The Commission is composed of 16 members appointed by the Secretary, as follows:

However, while away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance of services for the Commission as approved by the Designated Federal Officer, members will 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 5 U.S.C. 5703. Individuals who are Federally registered lobbyists are ineligible to serve on all FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an individual capacity. The term “individual capacity” refers to individuals who are appointed to exercise their own individual best judgment on behalf of the government, such as when they are designated Special Government Employees, rather than being appointed to represent a particular interest. Seeking Nominations for Membership We are seeking nominations for commission members in the following category: Members at large. Nominations 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. Members are appointed by the Secretary for a term not to exceed three years. The terms of the three members at large of the Commission expire on September 28, 2014. The Commission last met on June 2, 2014, and usually meets three times per year, generally in June, September, and February. Meetings may take place at such times as designated by the Designated Federal Officer. Members are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings. Members may not appoint deputies or alternates. Dated: September 26, 2014. Alma Ripps, Chief, Office of Policy. [FR Doc. 2014-24044 Filed 10-7-14; 8:45 am]
