Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action The BLM’s purpose and need is to improve the effectiveness of its invasive plant management efforts by allowing the use of EPA-registered active ingredients not currently authorized for use on BLM public lands. Approving additional active ingredients would diversify the BLM’s herbicide treatment options and help meet the purposes that were first identified in the 2007 and 2016 Programmatic EISs related to vegetation treatments, which are to make herbicides available for vegetation treatment on public lands and to describe the stipulations that apply to their use. Preliminary Proposed Action and Alternatives The BLM proposes to approve several herbicide active ingredients, including aminocyclopyrachlor, clethodim, fluozifop-p-butyl, flumioxazin, imazamox, indaziflam, and oryzalin, for use in vegetation treatments on public lands. These active ingredients are registered by the EPA. In an effort to approve any of these active ingredients, the BLM will adopt and rely on Human Health and Ecological Risk Assessments prepared by the U.S. Forest Service. Schedule for the Decision-Making Process Responsible Official Nature of Decision To Be Made lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 The BLM will host a virtual public meeting during the public comment period. The date, time, and virtual access information for this meeting is provided on the BLM website at: https:// go.usa.gov/xtk6a. The BLM will continue to consult with Indian Tribal Nations and Alaska Native corporations on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175, BLM MS 1780, and other Departmental policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration.
