SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member Idaho RAC advises the 
Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a variety of public land 
issues in Idaho. Their diverse perspectives are represented in 
commodity, non-commodity, and local area interests. The Idaho RAC 
serves in an advisory capacity to BLM officials concerning issues 
relating to land use planning and management of public land resources 
located within the State of Idaho.
    On May 14, the RAC will tour BLM managed recreation sites. The May 
15 agenda items include presentations and discussions on proposed 
recreation fee increases within the Coeur d'Alene District and the 
Salmon Field Office, updates from the State and District Offices, and a 
pre-season fire outlook. The July 11 agenda items include presentations 
on renewable energy, recreation, restoration and fuels treatments, fire 
status, and updates from the State and District Offices. On October 9, 
the RAC will tour BLM managed restoration and fuels treatments sites

    All meetings and field tours are open to the public, but members of 
the public who wish to participate in the tours must provide their own 
transportation and meals. Individuals who plan to attend and need 
special assistance, such as sign language interpretation or other 
reasonable accommodations, should contact the BLM (see FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT) at least seven business days prior to the meeting 
to give the Department of the Interior sufficient time to process your

and the time available, the amount of time for oral comments may be 
limited. Written public comments may be sent to the BLM Idaho State 
Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this notice. All comments 
received at least one week prior to the meeting will be provided to the
