SUMMARY: In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA, 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA, 43
U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has prepared the
Price Field Office Supplemental Draft
Resource Management Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement
(Supplemental DRMP/EIS) to augment
the analysis of managing nonWilderness Study Area (WSA) lands
with wilderness characteristics. This
Notice announces the availability of the
document and the beginning of a 90-day
comment period.
DATES: To ensure that public comments
will be considered, the BLM must
receive written comments on the
Supplemental DRMP/EIS within 90
days following the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes the Notice of Availability in
the Federal Register.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be
submitted by any of the following
methods:
• Mail: Bureau of Land Management,
Price Field Office, 125 South 600 West,
Price, Utah 84501.
• E-mail: UT_Pr_Comments@blm.gov.
• Fax: (435) 636–3657.

public may go to https://www.blm.gov/
rmp/ut/price for additional information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Price
Field Office planning area encompasses
public lands managed by the BLM in
Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah. This
includes approximately 2.5 million
acres of BLM-administered surface
lands and 2.8 million acres of federal
mineral estate underlying federal, State,
and private lands. The Price Field Office
Draft Resource Management Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement
(DRMP/EIS), prepared to guide
management of these lands, was
released for public review on July 16,
2004. (The DRMP/EIS is available on the
internet at: https://www.blm.gov/rmp/ut/
price/).
There are multiple areas (totaling
933,440 acres) outside of existing WSAs,
which have wilderness characteristics.
The BLM’s land use planning handbook
(Manual Handbook H–1601–1) provides
guidance for consideration of non-WSA
lands with wilderness characteristics in
land use planning. The handbook
E:\FR\FM\14SEN1.SGM
14SEN1
52580
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 178 / Friday, September 14, 2007 / Notices
provides that the BLM may consider
these lands and resource values in
planning, and prescribes measures to
manage for their wilderness
characteristics. These characteristics
include the appearance of naturalness,
outstanding opportunities for solitude,
and outstanding opportunities for
primitive and unconfined recreation.
The DRMP/EIS analyzed five
alternatives for management of public
lands in the Price Field Office, and
disclosed the impacts of implementing
each alternative. The Price Field Office
Supplemental DRMP/EIS will prescribe
specific actions to manage for the
wilderness characteristics of non-WSA
lands with wilderness characteristics in
a new alternative to ensure that: (1)
Adequate consideration is given to
wilderness characteristics; (2) an
adequate range of alternatives is
considered for these lands; and (3) an
adequate analysis is prepared from
which to base future land use decisions.
Comments, including names and
addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the Price
Field Office. Before including your
address, phone number, e-mail address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comment, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
Copies of the Supplemental DRMP/
EIS are available in the Price Field
Office and on the Internet at the address
provided above.
