Meeting Notice

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Meeting notice for the Salem, Oregon, Bureau of Land Management 
(BLM) Resource Advisory Committee under Section 205 of the Secure Rural

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

SUMMARY: This notice is published in accordance with section 10(a)(2) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Meeting notice is hereby given 
for the Salem Oregon BLM Resource Advisory Committee pursuant to 
section 205 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self 
Determination Act of 2000, Public Law 106-393 (the Act). Topics to be 
discussed by the Salem BLM Resource Advisory Committee include: 
reviewing 2005 project applications, developing funding recommendations 
for 2005 projects, monitoring progress of previously approved projects, 
and scheduling field reviews of projects.

DATES: The Salem Resource Advisory Committee will meet at the BLM Salem 
District Office, 1717 Fabry Road, Salem, Oregon 97306, from 8:30 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Act, five Resource Advisory 
Committees have been formed for western Oregon BLM districts that 
contain Oregon & California (O&C) Grant Lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road 
lands. The Act establishes a six-year payment schedule to local 
counties in lieu of funds derived from the harvest of timber on Federal 
lands, which have dropped dramatically over the past 10 years.
    The Act creates a new mechanism for local community collaboration 
with Federal land management activities in the selection of projects to 
be conducted on Federal lands or that will benefit resources on Federal 
lands using funds under Title II of the Act. The BLM Resource Advisory 
Committees consist of 15 local citizens (plus 6 alternates) 
representing a wide array of interests.
