analysis will assess the direct, indirect,
and cumulative impacts of the proposed
Federal action on the human
environment, comprehensively
interpreted to include the natural and
physical environment and the
relationship of people with that
environment. It will also analyze several
alternatives to the proposed Federal
action, to include no action and other
reasonable courses of action (potentially
including minimization and mitigation
measures not considered in the
proposed action). Relevant information
provided in response to this notice will
aid in developing the draft HCP and
NEPA analysis.
Next Steps
In this phase of the project, we are
seeking information to assist
development of the NEPA analysis and
the HCP, and to inform what level of
environmental analysis would be
necessary for project implementation.
We will then develop a draft NEPA
document based on the ITP application,
draft HCP, any associated documents,
and public comments received through
this early scoping effort. The NEPA
process will vary somewhat, depending
on whether the project requires an EA
or an EIS. We may solicit additional
public, agency, and Tribal input to
identify the nature and scope of the
environmental issues that should be
addressed during NEPA review,
following appropriate public notice. We
will then publish a notice of availability
for the draft NEPA document and draft
HCP and seek additional public
comment before completing our final
analysis to determine whether to issue
an ITP.

Federal Government Shutdown
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) has established new
dates for certain public comment and
protest periods that were ongoing or that
ended during the Federal Government
shutdown resulting from a lapse in
appropriations, which began on October
1, 2013, and ended on October 16, 2013.
DATES: The new dates can be found in
the table under the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Please refer to the contact information
and commenting procedures listed in
the original Federal Register notices.
Web links to the original notices are
provided in the following table.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Before the
Federal Government shutdown, the
BLM published notices in the Federal
Register that informed the public they
could obtain copies of various agency
documents on BLM Web sites. The
notices also contained closing dates for
SUMMARY:

public comment periods and the
submission of protests. Three of the
dates originally were set to close during
the government shutdown and seven
others originally were set to close after
the shutdown ended.
The public was unable to access
certain documents on the BLM Web site
during the government shutdown.
Accordingly, the BLM announced new
dates through the issuance of a press
release for each of the comment periods
and protest periods identified in this
Federal Register notice. Comment
periods and protest periods that were
set to conclude during the shutdown
have been adjusted by adding the
number of days from the beginning of
the shutdown to the original due date.
These additional days were added to the
date of the press release notifying the
public of the new dates. Comment
periods and protest periods that were
originally set to close after the
shutdown were adjusted by adding 16
days, the number of the days of the
shutdown. In some cases, the BLM is
extending comment periods for an
additional period of time. Any
additional extensions were reflected in
the new dates provided in the
individual press releases.
