SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
prepared the Northwest Colorado
Greater Sage-Grouse Proposed RMP
Amendment and Final EIS to enhance
cooperation with States by improving
alignment with State management plans
and strategies for Greater Sage-Grouse,
while continuing to conserve, enhance,
and restore Greater Sage-Grouse and its
habitat.
The BLM developed the proposed
land use plan amendment in
collaboration with Colorado Governor
John Hickenlooper, State wildlife
managers, and other concerned
organizations and individuals, largely
through the Western Governors
Association’s Sage-Grouse Task Force.
Using its discretion and authority under
the FLPMA, the BLM proposes
amending land use plans that address
Greater Sage-Grouse management to
improve alignment with State of
Colorado plans and management
strategies, in accordance with the BLM’s
multiple use and sustained yield
mission.
This Proposed RMP Amendment and
Final EIS is one of six separate planning
efforts that are being undertaken in
response to the Secretary’s Order (SO)
3353 (Greater Sage-grouse Conservation
and Cooperation with Western States)
and in accordance with SO 3349
(American Energy Independence). The
proposed plans refine the previous
management plan adopted in 2015 and
aims to strike a regulatory balance and
build greater trust among neighboring
interests in Western communities. The
Proposed RMP Amendment and Final
EIS proposes to amend the RMPs for
field offices on BLM-administered lands
within Colorado. The current
management decisions for resources are
described in the following RMPs:
E:\FR\FM\10DEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 236 / Monday, December 10, 2018 / Notices
• Colorado River Valley RMP (BLM
2015)
• Grand Junction RMP (BLM 2015)
• Kremmling RMP (BLM 2015)
• Little Snake RMP (BLM 2011)
• White River RMP (BLM 1997) and
associated amendments, including the
White River Oil and Gas Amendment
(BLM 2015)
The Northwest Colorado Greater SageGrouse Proposed RMP Amendment and
Final EIS planning area is part of the
larger Rocky Mountain Region and
encompasses approximately 15 million
acres, including 8.5 million acres of
public lands managed by five BLM field
offices in the 10 northwest Colorado
counties of Eagle, Garfield, Grand,
Jackson, Larimer, Mesa, Moffat, Rio
Blanco, Routt, and Summit. The
planning area encompasses National
Park Service, US Department of Defense,
US Forest Service, US Fish and Wildlife
Service, State of Colorado, county, city,
and private lands. Decisions in this
RMP Amendment apply solely to BLMadministered surface (totaling
approximately 1.7 million acres) and
BLM-administered Federal mineral
estate (approximately 2.1 million acres)
within Greater Sage-Grouse habitat.
The formal public scoping process for
the RMP Amendment/EIS began on
October 11, 2017, with publication of a
Notice of Intent in the Federal Register
(82 FR 47248) and ended on December
1, 2017. BLM Colorado held a public
scoping meeting in Craig, Colorado on
November 8, 2017.
The Notice of Availability for the
Draft Supplemental EIS was published
on October 11, 2017, and the BLM
accepted public comments on the range
of alternatives, effects analysis and Draft
RMP amendments for 90 days, ending
on August 2, 2018. During the public
comment period, two public meetings
were held in Silt and Craig, Colorado.
The Northwest Colorado Proposed RMP
Amendment and Final EIS focused on
the issue of allowing greater flexibility
for the BLM to work with the State of
Colorado on issues related to fluid
minerals management and mitigation.
The Proposed RMP Amendment and
Final EIS evaluated two alternatives in
detail, including the No Action
Alternative (Alternative A) and one
action alternative (Alternative B).
Comments on the Draft RMP
Amendment/Draft EIS received from the
public and internal BLM review were
considered and incorporated as
appropriate into the proposed plan
amendment. Alternative A would retain
the current management goals,
objectives, and direction specified in the
current RMPs, as amended, for each
field office. Alternative B was identified
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:10 Dec 07, 2018
Jkt 247001
as the BLM’s Preferred Alternative.
Identification of this alternative,
however, does not represent final
agency direction. The Proposed RMP
Amendment is a refinement of the
Management Alignment Alternative
from the Draft RMP Amendment and
Draft EIS, with consideration given to
public comments, corrections, and
rewording for clarification of purpose
and intent.
Instructions for filing a protest with
the Director of the BLM regarding the
Proposed RMP Amendment and Final
EIS may be found online at https://
www.blm.gov/programs/planning-andnepa/public-participation/filing-a-planprotest and at 43 CFR 1610.5–2. All
protests must be in writing and mailed
to the appropriate address, as set forth
in the ADDRESSES section above or
submitted electronically through the
BLM ePlanning project website as
described above. Protests submitted
electronically by any means other than
the ePlanning project website protest
section will be invalid unless a protest
is also submitted in hard copy. Protests
submitted by fax will also be invalid
unless also submitted either through
ePlanning project website protest
section or in hard copy.
Before including your address, phone
number, email address, or other
personal identifying information in your
protest, please be aware that your entire
protest, 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.

The Northwest Colorado Greater Sage-Grouse Proposed RMP Amendment

and encompasses approximately 15 million acres, including 8.5 million
acres of public lands managed by five BLM field offices in the 10

Larimer, Mesa, Moffat, Rio Blanco, Routt, and Summit. The planning area
encompasses National Park Service, US Department of Defense, US Forest

and private lands. Decisions in this RMP Amendment apply solely to BLM-
administered surface (totaling approximately 1.7 million acres) and
BLM-administered Federal mineral estate (approximately 2.1 million
acres) within Greater Sage-Grouse habitat.
The formal public scoping process for the RMP Amendment/EIS began
on October 11, 2017, with publication of a Notice of Intent in the
Federal Register (82 FR 47248) and ended on December 1, 2017. BLM
Colorado held a public scoping meeting in Craig, Colorado on November
8, 2017.
The Notice of Availability for the Draft Supplemental EIS was
published on October 11, 2017, and the BLM accepted public comments on
the range of alternatives, effects analysis and Draft RMP amendments
for 90 days, ending on August 2, 2018. During the public comment
period, two public meetings were held in Silt and Craig, Colorado. The
Northwest Colorado Proposed RMP Amendment and Final EIS focused on the
issue of allowing greater flexibility for the BLM to work with the

as the BLM's Preferred Alternative. Identification of this alternative,
however, does not represent final agency direction. The Proposed RMP
Amendment is a refinement of the Management Alignment Alternative from
the Draft RMP Amendment and Draft EIS, with consideration given to
public comments, corrections, and rewording for clarification of
purpose and intent.
Instructions for filing a protest with the Director of the BLM
regarding the Proposed RMP Amendment and Final EIS may be found online
