SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Secure Rural Schools and Community

Self Determination Act establishes a

five-year payment schedule to local

counties to compensate them in part for

the decrease in funds formally derived

from the harvest of timber on federal

lands. Pursuant to the Act, BLM is

establishing five Committees for western

Oregon BLM districts that contain O&C

grant lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road

grant lands. Committees will consist of

15 local citizens representing a wide

array of interests.

The Act creates a new mechanism for

local community collaboration with

federal land management activities in

the selection of projects to be conducted

on federal lands or that will benefit

resources on federal lands using funds

under Title II of the Act.

Committee membership must be

balanced in terms of the categories of

interest represented. Members will serve

without monetary compensation, but

will be reimbursed for travel and per

diem when on Committee business, as

authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703.

Prospective members are advised that

membership on a Resource Advisory

Committee calls for a substantial

commitment of time and energy.

Any individual or organization may

nominate one or more persons to serve

on the Committees. Individuals may

also nominate themselves or others.

Nominees must reside within one of the

counties that are (in whole or part)

within the BLM District boundaries of

the Committee(s) on which membership

is sought. A person may apply for and

serve on more than one Committee.

Nominees will be evaluated based on

their education, training, and

experience relating to land use issues

and knowledge of the geographical area

of the Committee. Nominees must also

demonstrate a commitment to

collaborative resource decision-making.

You may make nominations for the

following categories of interest:

Category One—5 members who:

1. represent organized labor;
