TPMs can only be selected from a list
of qualified persons (TPM list) that is
developed and maintained by the
Commission. This notice seeks
additional members for the TPM list,
which was originally compiled in 2004,

TPM list do not need to reapply but are
encouraged to update their
qualifications and contact information,
if not current. Each qualified panel
member will be listed by area(s) and
sub-area(s) of technical expertise, for
example Aquatic Resources—instream

will be available to the public on the
Commission’s website. All individuals
submitting their applications to the
