information described in Section A on
the following:
(1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the

Abstract: Under section 101(b) of the
Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972,
as amended (MMPA; 16 U.S.C. 1361–
1407), Alaska Natives residing in Alaska
and dwelling on the coast of the North
Pacific or Arctic Oceans may harvest
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses for subsistence or
handicraft purposes. Section 109(i) of
the MMPA authorizes the Secretary of
the Interior to prescribe marking,
tagging, and reporting regulations
applicable to the Alaska Native
subsistence and handicraft take.
On behalf of the Secretary, we
implemented regulations at 50 CFR
18.23(f) for Alaska Natives harvesting
polar bears, northern sea otters, and
Pacific walruses. These regulations
enable us to gather data on the Alaska
Native subsistence and handicraft
harvest and on the biology of polar
bears, northern sea otters, and Pacific
walruses in Alaska to determine what
effect such take may be having on these
populations. The regulations also
provide us with a means of monitoring
the disposition of the harvest to ensure
that any commercial use of products
created from these species meets the
criteria set forth in section 101(b) of the
MMPA. We use three forms to collect
the information: FWS Form 3–2414
(Polar Bear Tagging Certificates), FWS
Form 3–2415 (Walrus Tagging
Certificates), and FWS Form 3–2416
(Sea Otter Tagging Certificates). The
information we collect includes, but is
not limited to:
• Date of kill;
• Sex of the animal;
• Kill location;
• Age of the animal (i.e., adult,
subadult, cub, or pup);
• Form of transportation used to
make the kill of polar bears;
• Amount of time (i.e., hours/days
hunted) spent hunting polar bears;
• Type of take (live-killed or beachfound) for walrus;
• Number of otters present in and
number of otters harvested from pod;
• Condition of the polar bear and
whether or not bear cubs were present;
and
• Name of the hunter or possessor of
the specified parts at the time of
marking, tagging, and reporting.

We use FWS Form 3–2406
(Registration of Certain Dead Marine
Mammal Hard Parts) to record the
collection of bones, teeth, or ivory of
dead marine mammals by non-Native
and Natives not eligible to harvest
marine mammals under the MMPA. It is
legal to collect such parts from a beach
or from land within a quarter of a mile
of the ocean (50 CFR 18.26). The
information we collect via Form 3–2406
includes, but is not limited to:
• Date and location found.
• Age, sex, and size of the animal.
• Tag numbers.
• Name, address, phone number, and
birthdate of the collector.
As part of this renewal process, the
Service plans to carefully review each
form to determine whether any updates
need to be made to the forms. If updates
are made, we will clearly annotate those
updates in the required submission to
OMB.

Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decision and Approved Amendment to
the Resource Management Plan for the
Buffalo Field Office, Wyoming
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, and the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act of 1976, as
amended, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Buffalo Field Office
prepared a Record of Decision (ROD) for
the Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and Resource
Management Plan (RMP) Amendment
for the 2015 Buffalo Field Office RMP.
This effort was in response to a United
States District Court of Montana opinion
and order (Western Organization of
Resource Councils, et al. v. BLM; 3/26/
2018 and 7/31/2018). The Wyoming
State Director signed the ROD, which
constitutes the final plan amendment
decision of the BLM, on November 22,
2019.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD are
available at the Buffalo Field Office at
1425 Fort Street, Buffalo, WY 82834,
and online at https://go.usa.gov/ xP6S3.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 2015
Buffalo Field Office Approved RMP
provided a single, comprehensive land
use plan to guide management of BLMadministered lands and minerals in the
Buffalo Field Office, which includes
approximately 800,000 acres of BLM
surface land and 4.7 million acres of
BLM mineral estate in Campbell,
Johnson and Sheridan counties in northcentral Wyoming.

SUMMARY:

Jkt 250001
Based on the above-referenced court
decision, feedback from cooperating
agencies and stakeholders, and public
scoping, the BLM developed the
supplemental EIS and analyzed a No
Action Alternative and an Action
Alternative. The alternatives focused on
the allocation of lands open for leasing
federal coal, in response to the court
order.
The No Action Alternative
represented the decision area from the
2015 RMP and brought forward all
management decisions that precluded
coal development in the 2015 RMP. It
relied on decisions from the 2001 coal
screening process that informed the
2015 RMP, but used an updated 2018
coal production baseline. The BLM also
used the 2019 U.S. Energy Information
Administration development forecast to
project development in the Buffalo Field
Office over the 20-year planning period.
The No Action Alternative analyzed
686,896 acres for consideration of coal
leasing, which included approximately
73.66 billion tons of BLM-administered
coal reserves.
The Action Alternative also used the
2018 coal production baseline and the
2019 U.S. Energy Information
Administration development forecast. In
addition, the Action Alternative applied
new coal screens (as described in 43
CFR 3420.1–4(e)), considered new
scientific and geospatial data, and
evaluated issues identified through
internal and public scoping. Based on
these factors, the Action Alternative
area analyzed 455,467 acres for
consideration of coal leasing, which
included approximately 52.24 billion
tons of BLM-administered coal reserves.
The Final Supplemental EIS was
published on October 4, 2019 (84 FR
53170). During the 30-day protest
period, the BLM Director received four
protest letters. All protests were
resolved prior to the issuance of the
ROD. Simultaneously with the protest
period, the Governor of Wyoming
conducted a 60-day consistency review
of the Final Supplemental EIS and
Proposed Plan Amendment and found
no inconsistencies.
The approved RMP amendment is a
modification of the Supplemental EIS’s
Action Alternative that makes 495,251
acres of federal coal available for
consideration for leasing. This area
includes all the acreage identified as
available under the Action Alternative,
as well as 40,847 additional acres that
were included under the No Action
PO 00000

Alternative. The BLM made this
decision as a result of public,
stakeholder, and cooperating agency
input on the Supplemental EIS as well
as updated best available information
and special expertise provided by
cooperating agencies and the public.
The ROD summarizes the decisions,
clarifications, and modifications
included in the Approved RMP
Amendment.

This Public Land Order (PLO)
extends the duration of the withdrawal
created by PLO No. 7420 for an
additional 20-year term. PLO No. 7420
would otherwise expire on December 3,

continue to protect the value of the
capital investments, water-oriented
developments, and dispersed recreation
in the Bureau of Reclamation’s (BOR)
Lake Roosevelt expansion area. PLO No.
7420 withdrew 9,175 acres of National
Forest System lands from location and
entry under the United States mining
laws, but not from leasing under the
mineral leasing laws, for a 20-year
period. The lands have been and will
remain open to mineral and geothermal
leasing.
DATES: This PLO takes effect on
