Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 86 / Friday, May 3, 2013 / Notices
• BLM-Idaho adopted the Idaho
Standards for Rangeland Health and
Guidelines for Livestock Grazing
Management (Idaho S&Gs) in 1997.
Rangelands should be meeting or
making significant progress toward
meeting the standards and must provide
for proper nutrient cycling, hydrologic
cycling, and energy flow. Guidelines
direct the selection of grazing
management practices and, where
appropriate, livestock facilities to
promote significant progress toward, or
the attainment and maintenance of, the
standards.
• The ORMP identifies resource
management objectives and
management actions that guide the
management of a broad spectrum of
land uses and allocations for public
lands in the Owyhee Field Office. The
ORMP allocated public lands within the
25 allotments available for domestic
livestock grazing. Where consistent with
the goals and objectives of the ORMP
and Idaho S&Gs, allocation of forage for
livestock use and the issuance of grazing
permits to qualified applicants are
provided for by the TGA and the
FLPMA.
Issues were identified by BLM
personnel, Federal, state, and local
agencies, and other stakeholders during
scoping. Some of these key issues
include the effects of livestock grazing
on rangelands, wild horse herd
management areas, wildlife habitats
(including greater sage-grouse habitats),
as well as the potential for disease
transmission between domestic and
bighorn sheep. Livestock management
modifications are required where
current livestock grazing management is
determined by the authorized officer to
be a significant causal factor for not
meeting or making significant progress
towards meeting the Idaho Standards for
Rangeland Health; and to achieve ORMP
objectives. Evidence on interaction
between bighorn sheep and domestic
sheep suggests that contact between the
two species can transmit disease, cause
mortality to individual bighorn sheep,
and affect herd health.
Other key issues that are identified
and analyzed in the Draft EIS involve
the impact of livestock grazing on
riparian area conditions and aquatic
habitat causing the alteration of the
health and composition of riparian
vegetation communities, especially fish
and amphibian habitat conditions
directly related to conditions within the
riparian vegetation community; sagegrouse habitat conditions as it relates to
rangeland health conditions, and the
maintenance and enhancement of sagegrouse populations in accordance with
BLM policy. Additionally, upland

vegetation and watershed conditions
affected by livestock grazing that may
reduce or remove native vegetation
communities that protect watershed soil
and hydrologic function are analyzed in
the Draft EIS. Also included in the
analysis of issues are special status
plant species and how their
reproduction can be affected by
livestock grazing, and how noxious and
invasive weeds have the potential to
increase or spread by livestock grazing
and trailing.
The BLM analyzed the potential
effects of six alternative grazing systems.
Alternative 1 is the No Action
alternative, which analyzes the
consequences if current grazing
management actions were to continue.
Alternative 2 reflects the applications
received from the current permittees
who are authorized to graze in these
allotments. This alternative is described
as the Proposed Action which, in this
case, is one that was developed by nonBLM parties. Alternative 3 analyzes the
incorporation of a deferred grazing
schedule where postponement or delay
of grazing is used to achieve
management objectives. Alternative 4
incorporates a grazing schedule that
prescribes seasons-of-use changes
including rest and deferment to protect
and enhance high-value resources
during certain times of the year.
Alternatives 3 and 4 both include AUM
reductions at varying levels. Alternative
5 addresses the effects specific to a
change in livestock classification from
sheep to cattle. Alternative 6 analyzes
the effects of no grazing in the
allotments for a period of 10 years.
By the time the Final EIS is
published, the agency is required to
identify its preferred alternative (40 CFR
1502.14 (e)) and will do so at that time.
The agency seeks public comments on
the proposed action and alternative
methods of rangeland management that
are analyzed in the Draft EIS.
Please note that public comments and
information submitted including names,
street addresses, and email addresses of
persons who submit comments will be
available for public review and
disclosure at the above address during
regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.),

your entire comment—including your

ACTION:
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 42
U.S.C. 4332(2)(C), the National Park
Service announces the availability of a
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
for the General Management Plan, Big
Thicket National Preserve, Texas.
DATES: The National Park Service will
accept comments on the Draft
Environmental Impact Statement from
the public for 60 days after the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes this Notice of Availability.
Public meetings on the draft will be
scheduled during the comment period.
Interested parties are encouraged to
check the park Web site and local media
for information.
ADDRESSES: Information will be
available for public review and
comment online at https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/BITH, in the
office of the Superintendent, Doug
Neighbor, 6044 FM 420, Kountze, TX

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
document describes four management
alternatives for Big Thicket National
Preserve, including a no-action
alternative and the National Park
Service preferred alternative. The
anticipated environmental impacts of
those alternatives are also analyzed.
Alternative 1, the no-action alternative,
would extend existing conditions and
management trends into the future. This
alternative serves as a basis of
comparison for evaluating the action
alternatives. Alternative 2, the NPS
preferred alternative, would support a
broad ecosystem approach for preserve
management using partnerships and
collaboration. This alternative
recognizes the challenges associated
with management of cross-boundary
resource issues and the importance of
PO 00000
Frm 00129
Fmt 4703

encouraging partnerships to address and
resolve resource issues. The National
Park Service would proactively engage
in regional planning and policy efforts
for the benefit of resource protection,
compatible visitor use, and other issues
both within and outside the preserve
boundaries. Initiatives that advance the
long-term protection of the preserve’s
natural resources would receive the
primary focus of management attention
and funding. Appropriate visitor uses
and experiences would also be
improved and expanded. Preserve staff
would expand and encourage new
partnership agreements with outside
public and private organizations.
Alternative 3 would emphasize natural
resource preservation and research
while providing self-reliant recreational
opportunities. Alternative 4 would seek
to increase the importance of the
preserve and the National Park Service
to the people in the communities of
southeast Texas and to visitors from all
over the world. If you wish to comment,
you may submit your comments by any
one of several methods. You are
encouraged to submit comments via the
