    8. Career Highlights: Significant related experience, civic and 
professional activities, elected offices (include prior advisory 
committee experience or career achievements related to the interest to 
be represented). Attach additional pages, if necessary;
    9. Qualifications: Education, training, and experience that qualify 
you to serve on the Board;
    10. Experience or knowledge of wild horse and burro management;
    11. Experience or knowledge of horses or burros (Equine health,

    12. Experience in working with disparate groups to achieve

    13. Identification of any BLM permits, leases, or licenses held by 
the individual or his or her employer;
    14. Indication of whether the individual is a federally registered

    15. Explanation of interest in serving on the Board.
    At least one letter of reference sent from special interests or 
organizations the individual may represent, including, but not limited 
to, business associates, friends, co-workers, local, State, and/or 
Federal government representatives, or members of Congress should be 
included along with any other information that is relevant to the 
individual's qualifications.
    As appropriate, certain Board members may be appointed as special 
government employees. Special government employees serve on the Board 
without compensation, and are subject to financial disclosure 
requirements in the Ethics in Government Act and 5 CFR 2634. 
Nominations are to be sent to the address listed under ADDRESSES above.
    Privacy Act Statement: The authority to request this information is 
contained in 5 U.S.C. 301, the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 
and 43 CFR part 1784. The appointment officer uses this information to 
determine education, training, and experience related to possible 
service on a BLM advisory council. When an individual is

[[Page 15600]]

appointed as an advisor, the information will be retained by the 
appointing official for the length of service. Otherwise, it will be 
destroyed 2 years after termination of an individual's membership or 
returned (if requested) following announcement of the Board's 
appointments. Submittal of this information is voluntary. However, 
failure to complete any or all items will inhibit fair evaluation of 
qualifications, and could result in an individual not receiving full 
consideration for appointment.
    Membership Selection: Individuals shall qualify to serve on the 
Board because of their education, training, or experience that enables 
them to give informed and objective advice regarding the interest they 
represent. They should demonstrate experience or knowledge of the area 
of their expertise and a commitment to collaborate in seeking solutions 
to resource management issues. The Board is structured to provide fair 
membership and balance, both geographic and interest specific, in terms 
of the functions to be performed and points of view to be represented. 
Members are selected with the objective of providing representative 
counsel and advice about public land and resource planning. No person 
is to be denied an opportunity to serve because of race, age, sex, 
religion, or national origin. 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.
    Pursuant to Section 7 of the Wild Free-Roaming Horses and Burros 
Act, members of the Board cannot be employed by either Federal or State 
governments.
