Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 174 / Monday, September 8, 2008 / Notices The REA grants flexibility to Recreation RACs by stating that the Secretaries: • May have as many additional Recreation RACs in a State or region as the Secretaries consider necessary; • Shall not establish a Recreation RAC in a State if the Secretaries determine, in consultation with the Governor of the State, that sufficient interest does not exist to ensure that participation on the committee is balanced in terms of the points of view represented and the functions to be performed; or • May use a resource advisory committee established pursuant to another provision of law and in accordance with that law. The Forest Service and BLM elected to jointly use existing BLM RACs in the States of Arizona, Idaho, the Dakotas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. The Forest Service also chartered new Recreation RACs for the Forest Service Pacific Northwest, Pacific Southwest, Eastern, and Southern Regions, and for the State of Colorado. The Forest Service is using an existing advisory board for the Black Hills National Forest in South Dakota. In addition, the Governors of three States— Alaska, Nebraska, and Wyoming— requested that their states be exempt from the Recreation RAC requirement, and the Secretary concurred with the exemptions. Members were appointed to the Forest Service established Recreation RACs in February 2007 for three regions (Pacific Northwest, Eastern, and Southern), and July 2007 for one region (Pacific Southwest) and one State (State of Colorado). The Secretaries have signed an Interagency Agreement that authorizes the Forest Service to using existing BLM RACs and the BLM to use Forest Service established Recreation RACs for the purposes stated in the REA. Dated: September 2, 2008. Boyd K. Rutherford, Assistant Secretary for Administration. [FR Doc.
