Four people have been appointed to serve on the Resource Advisory Council, which helps guide public land-use decisions.

Appointed for the three-year terms were Norman Carroll, Orderville; John Busch, Vernal; Clair Cutler, Salt Lake City; and Drew Sitterud, Ferron. Interior Secretary Gale Norton said council members provide valuable assistance in helping determine how lands owned by the Bureau of Land Management should be used.

"We value the input that the Utah Resource Advisory Council provides in helping the BLM manage America's lands," Norton said.
