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. As required by the
applicable regulations, RAC membership must be balanced and
representative of the various interests concerned with the management
of the public lands. The BLM regulations governing the operation of
RACs are found at 43 CFR subpart 1784.
The BLM is seeking nominations for individuals in the following two
categories:
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 Alaska. 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/default/files/docs/2022-05/BLM-Form-1120-19_RAC-Application.pdf">https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2022-05/BLM-Form-1120-19_RAC-Application.pdf</a>.
