SUMMARY: In accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act

Advisory Council (RAC) will meet as follows.

DATES: The RAC will meet virtually on May 12, 2022, and host a field 
tour on May 13, 2022. The May 12 virtual meeting will begin at 9 a.m. 
and adjourn at approximately 12 p.m. The field tour will commence at 9 
a.m. and conclude at approximately 4 p.m. The meeting and field tour 
are open to the public.

meeting. The link to register for the RAC Zoom meetings is: https://blm.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_xEuoC8JvTT-Pxaq-H4uzCg.
    The RAC will take a field tour of the Anderson Butte area on May

3040 Biddle Road, Medford, Oregon, and arrive at Upper Table Rocks at

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. On May 12, the RAC will follow up on the recreation 
fee proposal in the Coos Bay District and discuss the process and next 
steps for reviewing 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 May 13, the RAC will visit Upper Table 
Rocks and the Anderson Butte Area to review Title II projects related 
to recreation improvements, youth employment, hazardous fuels 
reduction, and illegal dumping.
    Members of the public are 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 or 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 a public comment period 
will be held on May 12, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. 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 (see ADDRESSES).
    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

able to do so.
