To determine the scope of issues
to be addressed in the O&GMP and EIS
and to identify significant issues related
to the management of oil and gas
operations at BISO and OBRI, the NPS
will conduct public scoping meetings in
mid-summer/early fall in both
Tennessee and Kentucky.
Representatives of the NPS will be
available to discuss issues, resource
concerns, and the planning process at
each of the public meetings. When
public scoping meetings have been
scheduled, their locations, dates, and
times will be published in local
newspapers and posted on the NPS
Planning, Environment and Public
Comment (PEPC) Web site at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/biso. To be most
helpful to the scoping process,
comments should be received within 30
days of the beginning of the public
comment period.
DATES:
If you wish to comment on
the scoping brochure or on any other
issues associated with the BISO/OBRI
O&GMP/EIS, you may submit your
comments by any one of several
methods. Comments may be entered online in the NPS Planning, Environment
and Public Comment System (PEPC)
Web site at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/biso. To comment
using PEPC, select the Big South Fork
O&GMP/EIS project, select documents,
select this Notice of Intent, and then
select Comment and enter your
comments (enter comments related to
the OBRI here as well). You may also
mail comments to Superintendent, Big
South Fork NRRA, 4564 Leatherwood
Road, Oneida, Tennessee 37841, (BISO
O&GMP Public Scoping) and your name
and return address. Finally, you may
hand-deliver comments to Big South
Fork NRRA, 4564 Leatherwood Road,
Oneida, Tennessee 37841.
It is the practice of the NPS to make
all comments, including names and
addresses of respondents who provide
that information, available for public
review following the conclusion of the
NEPA process. Individuals may request
that the NPS withhold their name and/
or address from public disclosure. If you
wish to do this, you must state this
prominently at the beginning of your
comment. Commentators using the Web
site can make such a request by
checking the box ‘‘keep my contact
information private.’’ NPS will honor
such requests to the extent allowable by
law, but you should be aware that NPS
may still be required to disclose your

Water Resources
The
following purpose and need statements
related to the management of nonFederal oil and gas operations at BISO
and OBRI were developed at an internal
scoping meeting of NPS staff.
The purpose of the Draft O&GMP/EIS
for BISO and OBRI is to analyze
alternative approaches, clearly define a
strategy, and provide guidance for the
next 15 to 20 years to ensure that
activities undertaken by owners and
operators of private oil and gas rights
are conducted in a manner that protects
park resources and values, visitor use
and experience, and human health and
safety. The plan is strategic in nature
and will not establish any rights or
obligations; NPS authorizes actual
operations on a site-specific basis.
There are over 300 private oil and gas
operations within the BISO and OBRI.
Many of the past and existing oil and
gas operations in these NPS units are
adversely impacting resources and
values, human health and safety, and
visitor use and experience; most are not
in compliance with Federal and State
regulations, most notably, the NPS
regulations governing non-Federal oil
and gas rights, 36 CFR part 9, subpart B.
In addition, future oil and gas
operations have the potential to damage
park resources and values. The plan is
needed to provide an efficient and
effective strategy for park managers to
ensure the units are protected for the
enjoyment of future generations. There
is also a need for park-specific guidance
to help oil and gas operators in their
planning efforts.
The following objectives are proposed
for the management of non-Federal oil
and gas operations at BISO and OBRI:
Visitor Experience, Conflicts, and
Safety
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
• Provide owners and operators of
private oil and gas rights reasonable
access for exploration, production,
maintenance, and surface reclamation.
• Bring existing operations into
compliance with Federal and State
requirements.
• Identify and protect resources that
could be adversely affected by impacts
from oil and gas operations.
Frm 00100
Threatened and Endangered Species
• Protect species of management
concern from unacceptable adverse
impacts resulting from oil and gas
operations.
• Protect critical habitat from adverse
modification resulting from oil and gas
operations.
• Prevent, minimize, or mitigate
conflicts between oil and gas operations
and visitor use.
• Protect human health and safety
from oil and gas operations.
Cultural Resources
• Protect cultural resources,
including those on or eligible for listing
on the National Register of Historic
Places.
Park Management and Operations
• Provide pertinent guidance to
operators to facilitate planning and
compliance with NPS regulations.
• Establish an efficient process under
NEPA for plugging and reclaiming
orphaned or exhausted oil and gas
operations.
