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. The RACs
include the following three membership categories:
Category One--Holders of Federal grazing permits or leases within
the area for which the RAC is organized; represent interests associated
with transportation or rights-of-way; represent developed outdoor
recreation, off-highway vehicle users, or commercial recreation
activities, including, for example, commercial/charter or recreational
fishing; represent the commercial timber industry; or represent energy
and mineral development.
Category Two--Representatives of nationally or regionally
recognized environmental organizations; dispersed recreational
activities, including, for example, hunting and shooting sports;
archaeological and historical interests; or nationally or regionally
recognized wild horse and burro interest groups.
Category Three--Hold State, county, or local elected office; are
employed by a State agency responsible for the management of natural
resources, land, or water, including, for example, State/local fire
associations; represent Indian tribes within or adjacent to the area
for which the RAC is organized; are employed as academicians in natural
resource management or the natural sciences; or represent the affected
public at large, including, for example, sportsmen and sportswomen
communities.
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, which can either be obtained through
your local BLM office or online at: https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/GetInvolved_RACApplication.pdf.
--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.
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.
