SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 24, 2000, Public Law 106–351
established the Santa Rosa and San
Jacinto Mountains National Monument.
In accordance with section 2(b) of the
Monument’s enabling legislation, its
purpose is to ‘‘preserve the nationally
significant biological, cultural,
recreational, geological, educational,
and scientific values found in the Santa
Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains and to
secure now and for future generations
the opportunity to experience and enjoy
the magnificent vistas, wildlife, land
forms, and natural and cultural
resources in these mountains and to
recreate therein.’’
On October 13, 1999, the BLM and the
Tribe entered into an agreement to
coordinate and cooperate in the
management of Federal lands within
and outside the boundaries of the Agua
Caliente Indian Reservation
(Reservation) within the Monument.
The BLM and the Tribe agreed to meet
annually to identify specific resource
management, land tenure adjustment,
and joint management goals, including
implementation of a Memorandum of
Understanding for joint identification of
opportunities for acquisition and
exchange of lands within the
Monument.
On July 27, 2010, the BLM released
Environmental Assessment (EA) No.
CA–060–0010–0005 and Finding of No
Significant Impact for public review and
comment. This EA addressed the
environmental effects of the proposed
land exchange between the BLM and the
Tribe. The public comment period for
the EA concluded on November 19,
2010; 141 individuals, eight
organizations, and three governmental
entities submitted comments.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 28 / Friday, February 10, 2012 / Notices
Based on public comments and upon
further internal review, it was
determined that preparation of an EIS is
necessary to address potentially
significant effects of this proposed
exchange. Information in the EA will be
integrated into the Draft EIS.
Public scoping will help determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis,
including alternatives, and guide
development of the EIS. At present, the
BLM has identified potential effects of
the proposed land exchange on cultural
resources, Native American concerns,
minerals, threatened and endangered
species, invasive species, wild and
scenic rivers, and non-motorized
recreation access as preliminary issues
for analysis.
All public comments submitted to the
BLM about the EA released on July 27,
2010, will be retained, used to formulate
alternatives and environmental analyses
for the Draft EIS, and responded to in
the Draft EIS. Before including your
address, phone number, email 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 request that your personal
identifying information be withheld
from public review, there is no
guarantee that we will be able to do so.
