The BLM and BIA held 17 scoping
meetings between November 2013 and
January 2014, throughout Kansas,
Oklahoma, and Texas, with
stakeholders, interest groups, and the
public.
During the scoping period, the public
provided the BLM Oklahoma Field
Office with input on relevant issues to
consider in the planning process.
Additional information was collected
during three additional workshops, one
each in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas
with the public and cooperating
agencies. Based on these issues,
conflicts, information, and the BLM and
BIA goals and objectives for this
planning effort, the BLM–BIA
Interdisciplinary Team formulated
action alternatives for consideration and
analysis in the Draft Joint EIS/BLM RMP
and BIA IRMP. Following the close of
the public comment period, the BLM
and BIA will use any substantive public
comments to revise the Draft Joint EIS/
BLM RMP and BIA IRMP in preparation
for its release to the public as the
Proposed Resource Management Plan
and Final Environmental Impact
Statement (Proposed RMP/Final EIS).
The BLM and BIA will respond to each
substantive comment received during
the public review and comment period
by making appropriate revisions to the
document, or by explaining why the
comment did not warrant a change.
Notice of the Availability of the
Proposed RMP/Final EIS will be
published in the Federal Register.
Please note that public comments and
other submitted information, including
names, street addresses, and email
addresses of persons submitting

period or 15 days after the last public
meeting, whichever is later.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, and/or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
