in meeting environmental and cultural commitments including those
contained in the Record of Decision for the Glen Canyon Dam Long-Term

and subsequent related decisions, (3) recommend resource management
objectives for development and implementation of a long-term monitoring
plan, and any necessary research and studies required to determine the

Grand Canyon National Park and Glen Canyon Dam National Recreation Area
were established, including but not limited to, natural and cultural
resources, and visitor use, (4) review and provide input on the report
identified in the Act to the Secretary, the Congress, and the Governors
of the Colorado River Basin States, (5) annually review long-term
monitoring data to provide advice on the status of resources and

Membership Criteria
Prospective members of AMWG need to have a strong capacity for
advising individuals in leadership positions, teamwork, project
management, tracking relevant Federal government programs and policy
making procedures, and networking with and representing their
stakeholder group. Membership from a wide range of disciplines and
professional sectors is encouraged.
Members of the AMWG are appointed by the Secretary and are

AMWG.
b. One representative each from the following entities: The
Secretary of Energy (Western Area Power Administration), Arizona Game
and Fish Department, Hopi Tribe, Hualapai Tribe, Navajo Nation, San
Juan Southern Paiute Tribe, Southern Paiute Consortium, and the Pueblo
of Zuni.
c. One representative each from the Governors from the seven basin
States: Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and
Wyoming.
d. Representatives from the general public as follows: two from
environmental organizations, two from the recreation industry, and two
from contractors who purchase Federal power from Glen Canyon
Powerplant.
e. One representative from each of the following Interior agencies
as ex-officio non-voting members: Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of
Indian Affairs, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park
Service.
At this time, we are particularly interested in applications from
representatives of the following:
a. one each from the basin states of California, Colorado, Nevada,
New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming;

c. one each from the Native American Tribes of Hopi, Navajo Nation,

After consultation, the Secretary will appoint members to the AMWG.
Members will be selected based on their individual qualifications, as

viewpoints, subject matter expertise, regional knowledge, and
representation of communities of interest. AMWG member terms are
limited to 3 years from their date of appointment. Following completion
of their first term, an AMWG member may request consideration for
reappointment to an additional term. Reappointment is not guaranteed.
Typically, AMWG will hold two in-person meetings and one webinar
meeting per fiscal year. Between meetings, AMWG members are expected to
participate in committee work via conference calls and email exchanges.
Members of the AMWG and its subcommittees serve without pay. However,
while away from their homes or regular places of business in the
performance of services of the AMWG, members may be reimbursed for
travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, in the same
manner as persons employed intermittently in the government service, as
authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703.
Nominations should include a resume that provides an adequate
description of the nominee's qualifications, particularly information
that will enable Interior to evaluate the nominee's potential to meet
the membership requirements of the AMWG and permit Interior to contact
a potential member. Please refer to the membership criteria stated in
this notice.
Any interested person or entity may nominate one or more qualified
individuals for membership on the AMWG. Nominations from the seven
basin states, as identified in this notice, need to be submitted by the
respective Governors of those states, or by a state representative
