SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of the ISAC is to provide advice 
to the NISC, as authorized by Executive Orders 13112 and 13751, on a

cause. NISC is co-chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, the 
Secretary of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Commerce. The duty of

Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) Framework. The committee will also 
participate in a field trip to He[revaps]eia State Park, visiting with 
local organizations including K[amacr]ko`o `[Omacr]iwi and Paepae o 
He[revaps]eia to observe on-the-ground efforts in wetland restoration 
and invasive species management.
