The CATAC (established in March 1998) provides counsel and guidance to the Area Director, in accordance with the tribal consultation policy.  The CATAC is comprised of 14 representatives; the Area Director is the 15^th member.  Each member is selected by California Area Tribal Leaders during the Annual Tribal Consultation (during which alternate members are also determined).  The CATAC meets quarterly.
