currently valid OMB control number.
Until OMB approves a collection of
information, you are not obligated to
respond. In order to obtain and renew
an OMB control number, Federal
agencies are required to seek public
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR

changed the collection in response to
the comment.
The BLM now requests comments on
the following subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.

be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment

the Secretary of the Interior (Secretary)
to involve the public in planning and
issues related to management of lands
administered by the BLM. Section 309
of FLPMA directs the Secretary to
establish citizen-based advisory
councils that are consistent with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act
(FACA). As required by FACA, council
membership must be balanced and
representative of the various interests
concerned with the management of
public lands. The rules governing

CFR subpart 1784.
The John Day-Snake RAC seeks
nominations to fill one vacancy in one

Representatives of State, county, or local
elected office; representatives and

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

Nominees should demonstrate a
commitment to collaborative resource
decision-making. The Obama
Administration prohibits individuals
who are currently federally registered
lobbyists to serve on all FACA and nonFACA boards, committees, or councils.
All nominations must include:
(1) Letters of reference from a
stakeholder in the interest area to be
represented; (2) A completed
background information nomination
