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. 

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 

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

3628 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 12 / Wednesday, January 21, 2009 / Notices 

statutorily reauthorized several times 

since then. However, the Board’s 

statutory authorization expired January 

1, 2009. 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.

Public Law 105–391, the National Park 

Omnibus Management Act of 1998, 

November 13, 1998, with a termination 

date of December 31, 2008. Extension 

legislation was introduced in September 

2008 that would have extended the

on this issue during the 111th Congress, 

but cannot predict if or when that will 

occur. 

The advice and recommendations 

provided by the Board and its

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Introduction 

With this notice, we initiate our 

process for developing a CCP for White 

River NWR in Desha, Monroe, Arkansas, 

and Phillips Counties, Arkansas. 

This notice complies with our CCP 

policy to (1) advise other federal and 

state agencies, tribes, and the public of 

our intention to conduct detailed 

planning on this refuge; and (2) obtain 

suggestions and information on the 

scope of issues to consider in the 

environmental document and during 

development of the CCP. 

Background 

The CCP Process 

The National Wildlife Refuge System 

Improvement Act of 1997 (16 U.S.C. 

668dd–668ee) (Improvement Act), 

which amended the National Wildlife 

Refuge System Administration Act of 

1966, requires us to develop a CCP for 

each national wildlife refuge. The 

purpose in developing a CCP is to 

provide refuge managers with a 15-year 

strategy for achieving refuge purposes 

and contributing to the mission of the 

National Wildlife Refuge System, 

consistent with sound principles of fish 

and wildlife management, conservation, 

legal mandates, and our policies. In 

addition to outlining broad management 

direction on conserving wildlife and 

their habitats, CCPs identify wildlifedependent recreational opportunities
