SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Public Advisory

and Consent Decree entered into by the United States of America and the 
State of Alaska on August 27, 1991, and approved by the United States 
District Court for the District of Alaska in settlement of United 
States of America v. State of Alaska, Civil Action No. A91-081 CV. The 
Public Advisory Committee was created to advise the Trustee Council on

    The Trustee Council consists of representatives of the U.S. 
Department of the Interior, U.S. Department of Agriculture, National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Alaska Department of Fish and 
Game, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation, and Alaska 
Department of Law.
    The Public Advisory Committee consists of 10 members to reflect 
balanced representation from each of the following principal interests: 
Aquaculture/mariculture, commercial tourism, conservation/
environmental, recreation, subsistence use, commercial fishing, native 
landownership, sport hunting/fishing, science/technology, and public-
at-large.
    Nominations for membership may be submitted by any source.
    Nominations should include a r[eacute]sum[eacute] providing an 
adequate description of the nominee's qualifications, including 
information that would enable the Department of the Interior to make an 
informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements of the 
Public Advisory Committee and permit the Department of the Interior to 
contact a potential member.
    Individuals who are federally registered lobbyists are ineligible 
to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an 
individual capacity. The term ``individual capacity'' refers to 
individuals who are appointed to exercise their own individual best 
judgment on behalf of the government, such as when they are designated 
Special Government Employees, rather than being appointed to represent 
a particular interest.

phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information 
in your nomination/comment, you should be aware that your entire 
nomination/comment--including your personal identifying information--
