SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS 

SRC program is authorized under 

section 808 of the Alaska National 

Interest Lands Conservation Act (16 

U.S.C. 3118). 

The SRCs hold meetings to develop 

NPS subsistence program 

recommendations and advise on related 

regulatory proposals and resource 

management issues. 

Each SRC is composed of nine 

members: (a) Three members appointed 

by the Secretary of the Interior; (b) three 

members appointed by the Governor of 

the State of Alaska; and (c) three 

members appointed by a Regional 

Advisory Council (RAC), established 

pursuant to 16 U.S.C. 3115, which has 

jurisdiction within the area in which the 

park is located. Each of the three 

members appointed by the RAC must be 

a member of either the RAC or a local 

advisory committee within the region 

who also engages in subsistence uses 

within the park or national monument. 

We are now seeking nominations for 

those members of each of the SRCs 

listed above. 

These members are to be appointed by 

the Secretary of the Interior. 

Members will be appointed for a term 

of three years. Members of the SRC 

serve without compensation. However, 

while away from their homes or regular 

places of business in the performance of 

services for the SRC, and as approved by 

the Designated Federal Officer (DFO), 

members may be allowed travel 

expenses, including per diem in lieu of 

subsistence, in the same manner as 

persons employed intermittently in 

Government service are allowed such 

expenses under Section 5703 of Title 5 

of the United States Code. 

SRC meetings will take place at such 

times as designated by the DFO. 

Members are expected to make every 

effort to attend all meetings. Members 

may not appoint deputies or alternates. 

We are seeking nominations for 

members to represent subsistence users 

on each of the five SRCs listed above. 

All those interested in serving as 

members, including current members 

whose terms are expiring, must follow 

the same nomination process. 

Nominations should be typed and 

should include a resume providing an 

adequate description of the nominee’s

that would enable the Department of the 

Interior to make an informed decision 

regarding meeting the membership 

requirements of the SRC, and to permit 

the Department to contact a potential 

member.
