In accordance with the R&PP Act, the

a landfill in 1992 and was converted to
a solid waste transfer station. The
transfer station has been in operation
since then in conformance with the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Fire,
Fuels and Related Vegetation
Management Direction Plan
Amendment (hereafter referred to as the
Plan Amendment) was developed with
broad public participation through a
five-year collaborative planning process.
It addresses management on
approximately 5 million acres of public
land comprising the Burley, Shoshone,
Pocatello and Upper Snake Field Offices
in south-central and southeastern Idaho.
Twelve land use plans were amended
upon signing of the ROD by the Idaho
State Director.
The Plan Amendment incorporates
the National Fire Plan’s Cohesive
Strategy and the Federal Wildland Fire
Management Policy of 1995, as revised,
into existing BLM land use plans. The
purpose of the plan amendments is to:
• Establish fire management
guidance, objectives, policies, and
management actions;
• Identify resource goals and
methods, including desired future
condition of the fire-related vegetation
resources, and management actions
necessary to achieve objectives;
• Form the basis to update fire
management plans and integrate them
with allotment management plans,
wildlife management plans, recreation
management plans, Idaho Standards for
Rangeland Health and Guidelines for
Livestock Grazing, and other applicable
plans, to the greatest extent possible;
and
• Provide consistent land use plan
level direction to enable incremental
steps toward a long-term resource goal
of conditions that minimize risk to
human life and property and maintain
or restore vegetation that is resistant to
catastrophic wildfire.
