SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical
Park and the Advisory Commission were established by Public Law 95-625,
November 10, 1978, as amended.
The purpose of the Advisory Commission is to advise the Director of
the National Park Service with respect to the historical,
archeological, cultural, and interpretive programs of the Park. The
Commission is to afford particular emphasis to the quality of
traditional native Hawaiian cultural practices demonstrated in the
Park.
The Advisory Commission consists of nine members, each appointed by
the Secretary of the Interior, and four ex officio non-voting members.
All nine Secretarial appointees must be residents of the State of
Hawaii, and at least six of those appointees must be native Hawaiians.
Native Hawaiians are defined as any lineal descendents of the race
inhabiting the Hawaiian Islands prior to the year 1778. At least five
members will be appointed from nominations received from Native
Hawaiian organizations to represent the interests of those
organizations. The other four members will represent other Native
Hawaiian interests. The nine voting members will be appointed for 5-
year terms.
The four ex officio members include the Park Superintendent, the
Pacific West Regional Pacific Islands Director, one person appointed by
the Governor of Hawaii, and one person appointed by the Mayor of the
County of Hawaii. The Secretary of the Interior shall designate one
member of the Commission to be Chairman.
No member may serve more than one term consecutively. Any vacancy
in the Commission shall be filled by appointment for the remainder of
the term.
We are currently seeking nominations five nomination as follows:
(1) Three members to represent Native Hawaiian interests and (2) two
members from nominations received from Native
[[Page 33553]]
Hawaiian organizations to represent the interests of those
organizations.
Nominations should be typed and must include each of the following:
A. Brief summary of no more than two (2) pages explaining the
nominee's suitability to serve on the Commission.
B. Resume or curriculum vitae.
C. At least one (1) letter of reference.
Members of the Commission will receive no pay, allowances, or
benefits by reason of their service on the Commission. 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
Section 5703 of Title 5 of the United States Code.
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.
All required documents must be compiled and submitted in one
complete nomination package. Incomplete submissions (missing one or
more of the items described above) will not be considered.
Nominations should be postmarked no later than July 13, 2015, to
