SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit public nominations 
for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Northeastern Great Basin 
Resource Advisory Councils in Nevada. This Council provides advice and 
recommendations to BLM on land use planning and management of the 
public lands within Lander, Eureka, Elko and White Pine Counties in 
Nevada. Public nominations will be considered for 30 days after the

    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 BLM. Section 309 of 
FLPMA directs the Secretary to select 10 to 15 member citizen-based 
advisory councils that are established and authorized consistent with 
the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As 
required by the FACA, Resource Advisory Council members appointed to 
the council must be balanced and representative of the various 
interests concerned with the management of the public lands. These 
include three categories:

of energy and mining development, timber industry, off-road vehicle use 
and developed recreation;
    Category Two--representatives of environmental and resource 
conservation organizations, archaeological and historic interests, and 
wild horse and burro groups;
    Category Three--representatives of State and Local government, 
Native American tribes, academicians involved in natural sciences, and 
the public-at-large.
    The position for which nominations are sought represents wild horse 
interests in category two. Individuals may nominate themselves or 
others. Nominees must be residents of Nevada or that portion of 
California managed by Nevada Offices of the Bureau of Land Management.
