SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Commission was established by section 6

terminated January 8, 2011. The Commission has been extended by Public
Law 113-178 and the new termination date is September 26, 2024. The
purpose of the Commission is to meet and consult with the Secretary of
the Interior (Secretary), or the Secretary's designee, on general
policies and specific matters related to the administration and
development of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park.
The Commission shall be composed of 19 members appointed by the
Secretary for 5-year terms as follows: (1) Eight members to be
appointed from recommendations submitted by the boards of commissioners
or the county councils, as the case may be, of Montgomery, Frederick,
Washington, and Allegany Counties, Maryland, of which two members shall
be appointed from recommendations submitted by each such board or
council, as the case may be; (2) Eight members to be appointed from
recommendations submitted by the Governor of the State of Maryland, the
Governor of the State of West Virginia, the Governor of the
Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Mayor of the District of Columbia, of
which two members shall be appointed from recommendations submitted by
each such Governor or Mayor, as the case may be; and (3) Three members
to be appointed by the Secretary, one of whom shall be designated
Chairman of the Commission and two of who shall be members of regularly
constituted conservation organizations.
We are currently seeking members to represent all categories.
Some members may be appointed as special Government employees
(SGEs). Please be aware that members selected to serve as SGEs will be
required, prior to appointment, to file a Confidential Financial
Disclosure Report in order to avoid involvement in real or apparent
conflicts of interest. You may find a copy of the Confidential
Financial Disclosure Report at the following website: <a href="https://www.doi.gov/ethics/special-government-employees/financial-disclosure">https://www.doi.gov/ethics/special-government-employees/financial-disclosure</a>.
Additionally, after appointment, members appointed as SGEs will be
required to meet applicable financial disclosure and ethics training
requirements. Please contact (202) 208-7960 or <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#88ccc7c1d7cdfce0e1ebfbc8fbe7e4a6ece7e1a6efe7fe"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="ebafa4a2b4ae9f83828898ab988487c58f8482c58c849d">[email protected]</span></a>
with any questions about the ethics requirements for members appointed
as SGEs.
Nominations should be typed and 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. All
documentation, including letters of recommendation, must be compiled
and submitted in one complete package. All those interested in
membership, including current members whose terms are expiring, must
follow the same nomination process. Members may not appoint deputies or
alternates.
Members of the Commission serve without compensation. However,
while away from their homes or regular places of business in the
performance of services for the Commission as approved by the NPS,
members may 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 section 5703 of
title 5 of the United States Code.
