SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 the 
BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1739) directs the Secretary to 
establish 10- to 15-member citizen-based advisory councils that are 
consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As required 
by FACA, RAC membership must be balanced and representative of the 
various interests concerned with the management of the public lands. 
The rules governing RACs are found at 43 CFR subpart 1784 and include 
the following three membership categories:
    Category One--Holders of Federal grazing permits and 
representatives of organizations associated with energy and mineral 
development, timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, 
developed outdoor recreation, off-highway vehicle use, and commercial 
recreation;
    Category Two--Representatives of nationally or regionally 
recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and historic 
organizations, dispersed recreation activities, and wild horse and 
burro organizations; and
    Category Three--Representatives of State, county, or local elected 
office, employees of a State agency responsible for management of 
natural resources, representatives of Indian tribes within or adjacent 
to the area for which the council is organized, representatives of 
academia who are employed in natural sciences, and the public-at-large.
    Individuals may nominate themselves or others. Nominees must be 
residents of the State of Idaho. The BLM will evaluate nominees based 
on their education, training, experience, and knowledge of the 
geographical area of the RAC. Nominees should demonstrate a commitment 
to collaborative resource decision-making. The Obama Administration 
prohibits individuals who are currently federally registered lobbyists 
from being appointed or re-appointed to FACA and non-FACA boards, 
committees, or councils.
    The following must accompany all nominations for the RAC:

--Letters of reference from represented interests or organizations;
--A completed Resource Advisory Council application; and
--Any other information that addresses the nominee's qualifications.

    Simultaneous with this notice, the BLM Idaho state office will 
issue a press release providing additional information for submitting 
nominations, with specifics about the number and categories of member 
positions available for the RAC. If you have already submitted your RAC 
nomination materials for 2014 you will not need to resubmit. 
Nominations for the Coeur d'Alene RAC should be sent to the appropriate 
BLM office as noted below:
