SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Haines planning area is located in
Southeast Alaska, bounded by the
Canadian Border to the north and west,
Glacier Bay National Park to the
southwest, and the Tongass National
Forest to the south and east. This
planning area consists mainly of steep
and remote mountainous terrain, with
bedrock and glaciers that restrict road
and trail access. Of the approximately
920,000 total acres within the planning
area, the BLM manages approximately
317,000 acres. The size of the planning
area has changed since signing of the
Ring of Fire RMP Record of Decision
(ROD) in 2008 due to the conveyance of
several sections of BLM-managed lands
to the State of Alaska.
The purpose of this planning effort
was to identify which designations,
associated management practices, and
implementation actions best fulfill the
PO 00000
Frm 00071
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
resource and multiple-use needs within
the Haines planning area. It also
evaluated an Area of Critical
Environmental Concern, as required by
the Ring of Fire RMP ROD. In addition,
this planning effort considered the
results of a multi-year, BLM-funded
study of goat and bear habitat in the
Haines area by the Alaska Department of
Fish and Game, completed in 2017. This
amendment revises the applicable
portions of the Ring of Fire RMP and
provides a plan which is consistent with
evolving law, regulations, and policy.
The BLM prepared an EIS in
accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 to
analyze the direct, indirect, and
cumulative environmental impacts
associated with the proposed action and
the alternatives. The ROD approves the
Agency Preferred Alternative identified
in the Final EIS. The BLM issued the
ROD based on compliance with relevant
laws, regulations, policies, and plans,
including those guiding agency
decisions that may have an impact on
resources and their values, services, and
functions.
On Oct. 7, 2019, the Notice of
Availability (NOA) for the Haines
Amendment to the Ring of Fire RMP
and Final EIS was published in the
Federal Register. The publication of the
NOA initiated a 30-day protest period
for the proposed land-use-planning
decision. NOA publication also initiated
a simultaneous 60-day review by the
Governor of Alaska to identify
inconsistencies with State or local
plans, policies, or programs.
At the close of the protest period three
protests (of which two were found to
have standing) were received. These
protests were resolved by the BLM
Director; individual protest response
letters were sent to all protesting parties.
Protest resolution is contained in the
Director’s Protest Summary Report,
which is available online at https://
www.blm.gov/programs/planning-andnepa/public-participation/protestresolution-reports. The Alaska
Governor’s review found that the RMP
Amendment is consistent with state
plans, policies, and programs.
