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, the 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 in which the RAC has jurisdiction. The BLM will
evaluate nominees based on their education, training, experience, and
knowledge of the geographic area of the RAC. Nominees should
demonstrate a commitment to collaborative resource decision-making.
The following must accompany all nominations:
--A completed RAC application;
--Letters of reference from represented interests or organizations; and
--Any other information that addresses the nominee's qualifications.
Simultaneous with this Notice, BLM State Offices will issue press
releases providing additional information for submitting nominations,
with specifics about the number and categories of member positions
available for each RAC in the state.
Before including any address, phone number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in the application, nominees should be
aware this information may be made publicly available at any time.
While the nominee can ask to withhold the personal identifying
information from public review, the BLM cannot guarantee that it will
be able to do so.
