which are consistent with the requirements of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act (FACA). As required by FACA, Resource Advisory Council 
(RAC) membership must be balanced and representative of the various 
interests concerned with the management of the public lands. The BLM 
regulations governing RACs are found at 43 CFR part 1784.

Three (representing Holders of State, county, or local elected office; 
employees of a State agency responsible for management of natural 
resources; members of an Indian Tribe; academicians involved in natural 
sciences; and the public-at-large). Upon appointment, the individual
