The eight states of the basins and the <br />nine federal agencies having a participating responsibility in the <br />development of the water and related land resources of the basins are <br />AWRBIAC members. The Governor of each state designates the official <br />representative on the committee. Each federal agency has designated <br />a representative to serve on the committee. The Chair Agency, <br />selected on an annual basis a year in advance by and from the <br />participating agencies, provides a Secretary for the AWRBIAC. The <br />Secretary serves as Chairman of the Administrative Committee, which <br />is responsible for AWRBIAC meeting arrangements and dissemination of <br />program materials. <br /> <br />In accordance with the Articles of Organization and Procedure, <br />problems and business of AWRBIAC, either technical or general in <br />nature, which require continuing but more detailed consideration than <br />can be given by the AWR Committee as a whole, are referred to <br />appropriate standing committees. Active standing committees are the <br />standing committees on Comprehensive Planning and Environmental <br />Resources. The overall functional charges to these committees are <br />listed in Appendix 1. <br /> <br />Ad hoc committees may be appointed on a short-term basis to deal with <br />special transitory technical policy problems. An ad hoc committee on <br />the 1975 Assessment was formed at the April 1972 meeting and was <br />composed of members from each state and federal agency. The ad hoc <br />committee on the 1975 Assessment was given standing committee status <br />as the Comprehensive Planning Committee in anticipation of continuing <br />activity. . <br /> <br />-2- <br />
