2016 Second Call for Nominations for Certain New Mexico Resource 
Advisory Councils

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The purpose of this notice is to reopen the request for public 
nominations for certain New Mexico Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 
Resource Advisory Councils (RAC) that have member terms expiring this 
year. These RACs provide advice and recommendations to the BLM on land 
use planning and management of the National System of Public Lands 
within their geographic areas. The RACs covered by this request for 
nominations are identified below. The BLM will accept public 
nominations for 30 days after the publication of this notice.

DATES: All nominations must be received no later than September 30, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for the address of BLM New 
Mexico Offices accepting nominations.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allison Sandoval, U.S. Department of 
the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, New Mexico State Office, 301 
Dinosaur Trail, Santa Fe, NM 87502-0115; 505-954- 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Land Policy and Management Act 
(FLPMA) directs the Secretary of the Interior to involve the public in 
planning and issues related to management of lands administered by the 
BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43 U.S.C. 1739) directs the Secretary to 
establish 10- to 15-member citizen-based advisory councils that are 
consistent with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA). As required 
by FACA, RAC membership must be balanced and representative of the 
various interests concerned with the management of the public lands. 
The rules governing RACs are found at 43 CFR subpart 1784 and include 
the following three membership categories:
    Category One--Holders of Federal grazing permits or leases; 
representatives of energy and mineral development; representatives of 
the commercial timber industry; representatives of interests associated 
with transportation or rights-of-way; or representatives of developed 
outdoor recreation, off-highway vehicle use, and commercial recreation;
    Category Two--Representatives of nationally or regionally 
recognized environmental organizations; archaeological and historic 
organizations; dispersed recreation activities; or nationally or 
regionally recognized wild horse and burro organizations; and
    Category Three--Persons who hold State, county, or local elected 
office; employees of a State agency responsible for management of 
natural resources, land or water; representatives of Indian tribes 
within or adjacent to the area for which the council is organized; 
persons who are employed as academicians in natural resource management 
or natural sciences; or representatives of the affected public-at-
large.
    Those who have already submitted a nomination in response to the 
first call for nominations (published in the Federal Register on March 
18, 2016, 81 FR 14879) do not need to resubmit. All nominations from 
the first and second calls will be considered together during the 
review process. Individuals may nominate themselves or others. Nominees 
must be residents of the State of New Mexico. The BLM will evaluate 
nominees based on their education, training, experience, and knowledge 
of the geographical area of the RAC. Nominees should demonstrate a 
commitment to collaborative resource decision-making. Individuals who 
are Federally registered lobbyists are ineligible to serve on all FACA 
and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils in an individual capacity. 
The term ``individual capacity'' refers to individuals who are 
appointed to exercise their own individual best judgment on behalf of 
the government, such as when they are designated Special Government 
Employees, rather than being appointed to represent a particular 
interest. The following must accompany all nominations for the RACs:

-- Letters of reference from represented interests or organizations;
-- A completed Resource Advisory Council application; and
-- Any other information that addresses the nominee's qualifications.

    Simultaneous with this notice, the BLM New Mexico State Office will 
issue press releases providing additional information for submitting 
nominations, with specifics about the number and categories of member 
positions available for each RAC.
    Nominations and completed applications for RACs should be sent to 
the appropriate BLM offices listed below:
    Albuquerque District RAC: Carlos Coontz, Socorro Field Office, BLM, 
901 South Highway 85, Socorro, NM 87801, (575) 838-1263.
    Farmington District RAC: Tamara Faust, Farmington District Office, 
BLM, 6251 College Boulevard, Farmington, NM 87402, (505) 564-7762.
