SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A Notice
of Intent for the SPRNCA RMP and EIS
was published on April 30, 2013 (78 FR
25299), with a 90-day scoping period
that included scoping meetings during
the summer. Due to public interest, the
RMP scoping period was extended until
September 27, 2013, for a total of 150
days. This document provides notice
that the BLM Tucson Field Office,
Tucson, Arizona, intends to prepare a
TMP concurrent with the preparation of
an RMP and associated EIS for the
SPRNCA. It announces the beginning of
the TMP scoping process, and seeks
public input on travel and
transportation issues and route
designation within the SPRNCA. The
SPRNCA, which encompasses 56,347
acres of public land located within
Cochise County, Arizona, was
designated by Congress on November
18, 1988. The Arizona-Idaho
Conservation Act of 1988 (Pub. L. 100–
696) established that the land must be
managed to conserve, protect and
enhance the riparian area and the
aquatic, wildlife, archaeological,
paleontological, scientific, cultural,
educational, and recreational resources
of the area. It also requires the
designation of roads for motorized
vehicle use be included in a
comprehensive long-range plan for the
area. Developing the TMP in
conjunction with the RMP and
associated EIS will satisfy this
requirement. In addition to considering
the designation of roads for motorized
use, the TMP will identify and consider
primitive roads and trails available for
non-motorized use. Decisions in the
TMP will be limited to BLMadministered land within the planning
area boundary. The purpose of the
public scoping process is to determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis and
alternatives to be considered in
development of the TMP. Preliminary
issues for the TMP have been identified
by BLM personnel; Federal, State, and
local agencies; and other stakeholders.
They represent the BLM’s knowledge to
date of the existing issues and concerns
with current management. Some of
these issues and concerns include:
• Impacts to other public land users
and adjacent private landowners;
• Impacts to wildlife habitat;
• Impacts to water quality, cultural
sites, vegetation, including riparian and
wetland areas, and soils; and
• Identification of recreational
opportunities.
• Possible use of hierarchical
mitigation strategies that include

avoidance, minimization, and
compensation, on a local or regional
scale, if appropriate.
The BLM will use NEPA public
participation requirements to assist the
agency in satisfying the public
involvement requirements under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C. 470
(f) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The
information about historic and cultural
resources within the area potentially
affected by the proposed TMP will assist
the BLM in identifying and evaluating
impacts to such resources in the context
of both NEPA and Section 106 of the
NHPA. The BLM will consult with
Indian tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with
Executive Order 13175 and other
policies. Tribal concerns, including
impacts on Indian trust assets and
potential impacts to cultural resources,
will be given due consideration.
Federal, State, and local agencies, along
with tribes that may be interested in or
affected by the proposed TMP the BLM
is evaluating in conjunction with the
SPRNCA RMP and associated EIS are
invited to participate in the scoping
process, and if eligible, may request or
be requested by the BLM to participate
in the development of the
environmental analysis as a cooperating
agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
