Each member shall be appointed for a term of three years. A member
may serve after the expiration of that member's term until a successor
has taken office. The Chairperson of the Commission shall be elected by
the members.
We are currently seeking members representing Mount Joy Township,
Straban Township, and the State Historic Preservation Office of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Nominations should be typed and 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 of the Interior to contact a
potential member.
Members of the Commission serve without compensation. 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 may 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, 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.
