planning, or preservation education.
Nominations should be typed and should include a resume providing

informed decision regarding meeting the membership requirements of the

Members of the Board serve without compensation. However, while
away from their homes or regular places of business in the performance
of services for the Board 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 Federal Advisory Committee Act (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.
