United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or

telecommunications relay services for

country to make international calls to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
SJINM RMP provides long-term
management for approximately 1,000
acres of BLM-administered public lands.
The approved RMP describes the goals,
objectives, and management actions for
the objects of historic and scientific
interest identified in Presidential
Proclamation 8947, which designated
the area as a National Monument in
2013.
The approved RMP provides an
effective approach to protecting the
objects and values for which the SJINM
was designated while still providing the
public with opportunities to observe,
study, and enjoy these public lands. The
approved RMP is consistent with all
applicable laws, regulations, and
policies, including Presidential
Proclamation 8947 and the Federal Land
Policy and Management Act. The BLM
expects implementation of the approved
RMP to improve resource conditions
and result in more consistent
management of recreation and public
access.
In order to meet the purpose and need
of the planning effort and the mandate
of Presidential Proclamation 8947, the
BLM has developed allowable and
prohibited use decisions for public
lands within the SJINM. As with all
decisions in the approved RMP, the
BLM has considered input from
consulting Tribes, cooperating agencies,
the Office of the Governor of
Washington, the Monument Advisory
Committee, and the public. Based on the
consideration of this input, the BLM
made two changes and one clarification
to the allowable uses that were included
in the proposed RMP; all three of these
modifications were analyzed in the
alternatives considered by the BLM in
both the draft RMP/Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) and the
proposed RMP/final EIS. Specifically,
the approved RMP prohibits dispersed
camping and removed small BLMadministered rocks from inclusion in a
recreation management area. Access to
these rocks will be limited to authorized
educational, spiritual, or scientific
purposes. The approved RMP also
includes clarified language related to
PO 00000
Frm 00089
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
6311
the proposed RMP’s prohibition of
recreational target shooting to ensure
that lawful hunting practices will
continue to be allowed on these public
lands. These changes do not constitute
significant changes and therefore do not
require that the BLM provide the public
with further opportunity to comment, as
discussed in 43 CFR 1610.2(f)(5) and
1610.5–1(b). The ROD summarizes all
clarifications and modifications made
between the publication of the proposed
RMP and the approved RMP. There are
no appealable decisions included in the
ROD.
The approved RMP includes
allowable and prohibited use decisions
that the BLM believes will protect the
cultural and ecological values for which
the SJINM was designated, while also
maintaining the recreational activities
that inspired the public to advocate for
the designation of the SJINM.
Recreational opportunities under the
approved RMP include hiking, hunting,
designated site camping, trail-based
equestrian use, and road-based
equestrian and bicycling use. Based on
current visitor use patterns and input
provided on the draft and proposed
RMPs, the approved RMP’s restrictions
on dispersed camping, target shooting,
and access to rocks are not expected to
substantially impact any ongoing
recreational activities taking place
within the monument.
The BLM developed the SJINM RMP
with extensive stakeholder input
throughout the planning process. The
BLM regularly communicated with, and
solicited input from, the public, nongovernmental organizations, and Tribal,
Federal, State, and local governments.
The BLM provided the proposed
RMP/final EIS on November 22, 2019,
(84 FR 64557) for a 30-day public
protest period and received 236 protest
letters, including 158 unique protest
letters and 78 form letters. The BLM
Director resolved all protests. Responses
to protest issues were compiled and
documented in a Protest Resolution
Report (see ADDRESSES).
The BLM provided the proposed
RMP/final EIS to the Governor of
Washington for a 60-day Governor’s
consistency review. On January 15,
2020, the Office of the Governor of
Washington identified some concerns
and potential inconsistencies between
the proposed RMP and State and local
plans, policies, and programs. The BLM
made all requested changes that were
within the scope of the RMP. These
changes were all related to recreation
management under the RMP and were
within the range of alternatives
analyzed in the EIS. The changes
recommended by the Governor were all

opportunity to comment on the
recommendations, as provided for at 43
