DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

National Park Service 

National Park System Advisory Board 

Reestablishment 

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Reestablishment of the 

National Park System Advisory Board. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior 

intends to administratively reestablish 

the National Park System Advisory 

Board. This action is necessary and in 

the public interest in connection with 

the performance of statutory duties 

imposed upon the Department of the 

Interior and the National Park Service. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Bernard Fagan, 202–208–7456; or 

Shirley Sears Smith, 202–208–7456; or 

Jennifer Lee, 202–219–1689. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

National Park System Advisory Board 

was first established by section 3 of the 

Act of August 21, 1935 (49 Stat. 667; 16 

U.S.C. 463). The Board has been 

statutorily reauthorized several times 

since then. However, the Board’s 

current statutory authorization expired 

January 1, 2007. The advice and 

recommendations provided by the 

Board and its subcommittees fulfill an 

important need within the Department 

of the Interior and the National Park 

Service, and it therefore is necessary to 

administratively reestablish the Board to 

ensure that its work is not disrupted. 

The Board’s 12 members will be 

balanced to represent a cross-section of 

disciplines and expertise relevant to the 

National Park Service mission. The 

administrative reestablishment of the 

Board comports with the requirements 

of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 

as amended (5 U.S.C., Appendix), and 

follows consultation with the General 

Services Administration. The 

reestablishment will be effective on the 

date the charter is filed pursuant to 

section 9(c) of the Act and 41 CFR 102–

3.70. 

Certification: I hereby certify that the 

administrative reestablishment of the 

National Park System Advisory Board is 

necessary and in the public interest in 

connection with the performance of 

duties imposed on the Department of 

the Interior by the Act of August 25, 

1916, 16 U.S.C. 1 et seq., and other 

statutes relating to the administration of 

the National Park System.
