SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft RMP/EIS addresses public lands and resources managed by the KFO in Grand, Jackson, Summit and parts of Larimer and Eagle counties, Colorado. These lands are currently managed under the 1984 Kremmling RMP, as amended. The planning area includes approximately 378,000 BLMadministered surface acres and approximately 653,450 subsurface acres of Federal mineral estate that will be subject to this Draft RMP/EIS. Decisions in the Draft RMP/EIS will only apply to BLM-administered public lands and federally-owned subsurface mineral estate. The Colorado River Valley Field Office and the KFO were originally jointly revising their respective RMPs. Since the two field offices border one another and share some common issues, a combined planning effort was an efficient way to complete the first stages of the plan revisions, such as public scoping and Wild and Scenic River studies. However, given the complexity of the RMP revisions and in response to cooperating agency and internal BLM comments, each field office will issue separate Draft RMP/EISs, and the planning efforts for the two field offices will continue as separate processes on separate schedules. The Draft RMP/EIS proposes and analyzes four alternatives for future E:\FR\FM\16SEN1.SGM 16SEN1
