SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The trail
passes through federally-managed lands
under the administration of the BLM,
NPS, U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, Bureau of
Reclamation, Army Corps of Engineers,
and the Department of Defense, as well
as through tribal lands, lands held in
private hands, and lands under the
administration of State and municipal
agencies.
The Old Spanish Trail was added to
the National Trails System in 2002 in
keeping with the National Trails System
Act, to ‘‘promote the preservation of,
public access to, travel within, and
enjoyment and appreciation of the open
PO 00000

air, outdoor areas and historic resources
of the Nation.’’ The trail runs from
Abiquiu and Santa Fe (northern New
Mexico) through Colorado, Utah,
Nevada, and Arizona, to reach its
terminus in Los Angeles, California, and
includes some 2,700 miles along several
historic routes. In its period of greatest
use, from 1829 through 1848, the trail
was traversed by mule pack-trains and
horse-mounted traders bringing woolen
goods west and herds of stock, primarily
mules and horses, east to the burgeoning
markets of the eastern United States and
Mexico. Today, the trail crosses through
or near public lands under the
administration of six BLM States; two
NPS regions, including 11 park units; 15
National Forests; and one National
Wildlife Refuge. Over one-half the
length of the trail route is in tribal,
State, municipal, or private ownership
and management.
The CMP/EIS for the national historic
trail will identify the administrative
policies, objectives, processes, and
management actions needed to protect
trail resources and, where possible and
appropriate, make these resources
accessible to the public and available to
serve the public’s needs for recreation,
education, and heritage preservation.
The CMP will describe the current
condition of the trail route and trail
resources; develop a vision and set goals
for future preservation and development
through consultation with the public,
Native American communities, and
traditional communities with interests
in the history of the trail and the trail
route, and trail resource owners and
managers; and provide guidance for the
preservation and development of these
resources for the public benefit.
Effective administration of the Old
Spanish National Historic Trail will rely
on the cooperative management efforts
and support of Federal, tribal, State,
local, and private interests, including
landowners. The BLM and NPS will
assume joint administration of the trail
and will work together with the public
to develop the CMP. Issue-driven
planning themes identified to date
include:
• Defining a trail corridor that
incorporates trail resource protection
and desired visitor experiences;
• Providing for education,
interpretation, and recreation;
• Incorporating multiple voices into
trail interpretation;
• Reconciling existing uses within the
trail corridor with desired trail
conditions;
• Identifying economic opportunities
related to the recreation use of the trail;
and

Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 11 / Wednesday, January 18, 2006 / Notices
• Coordinating trail management
among Federal, tribal, State, and local
governmental agencies.
More specifically, issues related to the
themes identified above include
possible conflicts between off-highway
vehicle use, energy development, and
trail site and segment preservation,
protection, and appropriate use, and
conflicts between existing uses, future
uses, and the preservation of trail
viewsheds through visual resource
management. Any additional issues to
be resolved through the plan will be
identified during the public scoping
period.
An initial list of affected jurisdictions,
interest groups, business, and
landowners has been developed. A large
mailing list has been generated by BLM
and NPS that will be updated as the
process continues. The mailing list will
include all interested individuals,
groups, and agencies that have
participated in the process. Those who
have participated in meetings or made
written comments through the mail or
the internet will be tracked throughout
the process. Public participation
elements will include, but not be
limited to, public notices and press
releases; newsletters and a project web
page; public meetings (scoping,
alternative development, and review of
draft EIS); and depositories for public
document review.
Nearly 50 sovereign Indian Nations
have expressed an affiliation with or an
interest in the Old Spanish Trail. The
trail planning effort will include full
tribal participation and consultation
throughout the process; a point of
contact for tribal consultation will be
designated to coordinate with American
Indian constituencies during
development of the CMP.
The BLM and the NPS are committed
to a collaborative planning approach in
the development of the CMP. The plan
development will involve other Federal
agencies, including the U.S. Forest
Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Bureau of Reclamation, the
Army Corps of Engineers, and the
Department of Defense; American
Indian Tribes and pueblos; State
agencies in California, Arizona, Nevada,
Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico,
including Departments of Natural
Resources, Transportation, Historic
Preservation, and Parks; and county and
municipal governmental agencies.
Stakeholders and special interest
groups, including private landowners,
lessees, and permit holders, recreation
groups, trail alliances and associations,
museums and interpretive facilities,
visitor services groups, historical
societies, and scenic and back country

collaboratively with interested parties to
identify alternatives that are best suited
to local, regional, and national interests.
