SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 15-member John Day-Snake RAC was
chartered and members are appointed by the Secretary of the Interior.
Its diverse perspectives are represented in commodity, conservation,
and general interests. It provides advice to the BLM and, as needed, to
U.S. Forest Service resource managers regarding management plans and
proposed resource actions on public land in the John Day-Snake area.
The Planning Subcommittee was established to gather information,
conduct research, and analyze relevant issues and facts on selected
topics for future consideration by the RAC. The Subcommittee's primary
goal is to provide information to the RAC members that allows them to
better respond to time-sensitive issues, such as responding to an
environmental document within the public comment period. No decisions
are made at the subcommittee level. The Subcommittee will gather
information on recreation fee proposals at the September meeting for
consideration by the RAC during its October meeting.
The RAC's October meeting will include presentations on a Malheur
National Forest recreation fee proposal for selected developed cabins
and campgrounds, and a Central Oregon Field Office fee proposal for
John Day River. The afternoon field tour is to the Restoration Fuels
thermal treatment facility where the RAC will learn about methods that
utilize tree thinnings and low-value wood materials from stewardship
projects in national forests and private-land treatments to produce
fuel for energy. Participants must register to attend the field tour at
least 14 days in advance using the contact contained in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this notice. Members of the public are
welcome on field tours but must provide their own transportation and
meals. Individuals who plan to attend and need special assistance, such
as sign language interpretation and other reasonable accommodations,
should contact the BLM (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT). Meetings
and field tours will follow current Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention COVID-19 guidance regarding social distancing and wearing of
masks. Standing agenda items include management of energy and minerals,
timber, rangeland and grazing, commercial and dispersed recreation,
wildland fire and fuels, and wild horses and burros; review of or
recommendations regarding proposed actions by Vale or Prineville BLM
districts and the Wallowa-Whitman, Umatilla, Malheur, Ochoco, and
Deschutes National Forests; and any other business that may reasonably
come before the RAC.
The Designated Federal Officer will attend the call, take minutes,
and publish these minutes on the RAC's web page (see ADDRESSES). All
calls/meetings are open to the public in their entirety.
Before including your address, phone number, email address, or
other personal identifying information in your comments, please 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
information from public review, we cannot guarantee we will be able to
do so.
