The Northeastern Great Basin RAC covers a geographic area approximately coinciding with the Owyhee High Plateau and Central Nevada Basin and Range major land resource areas in Elko, White Pine, Lander and Eureka Counties in Nevada.

This RAC meets 3-4 times per year. Membership includes a cross section of Nevadans around the state representing energy, federal grazing, and commercial recreation interests; environmental, archaeological interests, dispersed recreation, and wild horse and burro interests; and Native Americans, elected officials, state agency representatives and the public at large. Council members are selected for their ability to provide informed, objective advice on a broad array of public lands issues and their commitment to collaboration in seeking solutions to those issues.
