EASTERN MONTANA RAC

***The Eastern Montana RAC was consolidated on March 5, 2020 to the Missouri Basin RAC. The information on this page will remain available for historic purposes.***

The Eastern Montana Resource Advisory Council (RAC) is an official federal advisory committee that provides advice and recommendations on all aspects of public land management to the Bureau of Land Management's Miles City and Billings Field Offices. Membership on the 15-member Eastern Montana RAC RAC is balanced to reflect various interest and users of public lands.

• 5 members representing commodity interests such as livestock grazing, timber, energy and mining, off-highway vehicle groups and developed recreation.
• 5 members representing environmental organizations, historic & culture interests, wildlife organizations, wild horses & burros, and dispersed recreation.
• 5 members representing elected officials, Tribes, state or other governmental agencies, academicians involved in natural sciences, and the public-at-large.

The Eastern Montana RAC meets from two to four times a year. Meeting locations alternate among eastern Montana communities to allow the public to address the council. The Miles City and Billings Field Managers serve as the co-Designated Federal Officials(DFO) at the meetings.
