   OTHER DISCIPLINE
   Ms. Charlanne J. Quinto, M.E.
   Mr. James Crawford
   Mr. Urban L. Giff
   Mr. Leo Cummings
   Ms. M.J. Longley, Ed.D.
   Mr. Terry Martin

   In reference to the “Other Discipline” memberships, the Federal Advisory
   Committee Act regulations (41 CFR), at §102-3.30 (c), require advisory
   committees to have a balanced membership, regarding points-of-view
   represented and the functions to be performed. Factors to be considered in
   achieving such a membership include the committee’s mission and the
   geographic, ethnic, social, economic, or scientific impact of the committee’s
   recommendations. Perspectives may be those of consumers, technical experts,
   the public at-large, academia, or business or other sectors.

   Within this framework, and in addition to the regional representation, it is
   permissible for the composition of the Council to include individuals with certain
   expertise to assist in accomplishing its mission. These individuals, as are all
   members of the Council, must be representatives of Indian Tribes, Tribal
   organizations, Alaska Native entities, Indian-controlled organizations serving
   Indians, or Native Hawaiian organizations. In nominating Other Discipline
   representatives, the factors described above must be considered.

4. Action. The Secretary of Labor may consider nominations for appointment to
   the Council as submitted by the grantee communities. All members listed above
   are still eligible for nomination. The Employment and training Administration
   will accept nominations electronically submitted to the Designated Federal
   Official (DFO), Craig Lewis, at [email protected] or by fax at (202) 693-3817.
   Nominations may also be mailed to:

      U.S. Department of Labor
      Indian and Native American Program
      Employment and Training Administration
      200 Constitution Avenue, NW
      Room S-4209
      Washington, D.C. 20210
      Attention: Mr. Craig Lewis, DFO
      Phone: (202) 693-3384

   All nominations must be submitted (U.S. Postmarked or electronically dated
   (e-mail)) no later than forty-five calendar days, excluding any Federal holidays,
   from the date of this guidance. Submit Council nominations on the attached
   form. Nominations may also be sent by commercial carrier to the above address.

   Grantee (including those designated as Public Law 102-477) representatives in
   Regions I, III, and Hawaii may submit nominations for expiring memberships in
   their areas only.

   Indian tribes and Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian organizations
   that do not administer a Section 166 grant may submit nominations. Public Law
   102-477 grantee representatives are eligible for appointment to the Council. Self-
   nominations will be accepted.

   In submitting nominations, consider the availability of the nominee to attend and
   actively participate in Council meetings (a minimum of two meetings annually),
   serve on Council workgroups, and provide feedback to the grantee community.
   Communication between the Council member and his or her constituency is
   essential to the partnership between the Employment and Training
   Administration and the Indian and Native American community.

5. Inquiries. Contact Craig Lewis, DFO, at (202) 693-3384.
