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, including 

one for Water Resources. Public 

participation on the Task Groups was 

solicited through the media, letters, and 

word-of-mouth. The agenda for this 

meeting will include information 

gathering and discussion related to 

developing a water resources 

monitoring plan to assess the impacts of 

development in the Pinedale Anticline 

gas field, and identifying who will do 

and who will pay for the monitoring. 

Task Group recommendations are due to 

the PAWG in February, 2005. At a 

minimum, public comments will be 

heard just prior to adjournment of the 

meeting.
