TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY

 
Establishment of Land Between The Lakes Advisory Committee

    Notice is hereby given that, in consultation with the General 
Services Administration, it has been determined that the establishment 
of an advisory committee on the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) Land 
Between The Lakes National Recreation Area (LBL) is necessary and in 
the public interest. Accordingly, TVA has chartered the Land Between 
The Lakes Advisory Committee (LBLAC).
    The LBLAC will be an effective instrument to provide advice and 
recommendations to TVA. LBL is a 170,000-acre area located in western 
Kentucky and Tennessee bounded by the Tennessee River on the west and 
the Cumberland River on the east. It is one of the largest tracts of 
Federal land in the eastern United States. It is managed by TVA for 
multiple purposes to optimize a wide variety of outdoor recreation uses 
and to provide a national resource for environmental education. At LBL, 
innovative programs in these fields can be tested and carried out. LBL 
is also a significant economic stimulus for the surrounding region. TVA 
is establishing the LBLAC to broaden representation of diverse 
interests and increase the frequency of advice TVA receives from the 
public and private sectors in regard to its management and operation of 
LBL. TVA anticipates that the LBLAC will add important perspectives in 
the management and operation of LBL to the benefit of its resources, 
its visitors, and the economy of the region.
    In order to attain a diverse and balanced membership, the LBLAC 
will consist of 17 members appointed by the TVA Board of Directors as 
follows:
    <bullet> 5 persons selected by the TVA Board;
    <bullet> 2 persons selected by the Governor of Tennessee;
    <bullet> 2 persons selected by the Governor of Kentucky;
    <bullet> 1 person selected by the Commissioner of the Kentucky 
Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources;
    <bullet> 1 person selected by the Director of the Tennessee 
Wildlife Resources Agency;
    <bullet> 2 persons selected by the Judge Executive of Lyon County, 
Kentucky;

    <bullet> 2 persons selected by the Judge Executive of Trigg County,

    <bullet> 2 persons selected by the County Executive of Stewart 
County, Tennessee.

compliance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. 
Its charter is being filed at this time in accordance with approval by 
the General Services Administration Secretariat pursuant to 41 CFR 101-
6.1015(a)(2).
