## Background

                    On March 13, 2007, the Department of the Interior (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's Charter is subject to biennial renewal. The Committee meets approximately four times per year, and 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.                           ( print page 23203)                        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. We held five Committee meetings in 2008, and held four meetings in January and March of 2009. All Committee meetings are open to the public. The public has an opportunity to comment at all Committee meetings.
