Background
|
Province Advisory Committees - this
committee is similar to the IAC, in the sense that this group provides
advice to Federal managers (the PIEC or Provincial Interagency Executive
Committee) at a provincial level. PACs are chartered under the
provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. USDA Departmental
Regulation #1043-37 (October
17, 2005), entitled "Advisory Committees to the PIECs" provided the basic guidelines, instructions, membership, etc.
for the PACs.

PAC Charter
(October 17, 2005)
|
Provincial Advisory Committees (PAC) make
recommendations to the Provincial Interagency
Executive Committee regarding coordination and implementation
of ecosystems strategies pursuant to the Northwest Forest Plan. PACs
provide advice on provincial level analysis and monitoring, provide a
forum for information exchange, and encourage complementary ecosystem
management among Federal and non-Federal land managers.
The PACs participate, where appropriate, in collaborative planning at
the province level across Federal and non-Federal boundaries. In
appropriate cases, PIECs may find it desirable to use mechanisms other
than, or in addition to, PACs in order to obtain advice from non-Federal
entities.
PACs may establish working groups or subcommittees as needed.
Working groups may include individuals who are not members of a PAC and
may be community-based groups that would provide advice and
recommendations to a PAC on land management issues related to Adaptive
Management Areas or other land-use classifications described in Attachment
A of the Record of Decision.
