The purpose of the scoping process is
to determine relevant issues that will
influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the planning
process. Preliminary issues have been
identified by BLM personnel; Federal,
State, and local agencies; and other
stakeholders. The issues include
potential impacts related to conflicting
land uses, including oil and gas
development; wind turbine generator
placement; and potential socioeconomic
issues. The RMP amendment will
consider closure of 12,425.34 acres of
BLM surface and sub-surface mineral
estate to oil and gas leasing due to
concerns raised by communities
regarding the protection of drinking
water sources adjacent to the cities of
Rawlins, Saratoga, and Laramie.
Opportunities for on-site, regional, and
compensatory mitigation strategies
would be formulated through
discussions with cooperators and other
stakeholders. Preliminary planning
criteria include:
• Planning decisions will cover BLMadministered public lands;
• Planning decisions will include
split-estate lands where the BLM has
jurisdiction over the mineral estate;
• The planning process would be
collaborative and multi-jurisdictional in
nature;
• The environmental analysis will
consider a reasonable range of
alternatives;
• The BLM will consider current
scientific information, research, new
technologies, and the results of resource
assessments, monitoring, and
coordination;
• The BLM will consider current
potential future uses of the public lands,
through the development of reasonably
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:14 Jul 18, 2014
Jkt 232001
foreseeable future development and
activity scenarios; and
• Decisions in the RMP amendment
will comply as appropriate to all
applicable laws, regulations, policy, and
guidance.
You may submit comments on issues
and planning criteria in writing to the
BLM at any public scoping meeting, or
you may submit them to the BLM using
one of the methods listed in the
ADDRESSES section above. To be most
helpful, you should submit comments
by the close of the 30-day scoping
period or within 15 days after the last
public meeting, whichever is later.
The BLM will use the NEPA public
participation requirements to assist the
agency in satisfying the public
involvement requirements under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (NHPA) (16 U.S.C.
470(f)) pursuant to 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
The information about historic and
cultural resources within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
action will assist the BLM in identifying
and evaluating impacts to such
resources in the context of both NEPA
and Section 106 of the NHPA.
The BLM will consult with Indian
tribes on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175 and other policies. Tribal
concerns, including impacts on Indian
trust assets and potential impacts to
cultural resources, will be given due
consideration. Federal, State, and local
agencies, along with tribes and other
stakeholders that may be interested in or
affected by the proposed action that the
BLM is evaluating, are invited to
participate in the development of the
environmental analysis as a cooperating
agency. The minutes and list of
attendees for each scoping meeting will
be available to the public and open for
30 days after the meeting to any
participant who wishes to clarify the
views he or she expressed. The BLM
will evaluate identified issues to be
addressed in the plan, and will place
them into one of three categories:
1. Issues to be resolved in the plan
amendment;
2. Issues to be resolved through policy
or administrative action; or
3. Issues beyond the scope of this plan
amendment.
The BLM will provide an explanation
in the Draft RMP amendment as to why
an issue was placed in category two or
three. The public is also encouraged to
help identify any management questions
and concerns that should be addressed
in the plan. The BLM will work
collaboratively with interested parties to
identify the management decisions that
PO 00000
Frm 00068
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

are best suited to local, regional, and
national needs and concerns.
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach (including, but not limited to,
analysis of potential impacts related to
hydrology, soils, archaeology, wildlife,
minerals, and socioeconomics) to
develop the RMP amendment in order
to consider the variety of resource issues
and concerns identified.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.

planning and issues related to
management of lands administered by
the BLM. Section 309 of FLPMA (43

establish 10- to 15-member citizenbased advisory councils that are
consistent with the Federal Advisory
Committee Act (FACA). As required by
FACA, RAC membership must be
balanced and representative of the
various interests concerned with the
management of the public lands. The
rules governing RACs are found at 43
CFR subpart 1784 and include the
following three membership categories:

associated with energy and mineral
development, timber industry,
transportation or rights-of-way,
developed outdoor recreation, offhighway vehicle use, and commercial
recreation;
Category Two (one vacancy)—

regionally recognized environmental
organizations, archaeological and
historic organizations, dispersed
recreation activities, and wild horse and
burro organizations; and
Category Three (three vacancies)—

or others. Nominees must be residents
of Utah. The BLM will evaluate
nominees based on their education,
training, experience, and knowledge of
the geographical area of the RAC.

lobbyists from being appointed or reappointed to FACA and non-FACA
boards, committees, or councils.
The following must accompany all
nominations:
—Letters of reference from represented
interests or organizations;
