RMP and the Thunder Basin National
Grasslands Land and Resource
Management Plan. No additional coal
screening determinations with
associated coal planning decisions are
planned for the Buffalo RMP, unless
public submissions of coal resource
information or surface resource issues
indicate a need to update these
determinations.
29. The RMP/EIS will address the
Pennaco Court Decision (Docket No. 02–
CV–116–CAB) requiring analysis of
coalbed natural gas development for
fluid mineral leasing decisions in the
Powder River Basin.
3. Public Participation
You may submit comments on issues,
planning criteria, and resource
information 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. To be most helpful, you
should submit comments within 30
days after the last public meeting.
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. The minutes and list of attendees
for each scoping meeting will be
available to the public and open for 30
days after the meeting to any participant
who wishes to clarify the views he or
she expressed.

4. Categorization of Issues
The BLM will evaluate identified
issues to be addressed in the plan, and
will place them into one of three
categories:
1. Issues to be resolved in the plan;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action; or
3. Issues beyond the scope of this
plan.
The BLM will provide an explanation
in the plan as to why we placed an issue
in category two or three. The public is
also encouraged to help identify any
management questions and concerns
that should be addressed in the plan.
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.

5. Call for Coal and Other Resource
Information
Parties interested in leasing and
development of Federal coal in the
planning area should provide coal
resource data for their area(s) of interest.
Specifically, information is requested on
the location, quality, and quantity of
Federal coal with development
potential, and on surface resource
values related to the 20 coal
unsuitability criteria described in 43
CFR 3461. This information will be used
for any necessary updating of coal
screening determination (43 CFR
3420.1–4) in the area and in the
environmental analysis.
In addition to coal resource data, the
BLM seeks resource information and
data for other public land values (e.g.,
air quality, cultural and historic
resources, fire/fuels, fisheries, forestry,
lands and realty, non-energy minerals
and geology, oil and gas (including
coalbed natural gas), paleontology,
rangeland management, recreation, soil,
water, and wildlife) in the planning
area. The purpose of this request is to
assure that the planning effort has
sufficient information and data to
consider a reasonable range of resource
uses, management options, and
alternatives for management of the
public lands.
Proprietary data marked as
confidential may be submitted in
response to this call for coal and other
resource information. Please submit all
proprietary information submissions to
the Buffalo Field Manager at the address
listed above. The BLM will treat
submissions marked as ‘‘Confidential’’
in accordance with the laws and
regulations governing the
confidentiality of such information.
6. Interdisciplinary Team Approach
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach to develop the plan in order
to consider the variety of resource issues
and concerns identified. Specialists
with expertise in the following
disciplines will be involved in the
planning process: Air quality,
archaeology, fire/fuels, fisheries and
wildlife, forestry and other vegetative
communities, hydrology, hazardous
materials, lands and realty, minerals
and geology, paleontology, rangeland
management, recreation, soils,
sociology, and economics.
Authority: 43 CFR 1610.2(c) and 3420.1–2.

Acting State Director.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Bay
RMP was developed with broad public
participation through a three-year
collaborative planning process. This
RMP/ROD addresses management of
approximately 1.9 million acres of BLMadministered public lands and mineral
estate in the planning area. The Bay
RMP/ROD is designed to achieve or
maintain desired future conditions
identified through the planning process.
It includes management direction to
meet the desired resource conditions for
upland and riparian vegetation, wildlife
habitats, cultural and visual resources,
and recreation.
The approved Bay RMP is nearly the
same as Alternative D in the Bay
Proposed RMP/Final EIS, published in
December 2007.
As a result of protests and the
Governor’s consistency review, minor
modifications and clarifications were
made to portions of the analysis
presented in the Bay Proposed RMP/
Final EIS and are discussed in the
Record of Decision.
No inconsistencies with State or local
plans, policies, or programs were
identified during the Governor’s
consistency review of the Proposed
RMP/Final EIS.
