SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501–3521) and OMB regulations at 5
CFR part 1320 provide that an agency
may not conduct or sponsor a collection
of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number.
Until OMB approves a collection of
information, you are not obligated to
respond. In order to obtain and renew
an OMB control number, Federal
agencies are required to seek public
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping activities (see 5 CFR
1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
As required at 5 CFR 1320.8(d), the
BLM published a 60-day notice in the
Federal Register on September 16, 2013
(78 FR 56925), and the comment period
ended November 15, 2013. The BLM
received no public comments in
response to this notice. The BLM now
requests comments on the following
subjects:
1. Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
functioning of the BLM, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
2. The accuracy of the BLM’s estimate
of the burden of collecting the
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
3. The quality, utility and clarity of
the information to be collected; and
4. How to minimize the information
collection burden on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other forms of
information technology.
Please send comments as directed
under ADDRESSES and DATES. Please
refer to OMB control number 1004–1068

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
prepared the Wyoming Greater SageGrouse Draft LUP Amendments/Draft
EIS to address a range of alternatives
focused on specific conservation
measures across the Wyoming range of
the Greater Sage-grouse (GRSG). This
Draft LUPAmendments/Draft EIS is one
of 15 separate planning efforts that are
being undertaken as part of the BLM
and USFS National Greater Sage-grouse
Planning Strategy. The Draft LUP
Amendments/Draft EIS may amend the
RMPs for the BLM Casper, Kemmerer,
Newcastle, Pinedale, Rawlins and Rock
Springs field offices, as well as the
LRMPs for the Bridger-Teton and
Medicine Bow National Forests and the
Thunder Basin National Grassland.
Current management decisions for
resources are described in the following
RMPs/LRMPs:
• Casper RMP (2007)
• Kemmerer RMP (2010)
• Newcastle RMP (2000)
• Pinedale RMP (2008)
• Rawlins RMP (2008)
• Green River RMP (1997) (being
revised under the Rock Springs RMP)
• Bridger-Teton National Forest
LRMP (1990)
• Medicine Bow National Forest
LRMP (2003)
• Thunder Basin National Grassland
LRMP (2002)
The EIS planning area includes
approximately 40 million acres of BLM,
National Park Service, USFS, U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation, State, local, and
private lands located in northwestern,
southwestern, southeastern, and
northeastern Wyoming in 11 counties
(Albany, Carbon, Converse, Fremont,

Notice of Availability of the Wyoming
Greater Sage-Grouse Draft Land Use
Plan Amendments and Draft
Environmental Impact Statement
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976, as
amended, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) and the US Forest
Service (USFS) have prepared the
Wyoming Greater Sage-Grouse Draft
Land Use Plan (LUP) Amendments and
Draft Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the BLM Casper, Kemmerer,
Newcastle, Pinedale, Rawlins, and Rock
Springs field offices and Bridger-Teton
National Forest, Medicine Bow National
Forest, and Thunder Basin National
Grassland Planning Units and by this
notice is announcing the opening of the
comment period.
DATES: To ensure that comments will be
considered, the BLM and USFS must
receive written comments on the Draft
LUP Amendments/Draft EIS within 90
days following the date the
Environmental Protection Agency
publishes notice of the Draft LUP
Amendments/Draft EIS in the Federal
Register. The BLM and USFS will
announce future meetings or hearings
and any other public participation
activities at least 15 days in advance
through public notices, media releases,
and/or mailings.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments

million surface acres and 16 million
acres of Federal oil and gas mineral
(subsurface) estate. Surface management
decisions made as a result of this Draft
LUP Amendments/Draft EIS will apply
only to the BLM- and the USFSadministered lands in the decision area.
The decision area is defined as those
BLM- and USFS-administered lands and
Federal mineral estate within three
categories of habitat identified by the
Wyoming Game and Fish Department:
• Core Habitat—Areas identified as
having the highest conservation value
for maintaining sustainable GRSG
populations, including breeding, late
brood-rearing and winter concentration
areas.
• General Habitat—Areas of seasonal
or year-round habitat outside of priority
habitat.
• Connectivity Habitat—Areas
identified as broader regions of
connectivity important to facilitating the
movement of GRSG and maintain
ecological processes.
The formal public scoping process for
the LUP Amendments/EIS began on
December 9, 2011, with the publication
of a Notice of Intent in the Federal
Register (76 FR 77008), and ended on
March 23, 2012. The BLM held five
scoping open houses in January and
February 2011. The BLM used public
scoping comments to help identify
planning issues that directed the
formulation of alternatives and framed
the scope of analysis in the Draft LUP
Amendments/Draft EIS. The scoping
process was also used to introduce the
public to preliminary planning criteria,
which set limits on the scope of the
Draft LUP Amendments/Draft EIS.
Major issues considered in the Draft
LUP Amendments/Draft EIS include
special status species management
(GRSG specifically), energy and mineral
development, lands and realty
(including transmission), livestock
grazing, fire, wild horses, vegetation
management, special management areas
(ACEC nominations), socioeconomics
(particularly impacts to local
communities) and invasive species.
The Draft LUP Amendments/Draft EIS
evaluates five alternatives in detail,
including the No Action Alternative
(Alternative A) and four action
alternatives (Alternatives B, C, D, and
E). The BLM identified Alternative E as
the preferred alternative. Identification
of this alternative, however, does not
represent final agency direction, and the
Proposed LUP Amendments/Final EIS
may reflect changes or adjustments
based on information received during
public comment, from other new
information, or from changes in BLM
policies or priorities. The Proposed LUP
