Act of 1976, as amended (FLPMA), the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM)

Resource Management Plan (RMP)
Amendment with an associated
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
to address issues relating to oil and gas
in the Mancos Shale/Gallup Formation.
This notice announces the beginning of
the scoping process to solicit public
comments and identify issues.
DATES: Comments may be submitted in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The RMP
amendment is being developed in order
to analyze the impacts of additional
development in what was previously
considered a fully developed oil and gas
play within the San Juan Basin in
northwestern New Mexico. The Mancos
Shale/Gallup Formation was analyzed
in the 2002 Reasonable Foreseeable
Development (RFD) Scenario and
current Farmington Field Office 2003
RMP/EIS. Subsequent improvements
and innovations in horizontal drilling
technology and multi-stage hydraulic
fracturing have enhanced the economics
of developing this stratigraphic horizon.
With favorable oil prices, the oil play in
the southern part of the Farmington
Field Office boundary has drawn
considerable interest and several wells
are planned and being drilled. As fullfield development occurs, especially in
the shale oil play, additional impacts
may occur that previously were not
anticipated in the RFD or analyzed in
the current 2003 RMP/EIS, which will
require an EIS-level plan amendment
and revision of the RFD for complete
analysis of the Mancos Shale/Gallup
Formation. The planning area is located
in northwestern New Mexico,
encompassing about 4 million acres,
