domestic sheep can result in the
transmittal of the disease, cause
mortality to individual bighorn sheep,
and affect herd health.
Other key issues identified and
analyzed in the Final 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; GRSG
habitat conditions and the maintenance
and enhancement of GRSG populations
in accordance with BLM policy.
Additionally, livestock grazing that may
result in the reduction or removal of
native vegetation communities that
protect watershed soil and hydrologic
function are analyzed in the Final EIS.
Also included is an analysis of the
potential effects of livestock grazing and
trailing on special status plant species
and their sustainability, as well as on
the spread of noxious and invasive
weeds. The BLM analyzed the potential
effects of six alternative grazing systems.
Alternative 1 is the No Action
alternative, which analyzes the
consequences of allowing current
grazing management actions to
continue. Alternative 2 reflects the
applications proposed by the permittees
currently authorized to graze in these
allotments. This alternative is described
as the Proposed Action and is, in this
case, 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. Both
alternatives 3 and 4 may include animal
unit month (AUM) reductions at varying
levels. Alternative 5 addresses the
effects specific to a change in livestock
classification from sheep to cattle on a
single allotment. Alternative 6 analyzes
the effects of authorizing no grazing in
the allotments for a period of 10 years.
The Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) directs the BLM to ‘‘identify the
agency’s preferred alternative or
alternatives, if one or more exists, in the
draft statement and identify such
alternative in the final statement unless
another law prohibits the expression of
such a preference (40 CFR 1502.14 (e)).’’
The BLM did not identify a preferred
alternative during the Draft EIS public
comment period but has identified a
preferred alternative in the Final EIS, as
required in the CEQ regulations and in

BLM policy. The preferred alternative is
an allotment-specific composite of the
different action alternatives, the effects
of which are analyzed in the Final EIS.
The preferred alternative includes a
reconfiguration of two allotments into
one, as requested by the permittees.
Alternative 2 is identified for 6 of the
allotments, Alternative 4 for 7
allotments, and Alternative 3 for the
remaining 11 allotments in the group,
including for the newly combined Wild
Rat allotment.
Comments on the Draft EIS received
from the public and internal BLM
review were considered and
incorporated, as appropriate, into the
Final EIS. Public comments resulted in
the addition of clarifying text but did
not significantly change proposed
decisions.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR
1506.10.

hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action corrects the first column, second
paragraph on page 54676 to read,
‘‘Pursuant to 43 CFR Part 2930, standard
amenity fees will be collected through
the issuance of a BLM Recreation Use
Permit for the day-use of the White Reef
Park amenities. Fees will be collected
through a self-service pay station
located at White Reef Park. Holders of
the America the Beautiful—the National
