The Service is available 24 hours a day,
7 days a week, to leave a message or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Approved Plan is the culmination of a
significant effort by the BLM and
interested members of the public,
community stakeholders, and other
local, State, and Federal partners, to
provide for responsible mineral
development in balance with healthy
wildlife habitat, clean air and water, and
a vital recreation economy.
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
The Approved Plan addresses mineral
leasing and development on 785,567
acres of BLM-administered land within
the Moab and Monticello Field Offices.
The Approved Plan amends mineral
leasing decisions in portions of the
existing Moab and Monticello Resource
Management Plans that were completed
in 2008.
The Proposed Plan was selected as the
Approved Plan because it is the
alternative that best balances competing
considerations between outdoor
recreation, iconic scenery, and
development of oil/gas and potash
deposits. The Approved Plan allows
recreation and mineral extraction to
occur in specified areas in order to
minimize conflicts with resources.
The Preferred Alternative in the MLP
Draft Amendment/Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS), with
adjustments and clarifications, was
carried forward as the Proposed Plan in
the MLP/Final EIS released to the public
on July 21, 2016. Five protest letters
were received during the 30-day protest
period on the Proposed Plan, which
ended on August 22, 2016. The letters
were addressed by the BLM Washington
Office. During the Governor’s
Consistency Review Process, the
Governor sent correspondence to the
BLM on September 22, 2016, identifying
alleged inconsistencies between the
Proposed Plan and the State’s San Juan
County Energy Zone. After reviewing
the information submitted, the BLM
determined that the Proposed Plan is
consistent with the Zone to the
maximum extent practical based on the
identified resource values. No
modifications or corrections were made
to the Approved Plan in response to the
protest process and the Governor’s
Consistency Review. The Governor did
not appeal the BLM Utah State
Director’s determination to the BLM
Director.
The ROD does not include any
implementation actions. The mineral
leasing decisions in the Approved Plan
are planning-level decisions and
therefore are not appealable. Future
implementation actions must be in
conformance with the management
direction in the Approved Plan; any
such actions will result from future
decisionmaking process(es), including
appropriate environmental review.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.
Edwin L. Roberson,
State Director.
