. The Task Group meeting agenda will include: review of Task Group 
charges from the Pinedale Anticline Oil and Gas Exploration and 
Development Project ROD and the PAWG (developing an air quality 
monitoring plan for the Pinedale Anticline gas field, identifying who 
will do the monitoring, and identifying who will pay for the 
monitoring); developing a strategy to accomplish those tasks for 
recommendation to the PAWG by February, 2005; selecting Task Group 
leadership and a proceedings recorder; and setting times, dates, 
locations, and agendas for subsequent meetings. Public comments will be 
heard just prior to adjournment of the meeting.

    Dated: September 30, 2004.
Donald A. Simpson,
Acting State Director.
