SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Southeast Oregon RAC is chartered, and

diverse perspectives are represented in commodity, non-commodity, and 
local interests. The RAC serves in an advisory capacity to BLM and U.S. 
Forest Service (USFS) officials concerning planning and management of 
public land and national forest resources located, in whole or in part, 
within the boundaries of the BLM's Vale District, Burns District and 
Lakeview District and of the USFS's Fremont-Winema and Malheur National 
Forests. All meetings are open to the public in their entirety. The 
public should provide any information that it wishes to distribute to 
the RAC before the start of each meeting.
    Both the June and October meetings will include updates and 
opportunities for RAC input regarding the Southeast Oregon and Lakeview 
Resource Management Plan Amendment processes; discussion on rangeland, 
grazing, and wild horse and burro herd management areas; review of and 
recommendations regarding proposed actions by the Burns, Vale, or 
Lakeview BLM Districts; and any other business that may reasonably come 
before the RAC. At the June meeting, the RAC will discuss commercial 
and dispersed recreation and opportunities for maintaining and 
enhancing public land access. Topics for the October meeting include 
discussions on programmatic environmental impact statements and 
categorical exclusions and how they relate to land management in 
eastern Oregon.
    As noted earlier (see DATES), the public may address the Southeast 
Oregon RAC during the public comment portion of the meeting on June 22

other personal identifying information in your comments, please 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 
information from public review, we cannot guarantee we will be able to 
do so.
