59950 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 193 / Wednesday, October 6, 2004 / Notices 

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 initial 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 

monitoring plan(s) for the wildlife 

resources in the 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; and selecting Task 

Group leadership and a proceedings 

recorder. Subsequent meeting agendas 

will include developing the monitoring 

plan(s) and identifying who will do the 

monitoring and how those costs will be 

paid. Public comments will be heard 

just prior to adjournment at each 

meeting.
