flexibility analysis if a rule would have
a significant economic impact, either
detrimental or beneficial on a
substantial number of small entities.
The proposed shooting closure does not
pertain specifically to commercial or
governmental entities of any size, but to
public recreational use of specific lands.
Therefore, the BLM has determined
under the RFA that these interim
supplementary rules would not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act (SBREFA)
This proposed shooting closure does
not constitute a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined
by U.S.C. 804(2). The proposed shooting
closure merely contains rules of conduct
for recreational use of certain public
lands. The proposed shooting closure
has no effect on business, commercial,
or industrial use of the public lands.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The proposed shooting closure does
not impose an unfunded mandate on
state, local, or Tribal governments in the
aggregate, or the private sector, of more
than $100 million per year; nor does it
have a significant or unique effect on
small governments. The propsed
shooting closure does not require
anything of state, local, or Tribal
governments. Therefore, the BLM is not
required to prepare a statement
containing the information required by
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (2
U.S.C. 1532 et seq.).
pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference With
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights (Takings)
The proposed shooting closure is not
a government action capable of
interfering with constitutionally
protected property rights. The proposed
shooting closure does not address
property rights in any form, and does
not cause the impairment of anybody’s
property rights. Therefore, the
Department of the Interior has
determined that this proposed shooting
closure would not cause a taking of
private property or require further
discussion of takings implications under
this Executive Order.
Executive Order 13132 Federalism
The proposed shooting closure will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. The proposed
shooting closure affects land in only one

state, Nevada. Therefore, the BLM has
determined that the proposed shooting
closure does not have sufficient
Federalism implications to warrant
preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform
Under Executive Order 12988, the
Office of the Solicitor has determined
that the proposed shooting closure will
not unduly burden the judicial system
and that the requirements of sections
3(a) and 3(b)(2) of the Order are met.
The proposed shooting closure includes
rules of conduct and prohibited acts, but
they are straightforward and not
confusing, and their enforcement should
not unreasonably burden the United
States Magistrate who will try any
persons cited for violating them.
Executive Order 13175, Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
In accordance with Executive Order
13175, the BLM has found that this
proposed shooting closure does not
include policies that have Tribal
implications. The proposed shooting
closure does not affect lands held for the
benefit of Indians, Aleuts or Eskimos.
Paperwork Reduction Action
The proposed shooting closure does
not contain information collection
requirements that the Office of
Management and Budget must approve
under the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq. rules requiring
special recreation permits for certain
recreational users will involve
collection of information contained on
BLM Special Recreation Permit form
2930–1. This permit form has been
approved under OMB Number 10004–
0119.

The principal author of these interim
supplementary rules is Erika

Management.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Kremmling planning area is located in
Grand, Eagle, Jackson, Larimer, and
Summit Counties, Colorado. The
Glenwood Springs planning area is
located in Eagle, Garfield, Mesa, Pitkin,
Rio Blanco, and Routt Counties,
Colorado. This planning activity
encompasses approximately 964,000
acres of BLM-administered public lands.
The plan will fulfill the needs and
obligations set forth by the National
Environmental Policy Act, the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act, and
BLM management policies. The BLM
will work collaboratively with
interested parties to identify the
management decisions that are best
suited to local, regional, and national
needs and concerns.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis and alternatives.
These issues also guide the planning
process. You may submit comments on
issues and planning criteria in writing
to the BLM at any public scoping
meeting, or you may submit them to the
BLM using one of the methods listed in
the ADDRESSES section above. Individual
respondents may request
confidentiality. If you wish to withhold
your name or street address from public
review or from disclosure under the
Freedom of Information Act, you must
state this prominently at the beginning
of your written comments. Such
requests will be honored to the extent
allowed by law. All submissions from
organizations and businesses, and from
individuals identifying themselves as
representatives or officials of
organizations or businesses, will be
available for public inspection in their
entirety.
Preliminary issues and management
concerns have been identified by BLM
personnel, other agencies, and in
meetings with individuals and user
groups. They represent the BLM’s
knowledge to date regarding the existing
issues and concerns with current land
management. The EIS will describe and
analyze a range of alternatives,
comprised of the No Action alternative
(continued management) and a number
of action alternatives, each of which
will describe options for addressing the
major issues. The major issues that will
be addressed in this planning effort
include:
• Oil and gas development;
• Range health/upland management;
• Water/riparian issues;
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4703

• Increased recreation demands and
uses;
• Comprehensive travel management
and transportation;
• High concentration of cultural sites;
• Maintaining habitat for Sage Grouse
and Sagebrush obligate species; and
• Rapidly expanding urban interface
areas.
Issues identified through public
comments will be placed into one of
four categories:
1. Issues to be resolved in the plan;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action;
3. Issues beyond the scope of the plan;
or
4. Issues that have already been
addressed but should be better
communicated to the issue holder.
Rationale will be provided for each
issue placed in categories two, three,
and four. The public is encouraged to
help identify these questions and
concerns during the scoping phase.
An interdisciplinary approach will be
used to develop the plan in order to
consider the variety of resource issues
and concerns identified. Disciplines
involved in the planning process will
include specialists with expertise in
minerals and geology, forestry, range,
fire and fuels, outdoor recreation,
archaeology, paleontology, wildlife,
fisheries, lands and realty, hydrology,
soils, sociology, environmental justice
and economics.
The following planning criteria have
been proposed to guide development of
the plan, avoid unnecessary data
collection and analyses, and to ensure
the plan is tailored to the issues. Other
criteria may be identified during the
public scoping process. After gathering
comments on planning criteria, the BLM
will finalize the criteria and provide
feedback to the public on the criteria to
be used throughout the planning
process. Some of the planning criteria
that are under consideration include:
• The plans will be completed in
compliance with the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C.
1701 et seq.) and the National
Environmental Policy Act.
• The plan will recognize valid
existing rights.
• Public participation will be
encouraged throughout the process. The
BLM will collaborate and build
relationships with tribes, state and local
governments, federal agencies, local
stakeholders and others in the
community of interest of the plan as
normal business.
