SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The D–E 

NCA and Dominguez Canyon 

Wilderness, located within the D–E 

NCA, were established by the Omnibus 

Public Land Management Act of 2009, 

Public Law 111–11 (Act). The D–E NCA 

is comprised of approximately 210,172 

acres of public land, including 

approximately 66,280 acres designated 

as Dominguez Canyon Wilderness 

located in Delta, Montrose and Mesa 

counties, Colorado. The purpose of the 

D–E NCA is to conserve and protect the 

unique and important resources and 

values of the land for the benefit and 

enjoyment of present and future 

generations. These resources and values 

include the geological, cultural, 

archaeological, paleontological, natural, 

scientific, recreational, wilderness, 

wildlife, riparian, historical, 

educational, and scenic resources of the 

public lands; and the water resources of 

area streams based on seasonally 

available flows that are necessary to 

support aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial 

species and communities. 

According to the Act, the 10-member 

Council is to include, to the extent 

practicable: 

1. One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

Mesa County Commission; 

2. One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

Montrose County Commission; 

3. One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

Delta County Commission; 

4. One member appointed after 

considering the recommendations of the 

permittees holding grazing allotments 

within the D–E NCA or the wilderness; 

and 

5. Six members who reside in, or 

within reasonable proximity to Mesa, 

Delta or Montrose counties, Colorado, 

with backgrounds that reflect: 

a. The purposes for which the D–E 

NCA or wilderness was established; and

b. The interests of the stakeholders 

that are affected by the planning and 

management of the D–E NCA and 

wilderness. 

The two solicited applications will 

replace the Council member 

representing Delta County and a Council 

member representing wildlife interests. 

The new nominations should ensure 

that the Council remains representative 

of the stakeholder groups and 

geographical areas with an interest in 

the management of the D–E NCA, as 

mandated by the Omnibus Public Lands 

Management Act of 2009 (Act). Any 

individual or organization may 

nominate one or more persons to serve 

on the Council. Individuals may 

nominate themselves for Council 

membership. The Obama 

Administration prohibits individuals 

who are currently federally registered 

lobbyists from serving on all Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and 

non-FACA boards, committees or 

councils. Nomination forms may be 

obtained from the BLM Grand Junction 

or Uncompahgre field offices or 

downloaded from the following Web 

site: http://www.blm.gov/co/st/en/nca/

denca/denca_rmp/DENCA_Resource_

Advisory_Council.html. 

Nomination packages must include a 

completed nomination form, letters of 

reference from the represented interests 

or organizations, and any other 

information relevant to the nominee’s 

qualifications. Letters of reference can 

be from an organization or from anyone 

who is familiar with the nominee’s 

ability to speak as an expert on the topic 

of interest. Nominations are open to 

new and currently seated members. The 

Grand Junction and Uncompahgre field 

offices will review the nomination 

packages in coordination with the 

affected counties and the Governor of 

Colorado before forwarding 

recommendations to the Secretary, who 

will make the appointments. 

The Council shall be subject to the 

FACA, 5 U.S.C. App. 2; and the Federal 

Land Policy and Management Act of 

1976, 43 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.
