(FLPMA) of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1739) and in conformity with the Federal 
Advisory Committee Act (FACA) of 1972 (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2). The 
councils advise the Secretary of the Interior, through the BLM, on a 
variety of planning and management issues associated with public land 
management in the respective geographic areas. The Secretary appoints 
persons who are representatives of the various major citizen interests 
pertaining to land-use planning and management of the lands under BLM 
management.
    Each member of the two RACs will be a person who, as a result of 
training and experience, has knowledge or special expertise which 
qualifies him or her to provide advice from among the categories of 
interest listed below. As appropriate, certain council members may be 
appointed as Special Government Employees, who serve on the councils 
without compensation, and are subject to financial disclosure 
requirements in the Ethics in Government Act and 5 CFR part 2634.
    This notice, published pursuant to 43 CFR 1784.4-1, solicits public 
nominations to fill positions on the councils. The five positions open 
in the Central California RAC are in the following categories:

regionally recognized environmental organizations, archaeological and 
historical organizations, dispersed recreation activities, and wild 
horse and burro organizations.
    Category Three (one position)--Representatives of State, county, or 
local elected office; representatives and employees of a State agency 
responsible for the management of natural resources; representatives of 
Indian Tribes within or adjacent to the area for which the RAC is 
organized; representatives and employees of academic institutions who 
are involved in natural sciences; and the public-at-large.
    The Northern California RAC has five openings in the following 
membership categories:
    Category One--(Two positions) Members are public land ranchers and

development, the timber industry, transportation or rights-of-way, off-

nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations, 
archaeological and historical organizations, dispersed recreation

and employees of a State agency responsible for the management of 
natural resources; representatives of Indian tribes within or adjacent

Services Administration rates. The committees will meet at least twice
