CHAPTER 15A--GREAT LAKES FISHERIES
Sec. 933. Advisory Committee
(a) Appointment and number of members; factors in selection
The United States Section shall appoint an advisory committee for
each of the Great Lakes, upon which committee each State bordering on
the lake may be represented by not more than four members. In making
such appointments, the United States Section shall make its selection
for each State from a list proposed by the Governor of that State; and
shall give due consideration to the interests of--
(1) State agencies having jurisdiction over fisheries;
(2) the commercial fishing industry of the lake;
(3) the sports fishing of the lake; and
(4) the public at large.
(b) Membership on other committees
A member of the advisory committee for one lake may also be a member
of the advisory committee for one or more other lakes.
(c) Compensation
The members of the advisory committee shall receive no compensation
from the Government of the United States for their services as such
members. Not more than ten members of all the committees, designated by
the committees and approved by the United States Section, may be paid by
the Government of the United States for transportation expenses and per
diem incident to attendance at the annual meeting of the Commission or
of the United States Section.
(d) Meetings
The members of the advisory committee for each lake shall be invited
to attend all nonexecutive meetings of the United States Section
relating to that lake and at such meetings shall be granted opportunity
to examine and be heard on all proposed recommendations, programs, and
activities relating to that lake.
