SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act (FLPMA) directs the Secretary of the
Interior to involve the public in
planning and issues related to
management of lands administered by
the BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43

establish 10- to 15-member citizenbased advisory councils that are
consistent with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). As required by
FACA, RAC membership must be
balanced and representative of the
various interests concerned with the
management of the public lands. The
rules governing RACs are found at 43
CFR subpart 1784 and include the
following three membership 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,

jurisdiction. The BLM will evaluate
nominees based on their education,
training, experience, and knowledge of

boards, committees, or councils.
The following must accompany all
