SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We, the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service),
received an incidental take permit (ITP)
application from the Pueblo of Santa
Clara in accordance with the
requirements of the Endangered Species
Act, as amended (ESA; 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq.). We announced the availability
of the ITP application and associated
low-effect habitat conservation plan
(LEHCP) in a March 2, 2020 (85 FR

more information, see that notice.
We are reopening the public comment
period on the ITP application and
associated documents (see DATES and

incomplete statement in the LEHCP

field. This statement has been corrected
and clarified in the LEHCP on the
following pages: Page i (Summary), page
2 (Section 1.1), page 4 (Section 1.5),
page 9 (introduction paragraph to
Section 3), page 19 (Section 4.1), and
page 32 (Section I of Appendix A). No
other changes were made to the
document other than this clarification. If
you have previously submitted
comments, please do not resubmit them,
we have already incorporated them in
the public record and will fully consider
them in our final decision.

This notice announces the
establishment of a categorical exclusion
(CX) for the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) as directed by the
amendment of the Healthy Forests
Restoration Act (HFRA) of 2003 by the
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018.
This establishment revises BLM policies
and procedures for compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA), as amended; other statutes;
Executive Order 11514, as amended;
Executive Order 12114; and the Council
on Environmental Quality’s regulations.
These CXs, as well as others established
by Congress, as described below, will be
incorporated into the Departmental
Manual (DM) and will be added to the
Department of the Interior’s
(Department) Electronic Library of
Interior Policies (ELIPS).
DATES: The CXs will be incorporated
into 516 DM 11 June 1, 2020.
ADDRESSES: The public will be able to
review the revised DM on the
Department’s website at https://

business hours.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
BLM’s NEPA procedures, located at
Chapter 11 of Part 516 of the
Departmental Manual (516 DM 11),
were last updated August 14, 2007. The
Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018
amended Title VI of the HFRA of 2003
(16 U.S.C. 6591 et seq.) to add Section
606. Section 606 directed development
of a CX for specified covered vegetation
management activities carried out to
protect, restore, or improve habitat for
greater sage-grouse or mule deer (HFRA,
Section 606(b)(1)). Section 606 further
provides the specific terms, actions,
limitations, exclusions, and definitions
of activities to be included in the CX
established. As directed by this section,
the BLM is to establish the CX that
meets these same specific terms,
actions, limitations, exclusions, and
definitions; and to establish the CX
within one year of the enactment of the
legislation (by December 20, 2019). In
addition, the BLM is taking the
opportunity to incorporate into 516 DM
11 several other CXs established by
Congress in recent years.
Because the CXs are established or
directed by Congress, the BLM does not
have the discretion to change their
terms.
Below is the new text of Chapter 11,
reflecting the statutorily established or
directed CXs:
11.10 Categorical Exclusions
Established or Directed by Statute
A. The Energy Policy Act of 2005
(Pub. L. 109–58) (42 U.S.C. 15942)
established actions for categorical
exclusion from NEPA analysis. Use of
Energy Policy Act categorical exclusions
does not require review for
extraordinary circumstances. This is
because these CXs are established by
statute, and their application is
governed by that statute. Section 390 of
the Energy Policy Act of 2005 provides:
(a) NEPA Review.—Action by the
Secretary of the Interior in managing the
public lands, with respect to any of the
activities described in subsection (b),
shall be subject to a rebuttable
presumption that the use of a categorical
exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969 would apply if the activity is
conducted pursuant to the Mineral
Leasing Act for the purpose of
exploration or development of oil or gas.
(b) Activities Described.—The
activities referred to in subsection (a)
are the following:
