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: https://www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/docs/2022-05/BLM-Form-1120-19_RAC-Application.pdf
--Letters of reference from represented interests or organizations; and
