Call for Nomination for Resource Advisory Council

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Dakotas District, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of Resource Advisory Council call for nominations.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to solicit public nominations 
for an opening on the Dakotas District Resource Advisory Council. The 
council provides advice and recommendations to BLM for land-use 
planning and management of the public lands within North and South 
Dakota. Public nominations will be accepted for 30 days after 
publication of this notice.
    The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLMPA) directs the 
Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in decisions related to 
planning for and management of lands administered by the BLM. Section 
309 of FLMPA directs the Secretary to create a citizen-based council, 
established and authorized in accordance with the requirements of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As required by FACA, Resource 
Advisory Council members must represent user or interest groups 
affected by the BLM's governance of public lands.
    The vacancy to be filled will represent environmental and resource 
conservation organizations, archaeological and historic interests, or 
wild horse and burro groups in North Dakota.
    Individuals may nominate themselves or others. Nominees must be 
residents of North Dakota. Evaluation of nominees will be based on 
education, training, understanding of the issues, and knowledge of the 
geographical area of the Council. Nominees should have demonstrated a 
commitment to collaborative resource-decision making. All nominations 
must be accompanied by a letter of reference from represented interests 
or organizations, a completed background information nomination form, 
as well as any other information that speaks to the nominee's 
qualifications.
