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. 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 rules 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:
--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>.
