Notice of Availability of the Final
Wyoming Sage Grouse Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
In accordance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended, the Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) Wyoming State
Office has prepared a final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the management of
Greater Sage-Grouse habitat, and by this
notice is announcing its availability.
DATES: The BLM will not issue a final
decision on the proposal for a minimum
of 30 days after the date that the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
publishes its Notice of Availability
(NOA) in the Federal Register. The EPA
usually publishes its NOAs on Fridays.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the final
Supplemental EIS are available for
public inspection at the Wyoming
Bureau of Land Management State
Office, 5353 Yellowstone Road,
Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009. Interested
persons may also review the final
Supplemental EIS on the internet at:

The BLM
has prepared this final Supplemental
EIS to review its previous NEPA
analysis and clarify and augment it
where necessary. This final
Supplemental EIS addressed four
specific issues: The range of
alternatives, the need to take a hard look
at environmental impacts, cumulative
effects analysis, and the BLM’s
approach to compensatory mitigation.
The final Supplemental EIS will help
the BLM determine whether its 2015
and 2019 land use planning and NEPA
processes have sufficiently addressed
Greater Sage-Grouse habitat
conservation or whether the BLM
should initiate a new land use planning
process to consider additional
alternatives or new information.
Comments on the draft Supplemental
EIS (85 FR 10185) received from the
public and internal BLM review were
considered and incorporated as
appropriate into the final Supplemental
EIS. To address public comments raised
during this supplemental analysis, the
BLM convened a team of biologists and
land use planners to evaluate scientific
literature provided to the agency. Upon
review, the BLM found that the most
up-to-date Greater Sage-Grouse science
and other information has incrementally
increased, and built upon, the
knowledgebase of Greater Sage-Grouse
management evaluated by the BLM most
recently in its 2019 land use plan
amendments, but does not change the
scope or direction of the BLM’s
management; however, new science
does suggest adaptations to management
may be warranted at site-specific scales.
