Management of Habitat for LateSuccession and Old-Growth Forest

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (5 U.S.C. App.), notice is 

hereby given that the Department of 

Agriculture, in consultation with the 

Department of the Interior, intends to reestablish the PACs. The purpose of the 

PACs is to facilitate the coordinated 

implementation of the ROD of April 13, 

1994, for Management of Habitat for 

Late-Succession and Old-Growth Forest 

Related Species within the Range of the 

Northern Spotted Owl. The PACs 

consists of representatives of the 

following Federal agencies: Forest 

Service, Natural Resources Conservation 

Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Bureau of Land Management, National 

Marine Fisheries Service, National Park 

Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 

U.S. Geological Survey Biological 

Resources Division, Environmental 

Protection Agency, and U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers. 

Ecosystem management at the 

province level requires improved 

coordination among governmental 

entities responsible for land 

management decisions and the public 

those agencies serve. Each PAC will 

provide advice and recommendations 

regarding implementation to promote 

integration and coordination of forest 

management activities between Federal 

and non-Federal entities. Each PAC will 

provide advice regarding 

implementation of a comprehensive 

ecosystem management strategy for 

Federal land within a province 

(provinces are defined in the ROD at 

E19). 

Re-establishment of the PACs does 

not require an amendment of Bureau of 

Land Management or Forest Service 

planning documents because the reestablishment does not affect the 

standards and guidelines or land 

allocations. The Bureau of Land 

Management and Forest Service will 

provide further notice, as needed, for 

additional actions or adjustments when 

implementing interagency coordination, 

public involvement, and other aspects 

of the ROD. 

PAC Membership 

Each PAC will be comprised of no 

more than 30 members approved by the 

Secretary of Agriculture. This 

Committee will be fairly balanced in its

The Marine Mammal Protection Act 

requires any commercial fisherman 

operating in Category I and II fisheries 

to register for a certificate of 

authorization that will allow the 

fisherman to take marine mammals 

incidental to commercial fishing 

operations. Category I and II fisheries 

are those identified by NOAA as having 

either frequent or occasional takings of 

marine mammals. All states have 

integrated the National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS) registration process into 

the existing state fishery registration 

process and vessel owners do not need
