SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act
and the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the Bureau of Land Management's
(BLM) San Juan Islands National Monument Advisory Committee (MAC) will
meet as indicated below.
DATES: The MAC will meet on three separate dates in the next two
months. The meetings on May 28 and June 5 are scheduled for 8:30 a.m.-

Thursday, May 28, 2015: Meeting discussions will include an update
on outcomes of the scoping process in March 2015. The MAC will be
guided through the planning process steps, with definitions of key
steps, such as Issues Identification. The committee will then review
the variety of resource comments as well as the list of preliminary
planning issues developed by the BLM interdisciplinary team. The
committee will provide recommendations on any modifications to this
list that they may have. The planning issues are the questions (e.g.,
how should the BLM manage recreation while protecting ecological,
cultural, and historic values) that the BLM will explore answers to
through the range of alternative management approaches developed for
the draft plan.
Friday, June 5, 2015: This meeting will focus on the ecological
values within the National Monument for which the BLM will be
developing alternative management approaches through the planning
process. BLM resource leads for wildlife, botany, and invasive species
will be present to share the breadth of considerations and
opportunities that will be considered in the generation of
alternatives.
Tuesday, June 9, 2015: This meeting will focus on cultural and
historic values within the National Monument for which the BLM will be
developing alternative management approaches through the planning
process. The BLM resource lead for cultural and heritage resources will
be present to introduce the MAC to the requirements for considerations
and analysis in the generation of alternatives.
