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,
