SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Advisory Council on Landslides (ACL) is
established under the National Landslide Preparedness Act (Pub. L. 116-
323) and regulated by the Federal Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. ch.
10. The ACL provides advice and recommendations to the Secretary of the
Interior through the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Landslide
Hazard on the implementation of the National Landslide Preparedness
Act. The ACL will be composed of no fewer than 11 representative
members and will meet 1-2 times per year.
Members of the ACL will be individuals not employed by the Federal
Government who are qualified in landslide hazard and risk or related
fields. The ACL membership will be representative of:
<bullet> States, including State geological organizations;
<bullet> territories, including territorial geological
organizations;
<bullet> Indian Tribes, including Tribal geological organizations;
<bullet> research institutions and institutions of higher education
qualified to provide advice regarding landslide hazard and risk
reduction, and representing related scientific, architectural,
engineering, and planning disciplines;
<bullet> industry standards development organizations; and
<bullet> State, territorial, local, and Tribal emergency management
agencies.
Selection of members will ensure that a reasonable cross-section of
views and expertise is represented on the ACL, including a range of
geographies and communities impacted by landslide hazards in the United
States. Each member will serve a term of up to three years with terms
staggered to ensure continuity. Members of the ACL serve without
compensation. However, while away from their homes or regular places of
business, ACL and subcommittee members engaged in ACL or subcommittee
business that the Designated Federal Official approves may be allowed
travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703, in the same manner as persons employed
intermittently in Federal Government service.
