SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act, Section 1223, directed the Secretary of the Interior to establish a seven-member citizen-based advisory council that is regulated by the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5 U.S.C. Appendix 2) and Section 309 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. The BLM rules governing advisory committees are found at 43 CFR 1784.
The Council advises the Secretary with respect to the preparation and implementation of the management plan for the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area. Congress created the San Rafael Swell Recreation Area to provide for the protection, conservation, and enhancement of the recreational, cultural, natural, scenic, wildlife, ecological, historical, and educational resources of the area. The San Rafael Swell Recreation Area features magnificent badlands of brightly colored and wildly eroded sandstone formations, deep canyons, and giant plates of stone tilted upright through massive geologic upheaval and features numerous recreational experiences including hiking, biking, four-wheel driving, horseback, canyoneering, and river running. Council duties and responsibilities are solely advisory in nature.
The Council is seeking nominations in the following categories:
(1) An elected leader of a federally recognized Tribe that has significant cultural or historical connections to, and expertise in, the landscape, archeological sites, or cultural sites within the County;
(2) A representative of motorized recreational users; and
(3) A representative of non-motorized recreational users.
Members will be appointed to the Council to serve 3-year terms.

The specific category the nominee would be representing should be identified in the letter of nomination and on the application form.
Members of the Council serve without compensation. However, while away from their homes or regular places of business, Council members engaged in Council business may be allowed travel expenses, including per diem in lieu of subsistence, as authorized by 5 U.S.C. 5703, in the same manner as persons employed intermittently in Federal Government service.
The Council will meet approximately two to four times annually, and at such other times as designated by the Designated Federal Officer.
