Applicants sought for permits subgroup

The Bureau of Land Management’s California Desert District is accepting applications from the public for six members of its Special Recreation Permit subgroup of the California Desert District Advisory Council to serve twoyear terms.

Applications will be accepted until Jan. 21 and can be found on the Desert Advisory Council webpage, https:// www.blm.gov/get-involved/rac/california/california-desert-district

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 four-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 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.

Any qualified person based upon education, training and knowledge of the BLM, the California Desert, and the issues involving the BLM SRP program. Administration policy 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.
