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) Mojave Southern Great Basin 
Resource Advisory Council (RAC) to fill a vacancy on the RAC for an 
individual employed by the State of Nevada. The RAC provides advice and 
recommendations to BLM's Las Vegas and Ely field offices on land use 
planning and management of the public lands within their geographic 
areas. Public nominations will be received 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 State employee whose term has not yet expired has left state 
government, and this notice is to solicit nominations for replacements. 
Nominations should be sent to Jo Simpson, BLM Nevada State Office, 1340 
Financial Boulevard, P.O. Box 12000, Reno, Nevada, 89520-0006; 
telephone (775) 861-6586.
