During the nine years since
implementation of the 1995 grazing
reforms, a number of discrete concerns
have been raised regarding the
administration of grazing management.
The purpose of the rulemaking is to
address a variety of these discrete issues
related to the current regulatory scheme
without altering the fundamental
structure of the grazing regulations. In
other words, we are adjusting rather
than conducting a major overhaul of the
grazing regulations. Fundamental
changes such as modifications to the
grazing fee provisions; the addition of
new regulatory topics; or the removal of
substantial portions of the regulations
do not meet this limited purpose.
The key amendments of the
regulations governing grazing
administration are intended to: make
clear that BLM managers will document
their consideration of the relevant
social, cultural, and economic
consequences of decisions affecting
grazing, consistent with the
requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969; allow
the BLM and a grazing permittee to
share title of certain permanent range
improvements—such as a fence, well, or
pipeline—if they are constructed under
what is known as a Cooperative Range
Improvement Agreement; phase in
livestock grazing decreases (and
increases) of more than 10 percent over
a five-year period unless a livestock
operator agrees to a shorter period, or
unless a quicker phase-in is necessary
under existing law to protect the land’s
resources; expand the definition of
‘‘grazing preference’’ to include an
amount of forage on public lands
attached to a rancher’s private ‘‘base’’
property, which can be land or water;
require both standards assessments and
monitoring of resource conditions to
support BLM evaluations of whether an
allotment is meeting rangeland health
standards; allow up to 24 months,
instead of prior to the start of the next
grazing season, for the BLM to analyze
and formulate an appropriate course of
action that will correct a grazing
allotment’s failure to meet rangeland
health standards; remove the current

three-consecutive-year limit on
temporary non-use of a grazing permit
by allowing livestock operators to apply
for non-use for up to one year at a time,
whether for conservation or business
purposes, with no limit on the number
of consecutive years; eliminate, in
compliance with Federal court rulings,
existing regulatory provisions that allow
the BLM to issue long-term
‘‘conservation use’’ permits; make clear
how the BLM will authorize grazing if
a BLM decision affecting a grazing
permit is ‘‘stayed’’ (postponed) pending
administrative appeal; clarify that if a
livestock operator is convicted of
violating a Federal, State, or other law,
and if the violation occurs while he is
engaged in grazing-related activities, the
BLM may take action against his grazing
permit or lease only if the violation
occurred on the BLM-managed
allotment where the operator is
authorized to graze; improve efficiency
in the BLM’s management of public
lands grazing by focusing the role of the
interested public on planning decisions
and reports that influence daily
management, rather than on daily
management decisions themselves;
provide greater flexibility to the Federal
government to negotiate with
cooperators and States when developing
stock water and acquiring livestock
water rights by removing the current
requirement that the BLM seek
ownership of these rights where allowed
by state law; clarify that a biological
assessment of the BLM, prepared in
compliance with the Endangered
Species Act, is not a decision of the
Bureau and therefore is not subject to
protests and appeals; and increase
certain service fees to reflect more
accurately the cost of grazing
administration.
On March 3, 2003, BLM published an
Advance Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (ANPR) and Notice of
Intent (NOI) to prepare an
environmental impact statement (EIS) in
the Federal Register (68 FR 9964–9966
and 10030–10032) on proposed
revisions to BLM’s grazing regulations.
These notices requested public
comment and input to assist BLM with
the scoping process for the proposed
rule and the EIS. The comment period
on the ANPR and the NOI ended on
May 2, 2003.

During the scoping process, BLM held
four public meetings to solicit
comments and suggestions for the
proposed rule and development of the
draft environmental impact statement.
The meetings were held during March
2003 in Albuquerque, New Mexico;
Reno, Nevada; Billings, Montana; and
Washington DC BLM received
approximately 8,300 comments on the
ANPR and the NOI.
The BLM published the proposed rule
on December 8, 2003 (68 FR 68452),
inviting public comments until
February 6, 2004. On January 2, 2004,
the BLM issued the Draft EIS for a 60
day public comment period. On January
16, 2004, BLM published a notice to
extend the comment period on the
proposed rule to March 2, 2004 (69 FR
2559). BLM held six public meetings in
January and early February, 2004, to
provide the public an opportunity to
comment on the proposed rule.
Meetings were held in Salt Lake City,
Utah; Phoenix, Arizona; Boise, Idaho;
Billings, Montana; Cheyenne, Wyoming;
and Washington DC. Approximately 250
individuals attended the public
meetings and 95 people provided oral
comments. We received more than
18,000 comment letters and electronic
communications. The BLM reviewed
and analyzed all public comments and
prepared the Final EIS. It is a full text
Final EIS and incorporates responses to
the public comments.
