SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The area covered by the permit renewal requests is located in Owyhee County, Idaho, and encompasses approximately 120,000 acres of public land. In addition to livestock grazing, a variety of other multiple uses exist within this area, including year-long recreation activities, particularly hiking, boating, fishing, hunting, and off-road vehicle use; wild horse management; potential wind energy development and electrical transmission line development. The Owyhee Field Office will continue to consult with the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes and other parties, as applicable, on this action during regular consultation proceedings and briefings. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with other stakeholders who may be SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64003 interested or affected by the BLM’s decision on this project were invited to comment as well. The purpose of the action in the Final EIS is to provide for livestock grazing opportunities on public lands using existing infrastructure where such grazing is consistent with meeting management objectives, including the 1997 Idaho Standards for Rangeland Health and Guidelines for Livestock Grazing Management (Idaho S&Gs). The need is established by the Taylor Grazing Act (TGA), FLPMA, and the 1999 Owyhee Resource Management Plan (ORMP), which require the BLM to respond to new applications or renewals for permits to graze livestock on public land. A detailed analysis of actions and alternative actions identified in the applications for grazing permit renewals is needed because: • The BLM-Idaho adopted the 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 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 (GRSG) 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 not making significant progress toward meeting the Idaho Standards for Rangeland Health, and not achieving ORMP objectives. Evidence suggests that contact between bighorn sheep and E:\FR\FM\25OCN1.SGM 25OCN1
