The
Regional Interagency Executive Committee (RIEC) serves as the
senior regional entity to assure the prompt, coordinated, and successful
implementation of the Northwest Forest Plan (NWFP) at the regional
level. The RIEC
serves as the principle conduit for communications between the region
and the national entities.
The Memorandum of Understanding between Federal agencies describes the RIEC as being responsible for developing, evaluating, and resolving consistency and implementation issues with respect to specific topics including, but not limited to: watershed analysis, restoration guidelines, Endangered Species Act requirements, adaptive management guidelines, monitoring, and research. The RIEC also reviews proposals for consistency with objectives contained in the Record of Decision, exemptions, and proposed changes to the Standards and Guidelines. The Regional Ecosystem Office serves as staff to the RIEC. |
| Related Committees | The RIEC seeks advice from the Intergovernmental Advisory Committee (IAC), constituted under the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act, regarding implementation of the NWFP and coordinates with the IAC to improve integration of forest ecosystem management activities among Federal and non-Federal government entities across jurisdictional boundaries. |
