AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of public meetings of the Invasive Species Advisory
Committee.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee
Act, notice is hereby given of meetings of the Invasive Species
Advisory Committee (ISAC). Comprised of 30 nonfederal invasive species
experts and stakeholders from across the nation, the purpose of the
Advisory Committee is to provide advice to the National Invasive
Species Council, as authorized by Executive Order 13112, on a broad
array of issues related to preventing the introduction of invasive
species and providing for their control and minimizing the economic,
ecological, and human health impacts that invasive species cause. The
Council is co-chaired by the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary
of Agriculture, and the Secretary of Commerce. The duty of the Council
is to provide national leadership regarding invasive species issues.
Purpose of Meeting: The meeting will be held on June 14-16, 2011 in
Denver, Colorado, and will focus primarily on invaders in the
intermountain West. The meeting will focus on adapting management of
invasive species in the vast Rocky Mountain/High Plains region in order
to gain new understanding of landscape ecology, climate change, land
development, introduction pathways, and new invaders. ISAC will also
consult with Western-based scientists and practitioners on problems and
potential solutions, as well as evaluate on-the-ground issues
firsthand, thereby determining how management methods

and practices can be adapted in the West to prevent and manage invasive
species.
DATES: Meeting of the Invasive Species Advisory Committee: Tuesday,
June 14, 2011 and Thursday, June 16, 2010; beginning at approximately 8
a.m., and ending at approximately 5 p.m. each day. Members will be
