Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 177 / Monday, September 14, 2015 / Notices The Approved RMP was developed with public participation through a collaborative planning process in accordance with the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976, as amended, and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended. The Approved RMP addresses the management of resources and resource uses on about 1,371,000 acres of public land surface; 1,497,000 acres of Federal mineral estate; and 1,463,000 acres of livestock grazing (including 1,371,000 acres of public land surface and an additional 92,000 acres on the US Air Force Saylor Creek Training Range) in Elmore, Owyhee, and Twin Falls Counties in Idaho and Elko County in Nevada. The Approved RMP describes the landscape-level conservation and management actions needed to meet desired resource conditions and regional mitigation objectives for vegetation, wild horses, livestock grazing, recreation, energy development, and Areas of Critical Environmental Concern (ACECs). In the Draft RMP/Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Alternative IV– B was selected as the BLM’s Preferred Alternative. As a result of public comment, internal review, and cooperating agency coordination on the Draft RMP/EIS, Alternative IV–B was adjusted to become Alternative VI (Proposed RMP) and analyzed in the Proposed RMP/Final EIS. The Proposed RMP/Final EIS was published in theFederal Registeron August 22, 2014 (79 FR 49774). The BLM received 8 protest letters during the 30-day protest period. The BLM Director denied all protest issues as reported in the Director’s Protest Resolution Report, which can be reviewed at the following Web site:https://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/ planning/planning_overview/protest_ resolution/protestreports.html. While the Approved RMP contains some conservation management measures for greater sage-grouse habitat, final decisions on how to manage habitat within the Jarbidge Field Office will be made in the Records of Decision for the Idaho/Southwest (SW) Montana Greater Sage-Grouse Plan Amendment and the Nevada/Northeast (NE) California Greater Sage-Grouse Plan Amendment. The Idaho/SW Montana and Nevada/NE California Greater Sagegrouse Plan Amendment EISs will fully analyze applicable greater sage-grouse conservation measures, consistent with BLM Instruction Memorandum No. 2012–044. The BLM expects to make a comprehensive set of decisions for managing greater sage-grouse on lands tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:15 Sep 11, 2015 Jkt 235001 administered by the Jarbidge Field Office in the Records of Decision for the Idaho/SW Montana and Nevada/NE California Greater Sage-Grouse Plan Amendments. During the Governor’s consistency review process, the Idaho Governor’s Office identified discrepancies between the Jarbidge Proposed RMP and laws, plans, policies and programs of the State of Idaho. The discrepancies mostly concerned greater sage-grouse direction and conservation actions in the Proposed RMP and Governor C.L. ‘‘Butch’’ Otter’s ‘‘Alternative for Federal Lands for Greater Sage-grouse Management in Idaho’’ and the Idaho Department of Lands Greater Sagegrouse Conservation Plan for State Endowment Lands. The issues raised by the State of Idaho were responded to by letter from the BLM Idaho State Director. The Governor’s Office did not appeal the State Director’s decision to the BLM Director. The Nevada Governor’s Office did not submit a response to the BLM during the Governor’s consistency review period.

AGENCY: ACTION: On December 30, 2014, the National Science Foundation (NSF) published at 79 FR 78497 a notice and request for comments on NSF’s revised policy on management fee. The payment of a small but appropriate management fee has been a long standing practice at NSF in limited circumstances related to the construction and operation of major facility projects. NSF has strengthened both the criteria used to establish such fees and the controls that may be necessary to ensure that uses of fees are consistent with those established criteria. These efforts resulted in the revised policy that was sent for public comment. On June 16, 2015, NSF received OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act for the Large Facilities Manual (3145–0239) which included NSF’s final policy on management fee under Section 4.2.2.2. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Suzanne Plimpton on (703) 292–7556 or send email to splimpto@nsf.gov. Individuals who use a telecommunications device for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service (FIRS) at 1–800–877– 8339, which is accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (including federal holidays). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The following final Management Fee Policy can be found in NSF’s Large Facilities Manual: SUMMARY: 4.2.2.2 Management Fee Management fee is an amount of money paid to a recipient in excess of a cooperative agreement’s or cooperative support agreement’s allowable costs. Generally, NSF does not permit the payment of fee (profit) to organizations under financial assistance. However, a management fee may be authorized for awards in the limited circumstances of construction or operations of a large facility as the responsible organization is likely to incur certain legitimate business expenses that may not be reimbursable under the governing cost principles.
