Advisory Committee to the U.S. Section of the Inter-American 
Tropical Tuna Commission (Committee Renewal)

    The Department of State has renewed the Charter of the Advisory 
Committee to the U.S. Section of the Inter-American Tropical Tuna 
Commission (IATTC) for another two years.
    The IATTC was established pursuant to section 4 of the Tuna 
Conventions Act of 1950 (U.S.C. 953, as amended). The goal of the 
Advisory Committee is to serve the U.S. Section of the IATTC, the 
Department of State, and other agencies of the U.S. Government, as 
advisors on matters relating to the conservation and management of 
international stocks of tuna and dolphins in the eastern tropical 
Pacific Ocean, in particular, on the development of U.S. policy and 
positions associated with such matters.
    The Committee is composed of representatives of the major U.S. tuna 
harvesting, processing, and marketing sectors. Additionally, Committee 
membership includes representatives of recreational fishing interests 
and environmental interests.
    The Advisory Committee will continue to follow the procedures 
prescribed by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). Meetings will 
continue to be open to the public unless a determination is made in 
accordance with Section 10 of the FACA, 5 U.S.C. 552b(c) (1) and (4), 
that a meeting or a portion of the meeting should be closed to the 
public. Notice of each meeting continues to be provided for publication 
in the Federal Register as far in advance as possible prior to the 
meeting.
