section 10), of the

[[Page 5632]]

thirteenth meeting of the Negotiated Rulemaking Advisory Committee for 
Off-Road Vehicle Management at Cape Hatteras National Seashore.

DATES: The Committee will hold its thirteenth meeting on February 26-
27, 2009, from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. both days, if needed. The meeting 
will be held at the Wright Brothers National Memorial Pavilion, 1000 
Croatan Highway (Milepost 7.6), Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina 25948.
    These, and any subsequent meetings, will be held for the following 
reason: To work with the National Park Service to assist in potentially 
developing special regulations for off-road vehicle (ORV) management at 
Cape Hatteras National Seashore (Seashore).
    The proposed agenda for the thirteenth meeting of the Committee may 
contain the following items: Approval of Meeting Summary from Last 
Meeting, Subcommittee and Members' Updates since Last Meeting, 
Alternatives Discussions, NEPA Update, and Public Comment. However, the 
Committee may modify its agenda during the course of its work. The 
meetings are open to the public. Interested persons may provide brief 
oral/written comments to the Committee during the public comment period 
of the meetings each day before the lunch break or may file written 
comments with the Park Superintendent.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael B. Murray, Superintendent, 
Cape Hatteras National Seashore, 1401 National Park Drive, Manteo, 
North Carolina 27954, (252) 473-2111, ext. 148.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Committee's function is to assist 
directly in the development of special regulations for management of 
ORVs at the Seashore. Executive Order 11644, as amended by Executive 
Order 11989, requires certain Federal agencies to publish regulations 
that provide for administrative designation of the specific areas and 
trails on which ORV use may be permitted. In response, the NPS 
published a general regulation at 36 CFR 4.10, which provides that each 
park that designates routes and areas for ORV use must do so by 
promulgating a special regulation specific to that park. It also 
provides that the designation of routes and areas shall comply with 
Executive Order 11644, and 36 CFR 1.5 regarding closures. Members of 
the Committee will negotiate to reach consensus on concepts and 
language to be used as the basis for a proposed special regulation, to 
be published by the NPS in the Federal Register, governing ORV use at 
the Seashore. The duties of the Committee are solely advisory.

    Dated: January 13, 2009.
Michael B. Murray,
Superintendent, Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
