SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, 
Management, and Recreation Act, Section 1223, directed the Secretary of 
the Interior to establish a seven-member citizen-based advisory council 
that is regulated by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. 
Appendix 2) and Section 309 of the Federal Land Policy and Management 
Act. The BLM rules governing advisory committees are found at 43 CFR 
1784.
    The Council advises the Secretary with respect to the preparation 
and implementation of the management plan for the San Rafael Swell 
Recreation Area. Congress created the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area 
to provide for the protection, conservation, and enhancement of the 
recreational, cultural, natural, scenic, wildlife, ecological, 
historical, and educational resources of the area. The San Rafael Swell 
Recreation Area features magnificent badlands of brightly colored and 
wildly eroded sandstone formations, deep canyons, and giant plates of 
stone tilted upright through massive geologic upheaval and features 
numerous recreational experiences including hiking, biking, four-wheel 
driving, horseback, canyoneering, and river running. Council duties and 
responsibilities are solely advisory in nature.
    The Council is seeking nominations in the following categories:
    (1) An elected leader of a federally recognized Tribe that has 
significant cultural or historical connections to, and expertise in, 
the landscape, archeological sites, or cultural sites within the 
County;
    (2) A representative of motorized recreational users; and
    (3) A representative of non-motorized recreational users.
    Members will be appointed to the Council to serve 3-year terms.
    Nominating Potential Members: Nomination forms may be obtained from

identified in the letter of nomination and on the application form.
    Members of the Council serve without compensation. However, while 
away from their homes or regular places of business, Council members 
engaged in Council business may be allowed travel expenses, including 
per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703, in the

service.
    The Council will meet approximately two to four times annually, and 
at such other times as designated by the Designated Federal Officer.
