Call for Nomination for Resource Advisory Council

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of vacancy on Resource Advisory Council and call for 
nominations.

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

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit public nominations 
for the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM's) Sierra Front-Northwestern 
Great Basin Resource Advisory Council (RAC) in Nevada, to fill a 
vacancy on that RAC for an employee of the State of Nevada. The RAC 
provides advice and recommendations to BLM's Winnemucca and Carson City 
Field Offices on land use planning and management of the public lands 
within their geographic areas. Public nominations will be considered 
for 45 days after the publication date of this notice.
    The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) directs the 
Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in planning and issues 
related to management of lands administered by BLM. Section 309 of 
FLPMA directs the Secretary to select 10 to 15 member citizen-based 
advisory councils that are established and authorized consistent with 
the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As 
required by the FACA, the interests represented by the individuals 
appointed to the RAC must be balanced and representative of the various 
issues concerned with the management of public lands.
    These include three categories, one of which is Category three, 
holders of State, county or local elected office, employees of a State 
agency responsible for management of natural resources, academicians 
involved in natural sciences, representatives of Indian tribes, and the 
public-at-large.
    The employee of a State agency whose term has not yet expired has 
resigned from this RAC, and this notice is to solicit nominations for a 
replacement. Nominations should be sent to Jo Simpson, Nevada State 
Office, BLM, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada, 89520-0006; Telephone (775) 
861-6586.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jo Simpson, U.S. Department of the 
Interior, Bureau of Land Management, Office of Communications, P.O. Box 
12000, Reno, Nevada, 89520-0006.

    Dated: June 20, 2000.

Acting Chief, Office of Communications.
