SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Land Policy and Management Act

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: https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2022-05/BLM-Form-1120-19_RAC-Application.pdf.
