ACTION: Notice of meeting.

SUMMARY: The TVA Regional Resource Stewardship Council (RRSC) will hold 
a meeting on Wednesday, July 15, 2009 to consider various matters.
    The RRSC was established to advise TVA on its natural resource 
stewardship activities. Notice of this meeting is given under the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. 2, (FACA).
    The management of the Tennessee Valley reservoirs and the lands 
adjacent to them has long been integral components of TVA's mission. As 
part of implementing the TVA Environmental Policy, TVA is conducting an 
Environmental Impact Study (EIS) under the process established by the 
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) that will help prioritize 
techniques for the management of TVA's sustainable land use activities, 
natural resource management activities, and water resource protection 
and improvement activities. TVA would like to utilize the RRSC as a key 
stakeholder group throughout the EIS period to advise TVA on the 
issues, tradeoffs, and focus of environmental stewardship activities. 
At the July meeting, TVA will be seeking advice from the Council on 
issues regarding the scope and direction of the study.
    TVA will also be seeking recommendations and advice on its 
campground and marina operations. Specifically, TVA will be seeking 
advice on the appropriate methodology or approach to establishing a 
value to charge campground and marina operators for use of the public 
lands.
