Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services

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
[[Page 83515]]
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 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 in which the RAC has jurisdiction. 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>
