Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 144 / Friday, July 27, 2007 / Notices
reconsidered in the Final Supplement
because in November 2006, the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
ruled the 2001 and 2003 Annual Species
Review decisions for the red tree vole
should have included additional NEPA
analysis.
The ROD also effectively removes the
Survey and Manage mitigation measure
from the 5,400-acre Coquille Forest,
since by agreement, the Coquille Forest
follows the requirements of the
Northwest Forest Plan on the adjacent
BLM Coos Bay District.
Readers should note this ROD was
signed by the Assistant Secretary, Land
and Minerals Management. Therefore,
no administrative review (‘‘protest’’)
through the BLM was available on the
Final Supplement under 43 CFR
1610.5–2.
The Governors of Oregon and
Washington were provided with copies
of the Final Supplement and proposed
action on May 8, 2007 for 60-day
consistency review. No inconsistencies
with State or local plans, policies, or
programs were identified during the
Governors’ consistency review of the
proposed plan amendments.

State Director, OR/WA, USDI Bureau of Land
Management.
