In addition, the Governors of three
states—Alaska, Nebraska and
Wyoming—requested that their States
be exempt from the REA-RIRAC
requirement, and the two Departments
concurred with the exemptions.
Members were appointed to the
Pacific Northwest Recreation RAC in
February 2007 for either two-year or
three year terms. The terms for the twoyear members will expire February
2009. The Pacific Northwest Recreation
RAC provides recreation fee
recommendations to both the Forest
Service and the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM). The Recreation
RAC makes recreation fee program
recommendations on implementing or
eliminating standard amenity fees;
expanded amenity fees; and
noncommercial, individual special
recreation permit fees; expanding or
limiting the recreation fee program; and
fee-level changes.
Recreation RAC Composition
The Recreation RAC consists of 11
members appointed by the Secretary.
These members provide a broad and
balanced representation from the
recreation community as follows:
(1) Five persons who represent
recreation users and that include, as
appropriate, the following:
a. Winter motorized recreation, such
as snowmobiling;
b. Winter non-motorized recreation,
such as snowshoeing, cross-country and
downhill skiing, and snowboarding;
c. Summer motorized recreation, such
as motorcycles, boaters, and off-highway
vehicles;
d. Summer non-motorized recreation,
such as backpacking, horseback riding,
mountain biking, canoeing, and rafting;
and
e. Hunting and fishing.
(2) Three persons who represent
interest groups that include, as
appropriate, the following:
a. Motorized outfitters and guides;
b. Non-motorized outfitters and
guides; and
c. Local environmental groups.
(3) Three persons, as follows:
a. State tourism official to represent
the State;
b. A person who represents affected
Indian tribes; and
c. A person who represents affected
local government interests.
• Identify what interest group they
would represent and how they are
qualified to represent that group;
• State why they want to serve on the
committee and what they can
contribute;
• Show their past experience in
working successfully as part of a
collaborative group; and
• Complete Form AD–755, Advisory
Committee or Research and Promotion
Background Information.
Letters of recommendation are
welcome. Individuals may also
nominate themselves. Nominees do not
need to live in a state within a particular
Recreation RAC’s area of jurisdiction
nor live in a state in which Forest
Service-managed lands are located.
Application packets, including
evaluation criteria and the AD–755
form, are available at https://
www.fs.fed.us/passespermits/rrac or by
contacting the respective regions
identified in this notice. Nominees must
submit all documents to the appropriate
regional contact. Additional information
about recreation fees and REA is
available at https://www.fs.fed.us/
passespermits/about-rec-fees.shtml.
The Forest Service will also work
with Governors and county officials to
identify potential nominees.
The Forest Service will review the
applications and prepare a list of
qualified applicants from which the
Secretary shall appoint both members
and alternates. An alternate will become
a participating member of the
Recreation RAC only if the member for
whom the alternate is appointed to
replace leaves the committee
permanently.
Recreation RAC members serve
without pay but are reimbursed for
travel and per diem expenses for
regularly scheduled committee
meetings. All Recreation RAC meetings
are open to the public and an open
public forum is part of each meeting.
Meeting dates and times will be
determined by agency officials in
consultation with the Recreation RAC
members.
