SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Secure Rural Schools and Community Self 
Determination Act was extended to provide stability for local counties 
by compensating them, in part, for the decrease in funds formerly 
derived from the harvest of timber on Federal lands. Pursuant to the 
Act, the five Committees serve western Oregon BLM districts that 
contain Oregon and California grant lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road grant 
lands. Committees consist of 15 local citizens representing a wide 
array of interests. The RACs provide a mechanism for local community 
collaboration with Federal land managers as they select projects to be 
conducted on Federal lands or that will benefit resources on Federal 
lands using funds under Title II of the Act.
    All meetings are open to the public. The public may present written 
comments to the Council. Each formal Council meeting will also have 
time allocated for hearing public comments. Depending on the number of 
persons wishing to comment and time available, the time for individual 
oral comments may be limited. Individuals who plan to attend and need 
special assistance, such as sign language interpretation, tour 
transportation or other reasonable accommodations, should contact the 
BLM as provided above. The Resource Advisory Committees will be based 
on the following BLM District boundaries:
    Coos Bay District Resource Advisory Committee advises Federal 
officials on projects associated with Federal lands within the Coos Bay 
District which includes lands in Coos, Curry, Douglas, and Lane
