SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Land Policy and Management Act
(FLPMA) directs the Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in
planning and issues related to management of lands administered by the
BLM, through the establishment of 10- to 15-member citizen-based
advisory councils that are managed in accordance 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 rules governing RACs are found
at 43 CFR subpart 1784.
The RAC is seeking nominations in the following 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. If you have already
applied in 2020 or 2021, your nomination is still being considered and
you do not need to reapply. Nominees must be residents of the State of
Oregon. 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:
--A completed RAC application, which can either be obtained through
your local BLM office or online at: <a href="https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/1120-019_0.pdf">https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/1120-019_0.pdf</a>.
