SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member Western Oregon RAC advises the
Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of public-land
issues across public lands in Western Oregon, including the Coos Bay,
Medford, Northwest Oregon, and Roseburg Districts and part of the
Lakeview District. At the March meeting, the RAC will review the Secure
Rural School Title II funding and recreation fee proposal process and
focus on review of Secure Rural School Title II funding projects. Title
II funds support restoration projects that may not otherwise have been
completed, such as the improved maintenance of existing infrastructure,
enhancement of forest ecosystems, and restoration of land health and
water quality. In turn, these projects create additional employment
opportunities in western Oregon communities and foster collaborative
relationships between those who use public lands and those who manage
them.
On April 1, the RAC will visit the Edson Campground and Sixes River
Campground to prepare for review of potential recreation fee proposals.
The public is welcome to attend the field tour and must provide
their own transportation and meals. Individuals who plan to attend must
RSVP to the BLM Medford District Office at least 2 weeks in advance of
the field tour (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Please indicate
whether you need special assistance, such as sign language
interpretation and other reasonable accommodations. The field tour will
follow current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention COVID-19
guidance regarding social distancing and mask wearing.
The meetings are open to the public, and public comment periods
will be held on March 30 and 31, 2022, at 2:30 p.m. each day. Depending
on the number of persons wishing to comment and the time available,
time allotted for individual oral comments may be limited. The public
may submit written comments to the RAC by emailing the RAC coordinator
at [email protected].
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be
aware that your entire comment--including your personal identifying
information--may be made publicly available at any time. While you can
ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying
