[[Page 37278]]


ACTION: Nomination to Bakersfield Resource Advisory Council.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit public nominations to 
replace a member of the Resource Advisory Council for the Bakersfield 
District of the Bureau of Land Management. The Council provides advice 
and recommendations to BLM on the management and use of public lands 
within the Bakersfield District. Nominations will be considered for 30 
days after the publication of this notice. Resource Advisory Council 
members are divided among three categories which are representative of 
the various interests concerned with the management of public lands. 
The current vacancy is in Category Three, which includes 
representatives of State and Local government, Native American tribes, 
academicians involved in natural sciences, and the public-at-large. 
Nominations should be sent to Ron Fellows, Bakersfield District 
Manager, 3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The current vacancy exists because the 
representative of Native American tribes was no longer able to attend 
Council meetings. The successful nominee will be appointed by the 
Secretary of the Interior to fill out the balance of the term which 
expires in August of 1998. The nominee will then be eligible for 
appointment to a regular three year term. Council members serve without 
pay, but are reimbursed for expenses. Advisory Councils are authorized 
by the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), and the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Larry Mercer, Public Affairs Officer, 
Bureau of Land Management, 3801 Pegasus Drive, Bakersfield, CA 93308,
