<![CDATA[
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 101 / Thursday, May 24, 2012 / Notices
presented as the Proposed RMP in the
Final EIS, released December 2, 2011,
for a public protest period and a
Governor’s consistency review period.
The BLM received 27 letters
protesting decisions contained in the
Proposed RMP/Final EIS, including
decisions regarding mining
opportunities in the San Pedro
Mountains and Ojo Caliente Area of
Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC),
management of the La Cienega ACEC,
land tenure adjustment opportunities in
El Palacio, travel management, and
protective management of the Old
Spanish National Historic Trail. While
the Governor’s consistency review
provided input from the Governor that
the BLM considered in its decision
making, the review did not identify any
specific inconsistency with State plans,
policies, or programs. As a result of
protests receive during the protest
period, the BLM made one change to the
Approved RMP by removing language
which unnecessarily limited the
designation of off-highway vehicle
routes within the Santa Fe ACEC,
described in detail in the ROD/
Approved RMP. Editorial and
formatting modifications were also
made to the Approved RMP.
The ROD/Approved RMP does not
contain implementation-level decisions
that may be appealed under the
provisions of 43 CFR part 4, subpart E.
Rather, all decisions are considered
planning-level decisions and were
subject to protest under 43 CFR 1610.5–
2 at the time the Proposed RMP/Final
EIS was made available to the public.

State Director.

laws, when one of the following events
occurs: (1) Upon the issuance of a
decision by the BLM authorized officer
granting, granting with modifications, or
denying the application for a right-ofway; (2) Upon publication of a Federal
Register notice of termination of the
segregation; or (3) Without further
administrative action at the end of the
segregation provided for in this Federal
Register notice initiating the
segregation, whichever occurs first. The
segregation is effective only for a period
of up to 2 years, without the possibility
of extension.
The lands to be segregated are

AGENCY:
On March 15, 2011, BOEM
(formerly the Bureau of Ocean Energy
Management, Regulation and
Enforcement) published a notice in the
Federal Register (76 FR 14040), entitled
‘‘Call for Information and Nominations’’
(the Call). Subsequently, on November
15, 2011, BOEM published a ‘‘Call for
Information and Nominations:
Correction’’ in the Federal Register (76
FR 70748) correcting the sale numbers
that were identified in the Call. This
document describes a revision to the
description of the areas not available for
leasing in the OCS. BOEM believes the
previous descriptions of the areas
excluded by the Gulf of Mexico Energy
Security Act of 2006 (Pub. L. 109–432
December 20, 2006) could be confusing.
