SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Land Policy and Management Act

planning and issues related to management of lands administered by the 
BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1739) directs the Secretary to 
establish 10- to 15-member citizen-based advisory councils that are 
consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As required 
by FACA, RAC membership must be balanced, and representative of the 
various interests concerned with the management of the public lands. 
The BLM's regulations governing RACs are found at 43 CFR 1784 and 
include the following three membership categories:
    Category One--Holders of Federal grazing permits or leases within 
the area for which the RAC is organized; represent interests associated 
with transportation or rights-of-way; represent developed outdoor 
recreation, off-highway vehicle users, or commercial recreation 
activities; represent the commercial timber industry; or represent 
energy and mineral development.
    Category Two--Representatives of nationally or regionally 
recognized environmental organizations; dispersed recreational 
activities; archaeological and historical interests; or nationally or 
regionally recognized wild horse and burro interest groups.
    Category Three--Hold State, county, or local elected office; are 
employed by a State agency responsible for the management of natural 
resources, land, or water; represent Indian tribes within or adjacent 
to the area for which the RAC is organized; are employed as 
academicians in natural resource management or the natural sciences; or 
represent the affected public-at-large.
    Individuals may nominate themselves or others. Nominees must be 
residents of the State of Nevada. The BLM will evaluate nominees based 
on their education, training, experience, and knowledge of the 
geographic area of the RAC. Nominees should demonstrate a commitment to 
collaborative resource decision-making.
    The following must accompany all nominations:
