Background
On October 2, 2013, the Helium
Stewardship Act of 2013 (Pub. L. 113–
40) reauthorized the Act. In accordance
with the provisions of FACA, the
Secretary of Agriculture intends to
renew the charter for the RACs. The
Secretary has determined the work of
the RACs is in the public interest and
relevant to the duties of the Department
of Agriculture. Renewing the RACs is to
ensure that line officers responsible for
implementing Title II projects have
efficient and effective access to the
advice from stakeholders. Equally
important, the RACs operation
encourages early and continuous
coordination among Forest land
management agencies, and others to
participate openly and meaningfully in
planning and implementing projects to
benefit communities and forest health.
RAC Membership
The RACs consist of 15 members
appointed by the Secretary of
Agriculture and consist of members who
represent the interests of the following
three categories:
