SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On March 13, 2007, the Department of 

the Interior published a notice of 

establishment of the Committee and call 

for nominations in the Federal Register 

(72 FR 11373). The Committee’s 

purpose is to provide advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of the 

Interior (Secretary) on developing 

effective measures to avoid or minimize 

impacts to wildlife and their habitats 

related to land-based wind energy 

facilities. The Committee is expected to 

exist for 2 years and meet approximately 

four times per year, and its continuation 

is subject to biennial renewal. All 

Committee members serve without 

compensation. In accordance with the 

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 

U.S.C. App.), a copy of the Committee’s 

charter has been filed with the 

Committee Management Secretariat, 

General Services Administration; 

Committee on Environment and Public 

Works, U.S. Senate; Committee on 

Natural Resources, U.S. House of 

Representatives; and the Library of 

Congress. The Secretary appointed 22 

individuals to the Committee on 

October 24, 2007, representing the 

varied interests associated with wind 

energy development and its potential 

impacts to wildlife species and their 

habitats. The Service held five 

Committee meetings in 2008, and has 

held one meeting in January of 2009. All 

Committee meetings are open to the 

public. The public has an opportunity to 

comment at all Committee meetings.
