SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member John Day-Snake RAC was 
chartered and appointed by the Secretary of the Interior. Their diverse 
perspectives are represented in commodity, conservation, and general 
interests. They provide advice to the BLM and, as needed, to the U.S. 
Forest Service resource managers regarding management plans and 
proposed resource actions on public land in the John Day-Snake area.
    The Planning Subcommittee was established to gather information, 
conduct research, and analyze relevant issues and facts on selected 
topics for future consideration by the RAC. The Subcommittee's primary 
goal is to provide information to the RAC members that allows them to 
better respond to time-sensitive issues, such as responding to an 
environmental document within the public comment period. No decisions 
are made at the subcommittee level.
    Standing RAC meeting agenda items include management of energy and 
minerals, timber, rangeland and grazing, commercial and dispersed 
recreation, wildland fire and fuels, and wild horses and burros; review 
of and/or recommendations regarding proposed actions by Vale or 
Prineville BLM districts and the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla, Malheur, 
Ochoco, and Deschutes National Forests; and any other business that may 
reasonably come before the RAC.
    Information to be distributed to the RAC is requested prior to the 
start of each meeting. Final agendas will be posted online at https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/resource-advisory-council/near-you/oregon-washington/john-day-rac at least one week prior to the meeting.
    The Designated Federal Officer attends all calls and meetings, 
takes minutes, and publishes these minutes on the RAC web page at 
https://www.blm.gov/get-involved/resource-advisory-council/near-you/oregon-washington/john-day-rac.
    All calls and meetings are open to the public in their entirety. 
The public may send written comments to the subcommittee and RAC in 
response to material presented. Comments can be mailed to: BLM Vale 
District; Attn. Don Gonzalez; 100 Oregon Street; Vale, OR 97918.
