The Preferred Alternative (Alternative
E) presented in the Draft RMP/EIS was
carried forward in the Proposed RMP/
Final EIS published on June 8, 2007. In
response to the 30 day protest period
that ended on July 9, 2007, two protest
letters were received and responded to
by the BLM.
In response to the additional 60 day
public review and comment period on
supplemental information regarding
proposed ACECs that ended on August
7, 2007, no ACEC related comments
were received, but seven public
response documents were received on
the PRMP/FEIS. The BLM reviewed and
responded to all submittals. No
inconsistencies with State or local
plans, policies, or programs were
identified during the Governor’s
consistency review of the Proposed
RMP/Final EIS. As a result, only minor
editorial modifications were made in
preparing the Approved RMP. These
modifications provided further
clarification for some of the decisions.
Any implementation decisions that
incorporate this document may be
appealed pursuant to 43 CFR, part 4.
Any party who believes that they are
adversely affected by the BLM’s
proposed action(s) may appeal within
30 days of the publication of this Notice.
The appeal should clearly identify the
specific actions being appealed. Please
consult 43 CFR, part 4 for further
information on the IBLA appeals
process.
Dated: October 12, 2007.

ACTION: Notice of states’ decisions to
participate or not participate in
accounting and auditing relief for
Federal oil and gas marginal properties
located in their state for calendar year
2008.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Minerals Management
Service (MMS) published final
regulations on September 13, 2004 (69
FR 55076), codified at 30 CFR 204.200–
215, to provide accounting and auditing
relief for marginal Federal oil and gas
properties. The rule requires MMS to
publish in the Federal Register the
decisions of the states concerned to
allow or not to allow one or both forms
of relief in their state. As required in the
rule, MMS provided states receiving a
portion of the Federal royalties with a
list of qualifying marginal Federal oil
and gas properties located in their state
so that each affected state could decide
whether to participate in one or both
relief options. This notice provides the
decisions by the states concerned to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The rule
implemented certain provisions of
Section 7 of the Federal Oil and Gas
Royalty Simplification and Fairness Act
of 1996 and provides two options for

To qualify for the first option of relief
(notification-based relief) for calendar
year 2008, properties must have
