agencies. The RMP addressed the
following six major questions: (1) How
will human activities and uses be
managed? (2) What facilities and
infrastructure are appropriate to provide
visitor interpretation and administration
of the Monument? (3) How will the BLM
manage resource uses and protect the
biological, historical, cultural, and
visual values of the Monument? (4) How
will Monument management be
integrated with other agency and
community plans? (5) How will
transportation and access be managed?
(6) How will Monument management
affect economic and social conditions in
the area?
The Approved RMP was prepared
under the authorities of the Federal
Land Policy and Management Act
(FLPMA) of 1976 and the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969. The Approved RMP is nearly
identical to the Proposed Plan
(Alternative F) presented in the 2008
Proposed RMP/Final EIS. All decisions
covered by the ROD are either land use
planning decisions that were protestable
under the planning regulations (43 CFR
part 1610), or implementation decisions
that are now appealable under the
regulations discussed below.
The BLM received 45 protest letters
during the 30-day protest period
provided for the Proposed RMP/Final
EIS in accordance with 43 CFR 1610.5–
2. In response to the protests, the BLM
Director decided to prohibit the
personal collection of invertebrate
fossils, petrified wood, and plant
material except that managers and staff
shall facilitate access to public lands for
the purposes of Native American
religious and traditional uses, such as
gathering natural resources (BLM
Manual 8120—Tribal Consultation
under Cultural Resources .06.D. The
Director also clarified the decision to
carry forward the Cow Creek ACEC
designation, adopted by reference the
new transportation management
terminology in Washington Office IM
2006–173, and made a few other minor
adjustments and corrections. All of
these changes are identified in the
Modifications and Clarifications section
of the ROD.
The Governor of the State of Montana,
in his letter dated March 31, 2008,
recommended six changes to the plan
but did not identify any inconsistencies
between the Proposed RMP and
officially approved or adopted state or
local plans, policies, and/or programs.
All of the recommendations were
considered previously in the public
process and development of the
Proposed RMP.

The following decisions are subject to
a separate appeals process: (1) All road
designations; (2) all backcountry airstrip
designations; (3) limiting the group to
20 boaters launching from Coal Banks or

1; (4) the 2-night camping limit at Level
2 sites from June 15 to August 1, and (5)
the motorized watercraft restrictions on
the Upper Missouri National Wild and
Scenic River. These decisions are
implementation decisions and are
appealable under 43 CFR part 4, subpart
E. They are contained in the section
Decisions Subject to a Separate Appeals
Process of the ROD. Any party adversely
affected by these five decisions may
appeal within 30 days of publication of
this Notice of Availability pursuant to
43 CFR, part 4, subpart E. The appeal
should state the specific road, airstrip,
and/or river segment, as identified in
the Record of Decision and Approved
RMP, on which the decision is being
appealed. The appeal must be filed with
the Lewistown Field Manager at the

The clarification of what must be
achieved according to law and policy
will be based on review of the park’s
purpose, significance, special mandates,
and the body of laws and policies
directing park management. Based on
determinations of desired conditions,
the general management plan will
outline the kinds of resource
management activities, visitor activities,
and development that would be
appropriate in the future. A range of
reasonable management alternatives
will be developed through this planning
process and will include, at a minimum,
a no-action and a preferred alternative.

2002 or current NPS park planning
standards or NPS management policies.
Issues to be addressed will include
but are not limited to the following: The
management of lands added to the park
in 2002, as well as visitor use, facilities,
