SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of a resource advisory committee 
is to improve collaborative relationships and to provide advice and 
recommendations to the BLM consistent with the objectives of the Act. 
The Committees for the five western Oregon BLM districts covered under 
the Act are composed of 15 members, plus 6 alternates, representing 
broad interest categories.
    Committee membership must be balanced in terms of the categories of 
interest represented as follows:

--Category One--Representatives of organized labor; developed outdoor 
recreation; off-highway vehicle use; energy and/or mining development; 
timber industry; or holders of federal grazing or other land use 
permits.
--Category Two--Representatives of nationally, regionally or locally 
recognized environmental organizations; dispersed recreation, 
archaeological and historic interests; or wild horse and burro groups.
--Category Three--State, county or local elected officials; 
representatives of Native American Tribes; school officials or 
teachers, or the public-at-large.

    Any individual or organization may nominate one or more persons to 
serve on the Committees. Individuals may also nominate themselves or 
others, and current members may reapply. Nominees must reside within 
one of the counties that are (in whole or part) within the BLM District 
boundaries of the Committee(s) on which membership is sought. A person 
may apply for and serve on more than one Committee. Nominees will be 
evaluated based on their education, training, experience relating to 
land use issues, recommendations from others, and knowledge of the 
geographical area of the Committee. Nominees must also demonstrate a 
commitment to collaborative resource decision-making. Members are 
appointed or reappointed for 3-year terms.
    Geographic areas for each Committee are as follows:
    Coos Bay District boundary includes federal lands within Coos, 
Curry, Douglas, and Lane Counties.
    Eugene District boundary includes federal lands within Benton, 
Douglas, Lane, and Linn Counties.
    Medford District Resource Advisory Committee boundary includes
