Notice of Availability of the Proposed
Management Plan and Final
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the Craters of the Moon National
Monument and Preserve
Bureau of Land Management

ACTION: Reissuance of a Notice of
Availability of a Final EIS for a
Proposed Resource Management Plan /
General Management Plan (hereinafter,
Proposed Plan/Final EIS), for the Craters
of the Moon National Monument and
Preserve. The Monument is located in
Blaine, Butte, Lincoln, Minidoka, and
Power Counties, in Idaho. (This Notice
of Availability was prematurely released
on August 12, 2005 and retracted.)
AGENCIES:
SUMMARY: In accordance with the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, the National Park and
Recreation Act of 1978, and the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, the
Bureau of Land Management and the
National Park Service have jointly
prepared a Proposed Plan/Final EIS for
the Craters of the Moon National
Monument and Preserve. The Final EIS
discusses public and agency comments
received on the draft EIS. It describes
and analyzes four alternative
management strategies, each presenting
a different approach to resolving issues
identified through public scoping.
Alternative A is the ‘‘no action’’ or
continuation of present management
alternative. Alternative B would
promote more travel and access within
the Monument. Alternative C would
emphasize retention and enhancement
of the Monument’s primitive character.
The Proposed Plan is Alternative D, the
agency preferred alternative from the
draft Plan/EIS, refined by public

comment. Alternative D, which
emphasizes protection and restoration
of physical and biological resources, is
also considered to be the
environmentally preferred alternative.
DATES: No decision on the proposed
plan will be made for at least 30 days
after the Environmental Protection
Agency publishes its notice of
availability of this final EIS in the
Federal Register. BLM regulations (43
CFR 1610.5–2) state that any person
who participated in the planning
process and has an interest that may be
adversely affected may protest those
proposed decisions that would be
implemented on BLM-administered
lands. The protest must be filed within
30 days of the date that the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes its notice of availability.
The National Park Service regulations
do not provide a formal protest process.
However, persons wishing to
communicate with the Regional Director
of the NPS during the 30 days after the
Environmental Protection Agency’s
notice is published may do so by
sending correspondence to Jonathan B.
Jarvis, Regional Director, National Park
Service, 1111 Jackson Street, Oakland
CA 94607.
Instructions for filing protests with
the BLM are included in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of
this notice.
ADDRESSES: The Proposed Plan/FEIS is
posted on Web sites at https://
www.id.blm.gov/planning/craters/
index.htm or https://www.nps.gov/crmo
and has been mailed to those who have
indicated that they want to receive it in
hard copy or on a compact disk.
Additional copies in both paper and
digital format are available in limited
numbers. To receive a copy, write or
call one of the individuals identified in
the next paragraph.

expanded by Presidential Proclamation
7373 on November 9, 2000, for the
purpose of protecting the entire Great
Rift volcanic zone and associated lava
features, all objects of scientific interest.
On August 21, 2002, Public Law 107–
213 re-designated the National Park
Service portion of the expanded
Monument as a National Preserve. The
Bureau of Land Management and
National Park Service are managing the
National Monument and Preserve
cooperatively and are preparing one
management plan to be implemented by
both agencies.
The key components of the Proposed
Plan are as follows:
• Promotes use of partnerships at offsite facilities such as visitor centers and
state parks to provide Monument
information and interpretation.
• Emphasizes protection of vegetation
resources in North Laidlaw Park.
• Maintains a road network suitable
for aggressive fire suppression and
restoration activities within the
Monument.
• Encourages outfitter and guide
services in the expanded portion of the
Monument, instead of new agencyprovided services and facilities.
• Promotes a proactive Integrated
Weed Management Program.
• Proactively protects and restores
sagebrush steppe communities.
• Continues to focus visitor
experience within the Monument on the
existing lands and facilities located at
the north end of the Monument.
• Continues management of the
wilderness area within the original
National Monument boundary and the
wilderness study areas that are awaiting
Congressional action. Proposes a joint
NPS/BLM wilderness/WSA
management plan.
Protests regarding proposed decisions
affecting BLM-administered lands must
be in writing and filed with the BLM
Director. Protests may raise only those
issues that were submitted for the
record during the planning process. Email and faxed protests will not be
accepted as valid protests unless the
protesting party also provides the
original letter by either regular or
overnight mail postmarked by the close
of the protest period. Under these
conditions the BLM will consider the email or faxed protest as an advance
copy, and it will receive full
