Privacy Act Statement: The authority

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 70 / Wednesday, April 11, 2018 / Notices
appointed as an advisor, the information

official for the length of service.
Otherwise, it will be destroyed 2 years
after termination of an individual’s
membership or returned (if requested)
following announcement of the Board’s
appointments. Submittal of this
information is voluntary. However,
failure to complete any or all items will
inhibit fair evaluation of qualifications,
and could result in an individual not
receiving full consideration for
appointment.
Membership Selection: Individuals
shall qualify to serve on the Board
because of their education, training, or
experience that enables them to give
informed and objective advice regarding
the interest they represent. They should
demonstrate experience or knowledge of
the area of their expertise and a
commitment to collaborate in seeking
solutions to resource management
issues. The Board is structured to
provide fair membership and balance,
both geographic and interest specific, in
terms of the functions to be performed
and points of view to be represented.
Members are selected with the objective
of providing representative counsel and
advice about public land and resource
planning. No person is to be denied an
opportunity to serve because of race,
age, sex, religion, or national origin.
Individuals who are federally registered
lobbyists are ineligible to serve on all
FACA and non-FACA boards,
committees, or councils in an individual
capacity. The term ‘‘individual
capacity’’ refers to individuals who are
appointed to exercise their own
individual best judgment on behalf of
the government, such as when they are
designated Special Government
Employees, rather than being appointed
to represent a particular interest.
Pursuant to Section 7 of the Wild
Free-Roaming Horses and Burros Act,
members of the Board cannot be
employed by either Federal or State
governments.
