SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Acadia National Park Advisory Commission

    The Commission advises the Secretary and the NPS on matters 
relating to the management and development of Acadia National Park, 
including but not limited to the acquisition of lands and interests in 
lands (including conservation easements on islands) and the termination 
of rights of use and occupancy.
    The Commission is composed of 16 members appointed by the 
Secretary, as follows: (a) Three members at large; (b) three members 
appointed from among individuals recommended by the Governor of Maine; 
(c) four members appointed from among individuals recommended by each 
of the four towns on the island of Mount Desert; (d) three members 
appointed from among individuals recommended by each of the three 
Hancock County mainland communities of Gouldsboro, Winter Harbor, and 
Trenton, and; (e) three members appointed from among individuals 
recommended by each of the three island towns of Cranberry Isles, Swans 
Island, and Frenchboro.
    Members of the Commission will receive no pay, allowances, or 
benefits by reason of their service on the Commission. However, while 
away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance 
of services for the Commission as approved by the Designated Federal 
Officer, members will 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 5 
U.S.C. 5703.
    Individuals who are Federally registered lobbyists are ineligible 
to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an 
individual capacity. The term ``individual capacity'' refers to 
individuals who are appointed to exercise their own individual best 
judgment on behalf of the government, such as when they are designated 
Special Government Employees, rather than being appointed to represent 
a particular interest.

Seeking Nominations for Membership

    We are seeking nominations for commission members in the following 
category: Members at large. Nominations should include a resume 
providing an adequate description of the nominee's qualifications, 
including information that would enable the Department of the Interior 
to make an informed decision regarding meeting the membership 
requirements of the Commission and permit the Department to contact a 
potential member.
    Members are appointed by the Secretary for a term not to exceed 
three years. The terms of the three members at large of the Commission 
expire on September 28, 2014. The Commission last met on June 2, 2014, 
and usually meets three times per year, generally in June, September, 
and February. Meetings may take place at such times as designated by 
the Designated Federal Officer. Members are expected to make every 
effort to attend all meetings. Members may not appoint deputies or 
alternates.

    Dated: September 26, 2014.
Alma Ripps,
Chief, Office of Policy.
