federal agency, has 29 RACs across
the West, where most BLM-man-
aged land is located. Each RAC

ilnterest or exOertise in public land
management,i'c[udlng such indii:!
viduals asconservationists ranch-.
ers, outdoor recreationists, state

The diverse nembership of each
RAC helps ensure that BLM land
managers get the varying perspec-
tives they need to achieve their
mission, which is to manage the
public lands for multiple uses.
,,6Each of the RACs lend their
unique combination of geographic
and resource expertise to inform
the BLM,A6s decisions,,,l) said
Acting BLM Director Mike Pool.

selves or others to serve on an ad-
visory council.. Nominees, who
must be residents of the state or

tion, will be judged on the basis of
their training, education,' and

consensus building and collabora-
tive decisionmaking. All nomina-
tions must be accompanied by let-
ters of reference from any repr e-
sented interests or organizations; a
completed RAC application; and
any other information that speaks
to the nominee's qualifications.
