L. 106-393).

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
SUMMARY: This notice is published in accordance with Section 10(a)(2) 
of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. Meeting notice is hereby given 
for the Roseburg District BLM Resource Advisory Committee pursuant to 
Section 205 of the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self 
Determination Act of 2000, Public Law 106-393 (the Act). The committee 
will convene three times to review, discuss, and recommend funding for 
project proposals submitted under Title II of the Act. The first 
meeting will consist of a field trip to past and proposed project 
locations. At the second meeting, applicants will have an opportunity 
to make brief presentations regarding their projects. At the third 
meeting the committee will discuss projects and make funding 
recommendations. A fourth meeting is scheduled as a contingency, in 
case the Committee is not able to complete all its work at the previous 
meetings. At all meetings, a period will be set aside for public 
comments.

DATES: The Roseburg Resource Advisory Committee will meet at the BLM 
Roseburg District Office, 777 NW., Garden Valley Boulevard, Roseburg, 
Oregon 97470, on the following dates and times:
    April 24, 2006, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to the Act, five Resource Advisory 
Committees have been formed for western Oregon BLM districts that 
contain Oregon & California (O&C) Grand Lands and Coos Bay Wagon Road 
lands. The Act establishes a 6-year payment schedule to local counties 
in lieu of funds derived from the harvest of timber on Federal lands, 
which have dropped dramatically over the past 10 years.
    The Act creates a new mechanism for local community collaboration 
with Federal land management activities in the selection of projects to 
be conducted on Federal lands or that will benefit resources on Federal 
lands using funds under Title II of the Act. The Roseburg District BLM 
Resource Advisory Committee consists of 15 local citizens (plus 6 
alternates) representing a wide array of interests.
