MORENO VALLEY, Calif. - The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) California Desert District is soliciting applications from the public for six members of its Special Recreation Permit (SRP) Subgroup of the California Desert District Advisory Council (DAC) to serve two-year terms.
The subgroup identifies operational issues in the application of required desert district SRP procedures, provides comments about current or proposed actions by BLM, and aids in accurately communicating SRP procedures to interested parties. Members are comprised of event permittees and participants who are familiar with planning, permitting, and implementing SRP events; representatives from 4-wheel, dual sport, and equestrian interests; and public spectators. Particular expertise desired of subgroup members includes experience with California SRP interests, and Nevada or Arizona SRP interests.
The subgroup reports its findings to the full DAC, which ultimately advises the BLM’s California Desert District Manager. All members of the DAC SRP Subgroup serve without salary and meet at least four times per year.
Applications will be accepted until May 26, 2016. Any qualified person based upon education, training, and knowledge of the BLM, the California Desert, and the issues involving the BLM SRP program may apply. The application form is on the Desert Advisory Council webpage: http://www.blm.gov/ca/st/en/info/rac/dac.html.
The Obama Administration prohibits individuals who are currently federally registered lobbyists to serve on any FACA and non-FACA boards, committees, or councils.
Applications should be sent to BLM California Desert District Manager, 22835 Calle San Juan de Los Lagos, Moreno Valley, CA 92553.
