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 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 three positions to be filled are in the following category:
    Category Three--Representatives of state, county, or local elected 
office; representatives and employees of a state agency responsible for 
the management of natural resources; representatives of Indian Tribes 
with or adjacent to the area for which the RAC is organized; 
representatives and employees of academic institutions who are involved 
in the natural sciences; and the public-at-large.
    Nominees must be residents of Utah. 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:

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

Simultaneous with this notice, BLM Utah will issue a press release 
providing additional information for submitting nominations. If you 
have already submitted your RAC nomination materials for 2014, you will 
not need to resubmit.

    Authority:  43 CFR 1784.4-1.

Associate State Director.
