to Section 315 of the FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 

1745) for the following described land: 

Carson National Forest, New Mexico

withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

A final decision on the merits of the 

application will not be made before 

January 24, 2011. 

If no valid objection is received, a 

Disclaimer of Interest may be approved 

stating that the United States does not 

have a valid interest in these surface 

lands.

Nominations for the New Mexico 

Resource Advisory Councils 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is 

to reopen the nomination period for the 

Bureau of Land Management’s (BLM) 

New Mexico Resource Advisory 

Councils (RAC). The RACs provide 

advice and recommendations to the 

BLM on land use planning and 

management of the public lands within 

their geographic areas. 

DATE: All nominations must be received 

no later than November 26, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION for the address of BLM 

offices accepting nominations. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Allison Sandoval, Bureau of Land 

Management, Correspondence, 

International, and Advisory Committee 

Office, 1849 C Street, NW., MS–401 LS, 

Washington, DC 20240; (202) 912–7434. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (FLPMA) (43 U.S.C. 1739) 

directs the Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary) to involve the public in 

planning and issues related to 

management of lands administered by 

the BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA directs 

the Secretary to establish 10- to 15- 

member citizen-based advisory councils 

that are consistent with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA). The 

rules governing RACs are found at 43 

CFR subpart 1784. As required by 

FACA, RAC membership must be 

balanced and representative of the 

various interests concerned with the 

management of the public lands. These 

include three categories: 

Category One—Holders of Federal 

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 

recreation; 

Category Two—Representatives of 

nationally or regionally recognized 

environmental organizations, 

archaeological and historic 

organizations, dispersed recreation 

activities, and wild horse and burro 

organizations; and 

Category Three—Representatives of 

state, county, or local elected office; 

representatives and employees of a state 

agency responsible for management of 

natural resources; representatives of 

Indian tribes within or adjacent to the 

area for which the council is organized; 

representatives of academia who are 

employed in natural sciences; and the 

public-at-large. 

Individuals may nominate themselves 

or others. Nominees must be residents 

of the BLM district in which the RAC 

has jurisdiction. The BLM will evaluate 

nominees based on a variety of factors, 

including training, experience, and 

knowledge of the geographical area of 

the RAC. Nominees should demonstrate 

a commitment to collaborative resource 

decisionmaking. Current administration 

policy discourages individuals who are 

currently federally registered lobbyists 

from serving on FACA and non-FACA 

boards, committees, or councils. The 

following must accompany all 

nominations: 

—Letters of reference from represented 

interests or organizations; 

—A completed background information 

nomination form; and 

—Any other information that addresses 

the nominee’s qualifications. 

The BLM’s New Mexico State Office 

will issue a press release simultaneously 

with this notice, providing additional 

information for submitting nominations, 

specifying the number and categories of 

positions available for each RAC. The 

terms of the appointments range from 1 

to 3 years in order to stagger future 

expirations. If you have already 

submitted your nomination materials for 

2010, you do not need to resubmit them. 

Nominations for RACs should be sent to 

the appropriate BLM offices listed
