SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The D-E NCA and Dominguez Canyon Wilderness, 
located within the D-E NCA, were established by the Omnibus Public Land 
Management Act of 2009, Public Law 111-11 (Act). The D-E NCA is 
comprised of approximately 210,172 acres of public land, including 
approximately 66,280 acres designated as Dominguez Canyon Wilderness, 
located in Delta, Montrose and Mesa counties, Colorado. The purpose of 
the D-E NCA is to conserve and protect the land's unique resources for 
the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. These 
values include the geological, cultural, archaeological, 
paleontological, natural, scientific, recreational, wilderness, 
wildlife, riparian, historical, educational, and scenic resources of 
the public lands as well as the water resources of area streams based 
on seasonally available flows that are necessary to support aquatic, 
riparian, and terrestrial species and communities. According to the 
Act, the 10-member council must include, to the extent practicable:
    1. One member appointed after considering the recommendations of 
the Mesa County Commission;
    2. One member appointed after considering the recommendations of 
the Montrose County Commission;
    3. One member appointed after considering the recommendations of 
the Delta County Commission;
    4. One member appointed after considering the recommendations of 
the permittees holding grazing allotments within the D-E NCA or the 
wilderness; and
    5. Six members who reside in or within reasonable proximity to 
Mesa, Delta or Montrose counties with backgrounds that reflect:
    a. The purposes for which the D-E NCA or wilderness was 
established; and
    b. The interests of the stakeholders that are affected by the 
planning and management of the D-E NCA and wilderness.
    Appointments for a position based on the recommendations of the 
Delta County Commission and a position representing wildlife interests 
have already been filled and will not expire this year. The BLM is 
soliciting nominations for the other eight positions on the Council. 
Nominees should reside in or within close proximity to Mesa, Delta, or 
Montrose counties. Any individual or organization may nominate one or 
more persons to serve on the Council. Individuals may nominate 
themselves for Council membership. The Obama Administration prohibits 
individuals who are currently federally-registered lobbyists from 
serving on all Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and non-FACA 
boards, committees or councils. Nomination forms may be obtained from 
the BLM Grand Junction or Uncompahgre field offices, or may be 
downloaded from the following Web
