consistent with the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA). As required by 

FACA, RAC membership must be

rules governing RACs are found at 43

following three membership categories:

grazing permits and representatives of 

organizations associated with energy 

and mineral development, timber 

industry, transportation or rights-ofway, developed outdoor recreation, offhighway vehicle use, and commercial
