SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of a system of strategically
placed fuel breaks in the Great Basin
region is to slow the spread of wildfires
and provide firefighters with the best
opportunity to catch rapidly moving
fires and establish an anchor point,
thereby reducing wildfire size and
improving firefighter safety while
engaging in fire suppression. Fuel
breaks would also offer greater
protection of human life and property,
sagebrush communities, and habitat
restoration investments. Reducing fire
size helps to reduce the expansion of
invasive species, such as cheatgrass and
medusahead. The need for fuel breaks
relates to the increased size and

frequency of wildfires throughout the
western United States in recent years.
The fires have impacted healthy
rangelands, sagebrush communities, and
the general productivity of the lands.
Efforts to suppress these wildfires have
cost approximately $1.7 billion dollars
between 2007 and 2017. These wildfires
have resulted in increased numbers of
injuries and fatalities among wildland
firefighters, destruction of private
property, degradation and loss of
rangelands, loss of recreational
opportunities, and habitat loss for a
variety of species, including the
conversion of native habitats to invasive
annual grasses. The conversion of
rangeland habitats to invasive annual
grasslands further impedes rangeland
health and productivity by slowing or
preventing the recovery of sagebrush
ecosystems.
The preferred alternative (Alternative
D) would authorize a full suite of tools
to construct approximately 11,000 miles
of new fuel breaks within the
223,000,000-acre planning area. Impacts
would include those to native plant
communities that are currently resistant
to invasive annual plants, but may
become vulnerable through repeated
fires. Potential tools would include
manual, chemical, mechanical,
prescribed fire, reseeding, and targeted
grazing. Fuel break types would include
green strips (areas planted with lowstatured, fire-resistant vegetation),
brown strips (areas where all vegetation
is removed), mowed fuel breaks, and
targeted grazing fuel breaks (where
livestock grazing is managed to reduce
vegetation).
Please note that public comments and
information submitted including names,
street addresses, and email addresses of
persons who submit comments will be
available for public review and
disclosure at the above address during
regular business hours (8 a.m. to 4 p.m.),
Monday through Friday, except
holidays.
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.
