SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Science Advisory Board advises the

Director of the Bureau of Land

Management on issues pertaining to

science and the application of scientific

information in the management of

public lands and their resources.

Under the Federal advisory committee

management regulations (41 CFR 101–

6.1015(b)(2)), in exceptional

circumstances an agency may give less

than 15 days notice of a committee

meeting if the reasons for doing so are

included in the meeting notice

published in the Federal Register. In

this case, BLM made commitments with

regard to scheduling the first meeting of

the advisory committee based on the

approval of the charter within a certain

time frame. Delays in obtaining

approval of the charter within the

Department of the Interior resulted in

publication of the meeting notice less

than 15 days prior to the committee

meeting.

Dated: April 15, 1998.

Acting Director.
