Advisory Committees
|
|
The Office of Policy coordinates the management of 4 NPS
operating commissions and more than 30 NPS
advisory committees. We also staff and support the National
Park System Advisory Board. |
|
Congress passed the Federal
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) in 1972 to create an orderly way for
federal agencies to seek advice and help from citizens and experts. The Guide
acquaints NPS managers and employees with FACA, describes how FACA applies to
NPS management activities, and provides standard procedures for establishing
and renewing advisory committees. |
