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.
Nominations should include a resume that provides contact
information and a description of the nominee's qualifications that
would enable the Department of the Interior to make an informed
decision regarding the candidate's suitability to serve on the ACL.
Send nominations to the Designated Federal Officer at the email
provided in ADDRESSES. Additional information about the ACL may be
